Jane is played by Ella Balinska. Sabina is played by\nKristen Stewart and Elena is played by Naomi Scott. The three have amazing\nchemistry, each with their own unique personality and characteristics. I love\nall three of them a lot. You really do buy that these women have become good\nfriends and they work well together. Of course, the Angels aren\u2019t the only\namazing characters in this cast. Elizabeth Banks, who also wrote and directed\nthis film, plays Bosley and she\u2019s a really fun character. Elizabeth Banks plays\na perfect mentor. There\u2019s also Jonny Smith, who seems to be a throwaway\ncharacter at first, but he is weirdly endearing. The actor, Chris Pang, is strangely\ncharismatic and he ended up being one of my favorite characters in the film. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-medium is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/charlies-angels-DF-27408_r.jpg?resize=150%2C225&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5087\" width=\"150\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/charlies-angels-DF-27408_r.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/charlies-angels-DF-27408_r.jpg?w=400&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><figcaption>Elizabeth Banks in Charlie&#8217;s Angles.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nfilm consists of a lot of awesome action and espionage scenes. There\u2019s some\nreally impressive and honestly quite tense action segments and the espionage is\nreally fun and clever. The gadgets they use are designed really well, in that\nthey are both creative and stylish. Honestly this whole film has a really nice\naesthetic, especially the house where the final fight takes place. There are\nall these bright colorful lights and glass walls with images projected onto\nthem that look amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I give\nthis film 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 13 to 18. It releases on\nNovember 15, 2019. Look for it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott, and Ella Balinska are working for the mysterious Charles Townsend, whose security and investigative agency has expanded internationally.
