Monday Movie Meme - The Ladykillers

Amila Terzimehic stars in Relativity Media´s November Man. © 2014 No Spies, LLC. All Rights Reserved.The theme for this week’s Monday Movie Meme is focused on the most dangerous women in film: The Ladykillers.  

Share on your blog or in the comments section, movies featuring female characters who are cold blooded murderers. These women take no prisoners regardless of whether their targets are the result of personal vendettas or professional duties.

Here are my selections for this week’s The Ladykillers

The November Man 

A female assassin goes after the sole witness to war crimes committed by a Russian president-elect; killing anyone involved or associated with the target including CIA operatives, in this spy thriller starring Amila Terzimehic and Pierce Brosnan.

Hanna

A ruthless female intelligence agents pulls out all the stops in her quest to eliminate a sixteen year-old girl, to keep some horrific secrets hidden, in this action thriller starring Cate Blanchett.

Belly 

If you’ve seen this crime drama starring Nas, DMX, then chances are you already know that the machete chick with the wild hair who swooped down out of thin air to kill a drug kingpin is the reason why I added it to my list of ladykillers.

Colombiana

Working as an assassin provides one woman with the skills to carry out a grudge against her most sought after target – the mobster who killed her parents. Actress Zoe Saldana stars in this crime drama that also made a previous Monday Movie Meme list for our Sniper on the Roof theme.

The only one of those movies I saw was Hannah. It was very tense and exciting.

Kill Bill comes to mind, the pulp classic directed by Quentin Tarantino, where the near dead assassin (Uma Thurman) returns to strength, one toe wiggle at a time, with vengeance as her driving force to kill Bill and all that stands in her way of getting to him.

Susan,
I agree with you in that "Hanna" was an intense movie. Reading your comment had me realize that I misspelled the title of that film, so I'll be going in to correct it today. Thanks for visiting! :)

Angela,
Your "Kill Bill" selection is an awesome choice for this week's Monday Movie Meme. I still have yet to see the first one but when you mentioned that movie, I started picturing scenes from the second one in my head, like the tough-as-nails training she received from that Japanese guy (or was he Japanese?). She is definitely one of the most dangerous women in film. Thanks a bunch for participating this week. You rock, as always!
