Young girls are always the best assassins

I’m not Scandinavian, but neither is Eric Bana so even I can tell his accent in this trailer for upcoming action flick Hanna is totally Swedish Chef.
Still, I’m not sure if it says something about me or whether this is just axiomatic, but movies where young girls are trained killers are always, always wicked cool. I mean, little kids kicking ass in general is cool, but the girl thing is for some reason or another more amusing. Likely we can chalk this up to the whole societal convention thing (and reversing gender norms, etc etc) but whatever psychobabble we want to delve into, all I know is this: Saoirse Ronan has that whole pale, cold blooded Ikea salesgirl thing going on and it looks amazing.
Also, yo! Cate Blanchett! She’s the best. And it’s scored by the Chemical Brothers. So that’s what those dudes have been up to.
