Barely Lethal (2015)
Directed by Kyle
Newman this film stars Hailee Steinfeld, Sophie Turner, Dove Cameron,
Jessica Alba and Sameul L. Jackson. A 16 year old girl who has been
raised as a super spy/assassin fakes her own death and runs away to
try living a normal high school life.
This film is
completely confused about it's audience as it oscillates between
being attempting the humour of a high school film and the style of a
pilot of Disney show in the vein of Hannah Montana or something
similar. The script often seems to forget the protagonist has the
skills of a super spy/assassin and encourages some of the worst of
teenage behaviour. It is hard to find much to praise in this film but
I guess the highlight for me was Steve-O having a cameo.
2/5
