I remember people talking about it back in the day when it was a new movie. I don't remember what exactly did they talk about, I was a kid. But it was a well known movie.
When my wife was in voice acting school a couple years ago, she had courses in movie history and storytelling, and one of those had Lola in a list of must watch movies. Thats why I watched it :)

What do you like about it?

I haven't seen it in years but what I remember liking about it was the pace of the movie. Everything about it seemed to generally feel urgent.
 
The first 3 are easy: Hamilton, Weaver, and Thurman. I couldn't really separate anyone from there so I just went with Yeoh for body of work.
 
Easily the best actual acting in these performances is between Sigourney as Ripley and Yeoh as Shu Lien.
 
Saldana is really good in Lioness
Blunt was really good in Sicario (if you count that as an action movie)
Olivia Thirlby in Judge Dredd
 
Weaver
Hamilton
Thurman
Grier(most overlooked)
 
Linda, Sigourney, Carrie-Anne Moss are easy, went Blunt for the last. She was buffed out and totally badass in Edge of Tomorrow. Shoutout Michelle Yeoh, she competes with or exceeds any of them, just my preference. She's possibly the best actress on the list
