Film Freak 2011 - Hanna

A film from the UK, USA and Germany starring two Aussies as the main characters HUH?

Okay so Hanna has a bit of Kick Ass in it from the get go and with a 16 year old girl as a killing machine how is trained by her father Eric Bana. Cate Blanchett was also a great addition to this film as the "bad guy" and really wore her wig with total respect.

This film was filmed wonderfully and the pumping soundtrack provided by the amazing Chemical Brothers just made the film, when a film has it's visuals and music going for gold it is so much easier to like a film. Only Tron Legacy recently tried their hand at using a major dance act to do an exclusive soundtrack which sort of blew much like the dodgy movie. I think more movies should take on this approach of using a particular artist to do an entire soundtrack.

I know it has been done in the past but I think this is a great idea for today's recording artists to link in with the film world. At least people are still seeing films and this will get music to live on and reach a much larger audience.

Back to Hanna the movie...... The movie has a confusing storyline but again with it's visuals and the Jersey Shore style fist pumping soundtrack you just have to enjoy this movie.

It's action sequences rock, so for that and the talented young Saoirse Ronan this film rates 3.5 kick ass style stars.
