A little gem. Not enough people have seen this.

Today:

If you actually break the movie down in terms of plot it almost reaches B movie levels and I actually felt like I was on drugs watching the film at times as it has this surreal quality to it but this is obviously intentional as we are viewing experiences for the first time as much as Hanna is and I get where the director was coming from.

I thought the production design and location shooting was superb and nothing like you would expect but Cate Blanchett (usually so reliable) was annoying as hell in the movie and the soundtrack by The Chemical Brothers (whom I like as a band) just doesn't work in the film. All in all an intriguing movie though and definitely worth a watch.
