Directed by David Leitch and inspired by the graphic novel The Coldest City, Atomic Blonde features Charlize Theron as Lorraine Broughton, a top MI6 spy.

The film combines the excitement of spy stories with intense, realistic fight scenes, and was celebrated for its distinctive, vibrant visual style and creatively choreographed action.

The Star Wars sequel trilogy had more than just a few issues. The overall story felt disjointed, largely because there wasn’t a clear plan from the beginning. J.J.

They’re all essential viewing and, arguably, even better than the already excellent Tombstone.
