Oh, please. Another model-hot chick (Maggie Q) with fierce chopsocky skills takes down bad guys while trading wicked retorts with former colleagues at the evil-quasi-government-conspiratorial-secret-agency she used to work for after they stole her identity, killed the love of her life and forced her to assassinate people. But she's half-naked a lot, so enjoy! Credit: AP Photo/Ben Mark Holzberg
