This was definitely a very teen movie. The storyline was quite cringy and cliche. The only bits that really stood out to me were Sophie Turner's acting and the fight between Sophie and Hailee near the end of the film. The rest was ok but not great.
All I need is Hailee. Take it as what it is then it's not that bad
it actually takes talent to create a movie that not a single character is likeable nor connects with anyone in the audience.
there was enough acting talent in the cast to make a decent movie yet this utterly fails.
Barely lethal and barely credible, this is fluff piece that might appeal to a teen audience, but nobody more.
This movie would have been better if it was made for a younger audience...
Not the best movie. Kinda a typical teen movie with the additional spy thing, pretty predictable, and has flaws pretty easy to pick out, but it has a good cast with a cool concept and is enjoyable if u turn ur brain off.
That dude Toby Sebastian can SING! Damn! Also, Sophie Turner should keep working on her american accent, it was kinda dreadful.
For anyone looking for a dumb, fun, acceptably good movie, this is it!
Something light and fun. Hailee and Sophie for the younger crowd, Jessica and Samuel for the long time movie buffs (Alba giving DARK ANGEL fans some retro moments). I give this a 7 (fun) out of 10. [teen - action, adventure, comedy].
Fun movie, with great acting from a superb cast. So what if the plot is a little lame? It's a teenage secret agent movie, there's only so much one should expect from it. The characters were ok and the story was cute enough. The references to classic teen movies got me quite nostalgic, and the overall movie reminded me of those after-school hours movies that used to be on TV in the 90's. Overall, I found it quite pleasant.
This movie is absolutely ludicrous! The core of the story is simply unbelievable. However, this is movie meant to entertain and I dare say that the target audience is not exactly my age. This is clearly a teenage movie. Well, I guess that there is still a bit of a child in me because I found it rather entertaining even though, with a bit less “Hollywoodish” and more intelligent directing it could have been a lot better.
I would say that this is a quite nice family movie. Well not for the really young of course due to the amount of action. Saying that this is a family movie is probably going to annoy a lot of people in the “bible belt” due to previously mentioned action as well as the fact that there is a bit of partying going on, including consumption of fermented and even distilled beverages on but hey, I am Swedish, when I was a kid, way too long ago, there was not a teenager around that had not tasted HB which is the Swedish term for “Hembränt” or in English home brewed alcohol.
Anyway, unless you are a moral fanatic, there is really not much to be upset about in this movie apart from the laughably ludicrous story. Kids being trained as assassins from young age. Ehh, okay. Could have been half plausible if it was not for the “training” scenes in the beginning of the movie. Toddlers operating machine guns and driving cars like Vin Diesel? Okay, maybe they were just above toddler age but I was laughing so hard it was difficult to judge.
What follows is pretty much without surprises (if you have read the blurb at least). Our heroin goes to school and, deprived of a normal childhood, finds it not so easy as she perhaps imagined. Here is where I feel there are a lot of missed opportunities. Our teenage assassin never really gets to truly impress. Sure, she gets to do a bit of clobbering but it is constantly hidden in a veil of ridicule. With a more intelligent script writer this could have been a really cool part but as it plays itself out it is just “okayishly” funny.
Naturally a few bad guys arrive in order to crash the party and, well, we get a bit more of the same as before just with some more action. The action is not bad, for this kind of movie at least, that has to be said. Unfortunately the way it plays itself out is a wee bit disappointing. It is just unintelligent. The beginning of the movie seemed to hint that these teenagers were trained in all areas, including the grey cells, but certain scenes where just, “I cannot believe that you were that stupid”, and for the record I have a teenage son that made the same remarks!
Nevertheless it was indeed a quite entertaining movie. Far from great but definitely worth watching.
Hailee Steinfeld, Samuel L. Jackson, Jessica Alba, Sophie Turner and Jaime King, make silly imitating secret agents and pay them for it
it is what is is. if you try to overthink this one, you wont like it. its a fun little movie if you turn your brain off.
it was nice, but i think it's drama more than adventure or action. but it was fun to watch, hailee is good & i love watching her movies...
mediocre movie, i was expecting to be more fun to watch for such a story
