Hanna (2011)

Hanna (Saoirse Ronan)is a teenage girl. She is a unique person where she has strength, stamina and smart as a soldier. She was trained and raised by her father Erik Heller (Eric Bana), an ex-CIA man. Hanna was made to become a perfectly assassin that she need to memorize a fake background story so that she could hide her truth identity. When she is ready for everything, her father and Hanna start an adventurous of accomplishing a mission.

Saoirse Ronan has perfectly acts two different character in different movie. Both of their characteristics are extremely different.

In “The Lovely Bones”, Saoirse manage to portray Susie as a fragile, innocent little girl. A teenager that wish to learn, try and experience everything. Because of the curiosity, she was killed by her neighbor.  For the movie “Hanna”, Saoirse completely change to another person. Hanna has a tough and cool looking, but at the same time she is warm and soft inside. She experienced the love by someone that she not knows. It is very hard to keep the truth-self inside and still looking cool. However, Saoirse nailed the character.
