My Take:Hanna (originally a German film titled “Where is Hanna?) is an astonishingly entertaining thriller that features a solid storyline, with the same level of greatness in execution and a performance. This Blu-ray Disc offering features a highly remarkable high definition video transfer, with virtually lossless surround soundtrack and an assortment of bonus supplements. Story-telling wise, every scene unfolds and answers another question about the main character and unlike most movies of the genre, this movie successfully upheld the suspension of disbelief from beginning to the end with its near-plausibe scenarios. Furthermore, every scene was crafted artistically in non-cliche ways with music and sound effect sprinkled sparingly throughout the surround sound field.
