Hanna, Joe Wright (2011)
The plot here is wholly borrowed -- three parts Bourne Identity; one part La Femme Nikita -- so we'll grade on style points alone, and we'll give a solid B+. Wright usually takes assignments my mom would call "classy," and his obvious geeky thrill in slumming in the action genre is a little irritating. Still, he gets great performances out of his principals -- the albino sprite to the left, plus Eric Bana and Cate Blanchett -- and only at the movie's very end does he allow himself / force us to wallow in an arty and hyperextended symbolist set piece. Completely forgettable but fairly entertaining.
