10 Best Action Movies Of The Last Decade

There's always been something fascinating about action heroes who just so happen to be children. It's part of the reason why so many people were fans of films like Kick Ass, where the kids are the ones beating the bad guys to a bloody pulp. While something like Kick Ass was a bit more comical and humourous, Hanna is like a far more grounded version of that.

This is mostly down to the film's titular character, played by the fantastic Saoirse Ronan, who is amazing in the role of Hanna. Ronan plays the vicious assassin with a ferocious intensity, making her feel like a legitimate threat to anyone willing to try and fight her. If there were any worries that the fight scenes might not be up-to-par, then they were quickly dashed as we watch Ronan annihilate everyone trying to kill her and her father, played by Eric Bana.

Cate Blanchett rounds out the movie as a senior CIA agent who is desperate to silence them both by any means necessary, but the real enjoyment comes from the cat and mouse game that the're all involved in. From beginning to end, the journey that Hanna goes on is littered with awesome action set pieces and cool coming-of-age moments, that make this the an extrmely fun watch.
