The last movie I saw in theaters was two weekends ago, my last night in Minneapolis. We went to see "Hanna," with Eric Bana and Cate Blanchett. The girl who plays Hanna is the relatively unknown, Saoirse Ronan. She best known as the lead in "The Lovely Bones" and "Atonement." I think she's a talented actress and has a broad range for portraying different characters. She was perfectly disturbed and cold-blooded as Hanna, the girl assassin trained in the arctic woods by her father (Bana) to kill the woman responsible for her mother's death (Blanchett). Blanchett is of course amazing in it, cold-blooded with a lovely Southern accent. Bana is still looking very good for his age. My favorite part was the little sassy British friend Hanna meets along her journey. And it had a lot of great scenery, especially the portion shot in Morocco. All in all, it was a fairly good movie. It shouldn't be in theaters too much longer but is definitely worth the rental when it comes out on DVD. It gets a little bloody at times though, so it is not a movie for the squeamish.
