Scene of the Week: Hanna (2011)- Container Scene

And here, dear friends, is a video from 2011’s Hanna as she gets very, very knifey with some skinhead-looking cats and a guy in a sweatsuit. To be honest, wearing a sweatsuit around sounds like a great way to stay comfortable while also working for a shadowy, evil organization chasing down teenage girls.

I never would have expected Saoirse Ronan to be a better action star than half the men in Hollywood but here we are. What an interesting idea, too? The story of Hanna isn’t the most original and we’ve certainly seen plenty of female badasses gracing the screens over the years, but the idea of blending that story with the fish-out-of-water tale makes Hanna a little something more. Do you like chase scenes? Well, Hanna has them by the boatload, and the combination of interesting camera angles and clever music keep them all from running together.

Synopsis: 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.
