Female assassins, whose existence is spoken of as a rumor, are perhaps at the center of many covert operations. Whether in times of war or peace, female assassins are thought to undertake classified missions that change history. Screenwriters and directors also do not put much limits on their imaginations while creating movies about female assassins. In female assassin movies, specially trained, talented and fatal female characters overcome all kinds of difficulties to fulfill their mission.
The best female assassin movies tell the stories of female assassins who have taken on very difficult missions. Since it is not stated that they are based on true stories, female assassin movies, which we assume to be fictional, are among the productions where the action is experienced at the highest level. Female assassins, some of whom have been specially trained since childhood, and some of them forced into this job due to some weaknesses, focus on contacting their targets by using their different abilities, and this process manages to lock the audience in front of the screen.
Many famous names, including Oscar-winning actresses, played the role of a female assassin at some point in their careers. The existence of such successful names has brought the quality of female assassin movies to the highest point. In fact, some female assassin movies have achieved such great success that later remakes or TV series have been released.
There are many successful productions about female assassins, some of whom work for the secret services of the states and some for the private sector. But, of course, there are movies that have managed to stand out on this subject, as in all genres. To make a list of the best female assassin movies, I reviewed numerous movies and selected the best ones. The fact that most of the movies are named after the protagonist makes the list different in a way. Let's guess the character name of the protagonist by looking at the names of the best female assassin movies.
