Despite being only 13 years old at the time, Chloe Moretz played two of the strongest female characters seen on film in 2010. It began in Matthew Vaughn's Kick Ass, where she played the tough-as-nails killing machine known as Hit Girl and continued into Matt Reeves' Let Me In, in which she played a blood-hungry creature of the night. In Derick Martini's Hick, though, she plays a wholly different kind of character with a new personality trait: vulnerability. Check out the first clip from the film below, courtesy of MTV.



Based on the book by Andrea Portes, the story follows Luli McMullen (Moretz), a young girl from a broken home in Nebraska. When her parents begin having a huge fight in the middle of her birthday party, she decides to hit the road to Vegas with only her birthday present - a Smith & Wesson .45 - by her side. The film co-stars Blake Lively (who plays Glenda, a drug addict who drags Luli into her criminal dealings) Eddie Redmayne, Juliette Lewis, Alec Baldwin, and Rory Culkin. The film is set to premiere later this month at the Toronto International Film Festival.
