High school movie meets espionage thriller in Barely Lethal.
On screens as one of the Barden Bellas in Pitch Perfect 2, Hailee Steinfeld (pictured) also pops up as a teen assassin in Barely Lethal which opens this week.
This teenage spy comedy opened on US cable tv at the end of April and receives a limited release in the US at the same time as it hits South African theatres.
Steinfeld’s character Megan has been raised by an international espionage agency and when she fakes her death to get away from them, she enrols in a local high school. Sophie Turner plays her new best friend who has actually been despatched by said agency to bring her back into the fold and Samuel L Jackson pops up as Megan’s handler.
The 98-minute film has an age restriction of 13 because of language and violence.
