HANA; Carlisle's Final Word.



“I just missed your heart.” 
Hana.


Script Logic; 1/2

Pace; 0/2

Acting; 2/2

Aesthetic; 1/2

Originality & Intention; 0/2



Final Score; 4/10







So, another film which fails to live up to the hype? Who’d have thought?

Again, Saorise Ronan makes a memorable screen presence, but like The Lovely Bones before this, the film does little to do her justice (but I'm sure this little actress has great things ahead of her). The ever reliable Eric Bana and Cate Blanchette are on hand to give solid support as the doomed father-figure and villainess respectively, but all involved are let down by shoddy direction, a cheap feel and a yawn-inducing pace (as well as one of the most irritating on-screen families in cinema history).

Infuriatingly, the bare bones for a good film are in here somewhere…

 Kudos for an excellent soundtrack by the Chemical Brothers.
