n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

I think the only thing I really had to complain about is that the foreign exchange student had an American accent. Could have even tried to fake one. Lol otherwise it was cute.

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.

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

So watching this movie was like watching a episode of a Saturday morning live action show, except with a slightly higher budget. A premise like this has been done before, except much better. So the plot is about a teenager that grew up training at a very young age to be a elite agent. But wants to live the normal teenage life by going to a normal high school so does her homework by watching teenage movies. Then gets to live with foster parents...Thing gets very predictable from there on. The thing is the whole thing is silly and just seems like something made for 10 year olds or younger. There really isn't much reason to watch this movie when movies like "Kingsman: The Secret Service" and "Kick-Ass" is out there. This film is about a hour and 30 minutes long and it was painful to sit through. If you are 10 or younger and this movie just comes on TV for free it might be a okay watch but for the rest, just pass on this one. It even has one really crap chase scene that is better off not watching. The only reason I decided to give this movie a chance was because of the cast. But are just wasted and it's a wonder why they decided to take up these roles.3.5/10
