Hanna

While Hanna left me yearning for more, watch for its star Saoirse Ronan, to go places in the cinematic world.  Eric Bana is a
 dropout CIA agent who raises the product of one of his assignments. 
 The story left me regretting what I did not teach my daughter, i.e
aggressive self-defense, multiple languages, primitive survival skills.
(My daughter turned out rather well, if I may say so.)  Cate
Blanchett, one of today's premier actors, dons a convincing 
Southern accent as a ruthless CIA agent hunting father and daughter. 
Fair to middling action sequences mix with diverting scenery 
for a so-so film, overall.  
Nevertheless, I liked young Ronan and will watch for her later work.
