Martial arts expert. Trained assassin. Special Ops Agent. Killing Machine... Megan Walsh (Hailee Steinfeld) isn't your normal teen. But now she has a new mission: high school. Megan wants to bust out of her strict routine of defend attack maim... and just hang out at the mall with the mean girls. But to escape her secret training academy she has to take drastic action - so she fakes her own death and assumes the role of an exchange student. But Megan quickly learns that surviving the treacherous waters of a typical American high school can be even more dangerous than international espionage. From the Director of Fanboys and with a star-studded cast including Jessica Alba, Samuel L. Jackson and Sophie Turner, Barely Lethal serves up the action shaken and not stirred, makes every mission possible and kicks along with a Bad-Ass attitude. Click. Clique. Bang.

Such a comic book movie that, in style - and also a little in its cast - resembles Robert Rodriguez. But instead of being a great action in the style of "Kick-Ass" or "Kingsman", which the opening plot reminded me of, it's a teen comedy about how difficult it is to fit in when pretending to be a Canadian. But in the end, it all works out and everything bad turns into good. Jessica Alba is a terrible villain.
