A Pentagon school for little orphan girls
to teach them to become ice-cold friendless assassins is where it all starts. Hardman
(Jackson) is the teacher. Agent 83 (Steinfeld) is sent on missions around the
world from the age of 16, the top of her class. But she longs for a normal
teenage life. She disappears herself, adopts a normal (yeah, right) family and
enrols in high school, disguised as an exchange student from Canada.
It’s somewhere between
cringe-awful-American-high-school- flick, a little sweet, a little funny. Quite
a high nerd factor, often mean, predictable but with a twist or two.
Add all that together – I’m not too good with maths – and I actually kind of like it. The cast make it work.
