Reviews

burogc First off, don't think that the header for this review is a slam. In fact this movie goes out of the way to embrace tropes. It tells you straight up it's gonna go for the bad-ass action and angst filled tropes with GUSTO!It takes all the awkwardness of high school, and all the insanity of action, mixes them and turns them on their head. First off the "ugly duckling" gets twisted a LOT. "Megan" is an orphan raised in Samuel L. Jackson's school where A is for Ammo, B is for Bazooka, and C is for Chainsaw. Our heroine can't help but exam Teen Life through that training, and the lenses of teen movies/books. And makes mistakes because she just doesn't get normal life. Overall, at least for me, a fresh take on yet another teen movie. Oh, and if Sansa had been based on Sophie Turner in this movie, Ramsey would have been fed to the dogs straight up.
rogerdozier First off I'm a guy not a girl and I'm not gay but I really enjoyed this. It was fun and I would definitely recommend for any young girls out there but it still good for guys to if you don't set and pick at it.
cogeorge-17949 I believe this movie has a nice story line: a teenage girl missing out on the trends of adolescence and wants to be a part of it; and great casting: Hailee Steinfeld, Jason Drucker, Dove Cameron and Thomas Mann to name a few who did a fine job. I expected funny moments, and there were funny moments, actually funnier than I expected, and such as are peculiar to high school.Megan (Steinfeld) thought she could eventually be the best student at Newton High School as she was at Prescott, but realizes it's not as easy adjusting to it's highs and lows in just a few days or weeks. Jason Drucker, I'd say was my favorite character. He already likes Megan even before she arrived "from Canada", and throughout the movie, kept me giggling anytime he was on screen. He always looked like he wished he could say more than he was given. Cameron was splendid. I could feel her initial dislike for a totally inexperienced newbie at high school; and Thomas Mann played his nerdy role brilliantly. Sophie did good being a second-best, less preferred agent, envious of 83. Jackson played a fatherly (sort-of) role: serious minded, and looking out for his Prescotts. Although I do not perfectly understand Jessica's role, but so far she did well.It's really a good movie. The cast and crew were excellent.
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
