We continue our series going through the entire cataloguer of A24’s films. On this episode we are looking at 2015’s â Barely Lethalâ directed by Kyle Newman. The film stars Hailee Steinfeld as Megan/Agent 83, a teenage secret agent who runs away to be a regular high school student but trouble pops up in the form of her rival Heather/Agent 84, played by Sophie Turner. Joining the show is Jericho Tadeo, The Asian Cut’s newest editor!
