    I'll put my money on Jodie Foster's Rynn from The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane. She could calmly think and talk her way out of a situation with most of these tough grrrls. And then kill them and stuff them in the cellar.

    I'd go with Hanna. Smart, lethal with a either a bow or gun, great hand-to-hand combat skills, and she can run like a marathoner.
