Film Synopsis:
Female Agents is inspired by the true story of Lise Villameur, a member of the French Resistance who worked for the Special Operations Executive agency (SOE) created by Winston Churchill during World War II. The film follows the story of a group of women organized by expert sniper Louise Desfontaine (Sophie Marceau), who joins the SOE after witnessing her husbands execution. Louise is given the mission of rescuing a British geologist who was captured during the Normandy invasion, and she and her all-female team must use every possible tactic and ruse in order to liberate the agent before the Germans succeed in extracting crucial intelligence from him.

Not a feminist movie. It's an memory of those talentued and courageous women who didn't hesitated to put their lives in danger to save lot more..

Women CAN be like this. Some of us are not only the babysitt-cook-cleaner that lot of you boys think we are.

That was an real matcho's reaction that you had down here..
