Holy shit that looks awesome. I'm a huge sucker for hot ninja chicks kicking ass, though. It doesn't even need to really have a story... just a hot chick and some good martial arts choreography.

I don't know who chick is, but at least she's believable.

Believable? As in her looks? Or the fact that it only took her 2 seconds to kick the crap out of Duke from GI Joe?

She seemed familiar, but guess not really LoL Looked her up on IMDB and seems like she's done more fighting and athletic stuff than actual acting so far. She was on American Gladiators as Crush LoL So maybe she really can kick some ass, even without a stunt double? Does look to be a great action flick, even if it is just another burned spy/assassin type thing.

She's an MMA whatever that is fighter. I meant her action scenes. It's not like it's Charlize Theron pretending to kick someone's ass. That's really chick putting dude through that window - which is fucking awesome, by the way.

Yeah I know! She's not beefy either, so even cooler seeing a tiny lil thing kicking ass LoL Hubby agrees with me that it looks cool, but his first comment was "Oh hey, it's the whole Jason Bourne thing with a chick" ROFL Which it is, but who cares!

That's what I'm sayin!

If it were "realistic", with her being an MMA fighter, most of the fight sequences would be her hugging them on the ground until they gave up... and really, if she was on top of you, on the ground, would you give up?? But I suppose she has real training in other martial arts besides "hug people til they pass out".
EDIT: Just to clarify, I'm not saying "hug people til they pass out" is bad; there's a reason Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu wins those things all the time. It's effective. The stuff you see her doing in the preview would end up in her losing. In a fight with other trained fighters, you don't kick any higher than the knee, or do fancy-shmancy cool-looking techniques. They teach you them in real martial arts classes, and they work, but generally not against any other type of trained fighter. Figured someone would nitpick on this, so just wanted to clearly state that I'm not dissing the MMA fighters. It just doesn't make for good movie action sequences, lol.
