Director Martin Campbell was eager to reunite with his Casino Royale star Eva Green on another project again. Knowing her acting capabilities, Campbell knew Green would fit perfectly as a military operations leader in Dirty Angels, an action-thriller of a female rescue squad.

The film also stars Maria Bakalova (Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, The Apprentice), Ruby Rose (Orange Is the New Black, xXx: Return of Xander Cage), and Jojo T. Gibbs (Fresh, Civil War).

Here is the official synopsis:

From Martin Campbell, director of Casino Royale, comes this tense 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.
