Hanna

When Eurotrash kills. I suppose one can say this thriller has a certain style, but what stands out the most--perhaps unintentionally--while watching it is the awfulness of the "music" that punctuates much of the score. It really grinds on the senses. I suppose it's supposed to give the film a certain edginess and momentum...which makes certain lingering, actionless interludes that much more difficult to understand and accept. Good thing that the cast principals do solid work, and director Joe Wright's visual style is keen (if not his taste in music). Worth a look when it shows up on a service you're paying for anyway, but not entirely worth admission if there were a price.
