Hailee Steinfeld and Sophie Turner Play Badass Special Ops Agents in Barely Lethal

Agent 83’s (played by True Grit‘s Hailee Steinfeld) mission is to take down an arms dealer (Jessica Alba), but all she wants is to get out of the special ops game and be regular high school student. (Sounds like most of our childhoods, right?) But she won’t if her handler (Samuel L. Jackson) or competition (Sophie Turner) have anything to say about it. Check out the trailer for the upcoming high school spy comedy (is that a genre?), Barely Lethal.

Female heroes and a female villain in an action comedy? I can be down with that. What do you all think? Will you be checking out Barely Lethal?
