Maria Bakalova is one of the most talented Hollywood actresses today—having done dramas, comedies, comic book movies, animation, and even horror. So, it’s quite a surprise that she hasn’t any real action films until Dirty Angels. And she entered into this role with a large bang.

Bakalova joins a full cast of female action stars including Eva Green (Casino Royale, Penny Dreadful), Ruby Rose (Orange Is the New Black, xXx: Return of Xander Cage), and Jojo T. Gibbs (Fresh, Civil War). Martin Campbell (Casino Royale, Vertical Limit) directed the movie.

Here is the official synopsis:

From Martin Campbell, director of Casino Royale, comes this action-thriller. When a group of schoolgirls is taken hostage in Afghanistan, an American soldier named Jake (Eva Green) joins a unit of all-women commandos to liberate them. The plan: Gain the trust of the terrorists by posing as members of a relief organization. But double-crosses, tragedies, and the ghosts of Jake’s past complicate the rescue in this do-or-die mission.
