Hanna: Pretty decent. Would recommend as a rental. Simple plot with a bit of a fantastical premise that manages to stay gritty and down to earth enough to suspend disbelief. Will remind you in some ways of a Luc Besson film: Ms. Ronan's performance in this is comparable with Natalie Portman's in The Professional, and it's all around well acted. Simple script, but tells a good story with actions. As far as electronic music scores go, I'd put this Chemical Bros. soundtrack up next to Daft Punk's efforts in Tron any day, but that's just my opinion.
The Lincoln Lawyer: Again, pretty decent. Would recommend as a rental for most fans of the genre, and to see in the theater for fans of John Grisham books/films. Film is well acted, but the action is a slow rolling boil rather than a quick ramp up to the climax. The resolution is a little too easily attained, however, and fairly predictable. A decent script, but could have used a nice punch-up in the tension department towards the end.
