Hanna (2011)
A sixteen-year-old girl who was raised by her father to be the perfect assassin is dispatched on a mission across Europe, tracked by a ruthless intelligence agent and her operatives.
Above-standard thriller with a good cast and some great unusual locations, but with a disappointing finale.
Maltin***: "Opens with a bang and barely ever lets up, with Ronan ably carrying much of the breathless action; she is also the heartbeat of the story, which becomes a bit conventional as the film wraps up."
