I'm excited.
Even if I found the plot description first I'm sure I'd still be excited to see this movie. It looks like it'll be Saoirse Ronan vs. Cate Blanchett, which is enough to intrigue me, never mind the teenage girl assassin vs. cunning female government agent. Ronan always has such an earnestness that's so watchable and likeable. And Blanchett is so smart, so commanding and convincing in every role, almost always with that secret Cheshire-cat smile, like she knows more than she's letting on.
Most of all it's great that this film exists, that the focus is on two strong female characters who literally and figuratively kick-butt, and there may be a sort of sci-fi element to it. Even though Eric Bana also gets top-line billing and the catalyst to all the action, it seems like most of the action will be between these two women.
Oh, and I guess I have a soft spot for a movie partially set in the tundra, where everything is bleak and cold and reminiscent of Hoth.
