Hanna

So, I feel Hanna is a really good movie for about two-thirds of the way, but it doesn't quite stick the landing. It's not that the ending sucks or it turns out that Jimmy Olsen is really Henry James Olsen, it's just that the payoffs for a lot of the build-up isn't as satisfying as you would've expected. But throughout, there's a care and finesse to the picture, with a lot of the film's energy devoted to artistry, metaphor, and general literacy rather than CGI and explosions. It's honestly refreshing. Then it comes time to wrap things up.
