What action movies do the "female protagonist" meme properly without turning it into a mary sue like nu-wars, or a detestable obnoxious ratface like wonder woman?

Jacob Watson
lol and yes anderson was good too. dredd just did female character right
Sebastian Gomez
Lotr does female characters right, even if their number is old fashioned
Thomas Hill
Atomic Blonde
She kicks asses, but also gets beat to pulp, visible bruises, weaker and weaker punches as fights progress.
Expected another over the top 'stryng womyn' but actual result is really acceptable.

Sicario

SAA?
Jose Mitchell

Landon Bell
Strange Days has a good action girl but she's not the protagonist.
Jace Johnson
Best one is the scene in 'True Romance' where Alabama defeats the Mafia hitman.
David Ortiz
Sicario.
Villeneuve is redpilled when it comes to showcasing female strength in his movies. BR2049 was another good case of this (albeit not the protagonist)
Aiden Smith
Silence of the Lambs.
Not only does it not devolve into mary sue bullshit, but it also tackles the theme of a woman working in a male-oriented field with subtlety.
Even the part where she directly mentions it ("It matters, sir...Cops look at you to see how to act and...it matters." I'm paraphrasing here) is handled like a scalpel, not a sledgehammer.
If I had a daughter I'd make her watch Silence of the Lambs.

Like others have said Emily Blunt was fucking incredible in Sicario as a straight shooting cop who is in way over her head
