Film has a strange rhythm to it. One that jars you out of the film. The editing, the music, the way the plot moves - all strange. I'm not sure about Joe Wright. I liked ATONEMENT but this and THE SOLOIST are terrible movies. Movies that call Wright's competence as a director into question.
He cannot shoot action. The scene where Eric Bana takes down five or six actors looks embarrassingly staged.
He cannot get powerful emotions across. I never felt the pain Hanna's feeling when she learns Bana is not her father and that her entire life is a lie.
If you had put this script into Luc Besson's hands, the film might have rocked. In Wright's hands, the film becomes a muddled mess.
