Surprisingly good movie, I thought

I quite enjoyed this movie (except for a few minutes in the middle when it lagged a bit).

What I especially liked was that there were several interconnected stories and a few different "main" characters, each with their own little drama going on. I know this sort of thing is hardly unique but I thought it was implemented quite nicely in this film.

One thing I would liked to see, although it would have been cliché, would have been to see Hanna have the chance to really tell off the people that were keeping her down. At the end we have to imagine for ourselves (not a bad thing) which way things will turn out for her (will she stay and things remain the same, stay and reconcile, or leave for the FBI).

I to also enjoyed this movie, it kept me on edge the whole time. I really think it should have had better ratings. It must have been very hard for all concerned to make this movie in such terrible conditions. Well Done!

I agree...
I thought there were parallel stories for three of the characters about being kept down by life circumstances -- Hanna, Olivia Wilde's character & Charlie dunnam's character.
Also liked the pacing .. Didn't feel like there were any wasted scenes.

I was disappointed, I had this on my "must-see" list for quite a while and finally got around to seeing it tonight and was very let down by it - Just too short, and the writing felt so amateurish at times.

I thought it was good. Moved pretty fast. Yeah, the sheriff was ridiculous but a lot of people ARE ridiculous. The guy from Sons of Anarchy was really good in this. And Olivia Wild is always hot.
