MOVIE REC: "Hanna"
Click to viewGO SEE THIS FILM. I loved it beyond reason. It's part-creepy-fairytale, part-kickass-action-thriller, part-sweet-coming-of-age story, and one hundred percent amazing!
It's well-acted, beautifully shot, funny in parts, touching in others, creepy, outlandish, and has really well-choreographed action sequences set against a backdrop of techno music. (Trust me, it works.)
Saoirse Ronan is beautiful, and plays the role perfectly. Her Hanna is alternately sweetly innocent and effectively, ruthlessly violent. Cate Blanchett is scary as the obsessively put-together (and also, ruthless) CIA agent. And, Eric Bana is hot.
I had forgotten that, somehow. He's hot with a straggly, caveman beard; hot when he's clean-shaven and wearing a suit; and hot when he's half-naked and soaking wet. Just... yeah. I'd probably see it again for Eric Bana.

Oh, i_reversebang fic! Why must you keep growing and growing? First 3K, then 5K, now 7K! You're much longer than I anticipated, much longer than I'm used to, and it's starting to freak me out. My opinion of you keeps vacillating between "pretty decent, actually" and "omg, this is crap" and I just want you to be DONE ALREADY. Also, I desperately need to get you beta'd, but you have to be finished first! ::cries piteously::
