Now this looks like a teen romcom I can get used to. Actress Halee Steinfeld as a highly trained assassin looking for an out and finds her way into high school in search of a life she’s been missing, only to see her past come back in a deadly way? Yes, despite the usual assortment of wit and adolescent camp you might normally find in any pubescent teen comedy, at least this one packs some heat.
SYNOPSIS:
A 16-year-old international assassin yearning for a “normal” adolescence fakes her own death and enrolls as a senior in a suburban high school. She quickly learns that being popular can be more painful than getting water-boarded.
Jessica Alba and Samuel L. Jackson add their share of starpower to this long-awaited gem from director Kyle Newman with A24 releasing the film to subscribers of DirecTV on April 30 before granting a limited theatrical release on May 29. Whilst an international trailer went viral earlier this year, an official one is now making the rounds. Peep it below.
