Patience Watson One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

johnblaze-25297 This movie was recommended to me by Netflix at 98%. I cannot stress how much I want to cancel my membership over this. I would rather be waterboarded than watch this movie. The cast is a bunch of allstars, which is the only saving grace of this film, but the script is so terrible. Clearly the goal with this film was to make the most uncomfortable cringe-fest in human history. You can't tell me that wasn't the goal, because that was obviously the goal.

SnoopyStyle Megan Walsh (Hailee Steinfeld) is 83. She, Heather 84 (Sophie Turner), and other girls are trained to be assassins by Hardman (Samuel L. Jackson). She grows tired of her work and pines to be a regular high school girl. During an operation to capture Victoria Knox (Jessica Alba), she escapes and pretends to be an exchange student from Regina, Canada. Her host family is a divorced mother (Rachael Harris), snarky teen Liz Larson (Dove Cameron), and little boy Parker. All she knows about high school is from teen comedies which gets her into trouble. Both hunky musician Cash Fenton and AV nerd Roger Marcus take a liking to her.This has a few IT girls on the rise. There are a surprising amount of talent, both kids and adults, in a silly teen movie. It does try to subvert the teen movie tropes. It's just weird that it does it in a childish style. It struggles to find its true voice. It's both sincere and sarcastic. Steinfeld is sincerity incarnate. The set up is stupider than Spy Kids. It's an awkward blend that fails to be compelling. The only compelling aspect is that one roots for Hailee but this is stupid and not in a fun way.

dallaswhiskey This was a thoroughly enjoyable ride from a fresh director and features great performances from three promising young actresses. Hailee Steinfeld continues to show her versatility as Megan, a trained assassin who just wants to be a normal teenager. Dove Cameron gives a strong performance as the daughter of the host family. I hope to see her in many more movies. Sophie Turner plays Megan's nemesis and has less scenes, but shines in the ones she's in, especially in the end. I'm very much looking forward to seeing her in the title role of X-Men: Dark Phoenix. The guys in this flick are mostly ornaments. Good old Samuel L. J. and Jessica Alba also play second fiddle here to the youngsters. Definitely worth a watch. Some action, some high school drama, very much fun. Looking out for more from director Kyle Newman.

Reno Rangan Teen girl's film, but no usual romance-comedy. There are some small clichés, but being it is an action film, those parts looked kind of small. Yeah, nice casting. Hailee was really cool. The 'Descendant' girl Dove was good as well. The rest of cameos like Samuel L. Jackson and Alba was fine. It was from the director of 'Fanboys'. It tells the story of a girl trained to be an assassin from a very young age who escapes the centre to live a normal life in the real world. And that's where she struggles to blend in, as well as to overcome from the tailing troubles of the past.A well entertaining film, if you are not expecting anything big. It got a few great action sequences. Except Sam L. Jack, it is totally a chick film and most probably suitable for everyone for viewing. I enjoyed it, but I don't think I want a sequel for it. Particularly business wise that won't do well as this one was not received well by the film critics. Despite I approve it for a go, the rating wise it is just an average film. Sometimes that's where opinion divides for a film about what we felt watching it and how we're going to rate it later on.6/10
