Review of Barely Lethal (2015) by David J — 25 Jul 2015
I kept telling myself that this was a silly "mean-girls Cody Banks" cheap hybrid, but it was just pretty bad regardless. Hailee Steinfeld and Sophie Turner have both shown in past projects that they do have talent to work with, but none of that is really visible here.
Jackson and Alba fare no better, though Jackson does do a good job of portraying his ridiculous (and dumb) and poorly written character. Like any teenage spy flick, Barely Lethal uses the same bouncy flippy fight scenes and rides its secret agent/high school cliches right till the end.
