Barely Lethal
Click. Clique. Bang.
Directed by Kyle Newman
Produced by RKO Pictures, RatPac Entertainment
A lighthearted action-comedy about an assassin seeking normalcy through high school, balancing spy-thriller elements with coming-of-age warmth and humor.
A 16-year-old international assassin yearning for a "normal" adolescence fakes her own death and enrolls as a senior in a suburban high school. She quickly learns that being popular can be more painful than getting water-boarded.
