Actors: Charlize Theron, James McAvoy,
John Goodman, Til Schweiger, Eddie Marsan, Sofia Boutella, Toby Jones
Rating: 9 out of 10, A very
interesting female driven action flick. If anyone had any doubts about Theron’s
action credentials after Mad Max they are surely put to rest after this
journey. Charlize kicks total ass as a British operative sent into Berlin as
the wall is falling and all the cold warriors are scuttling to redefine their
shadowy world. The action scenes and Theron’s participation are almost
visceral; some of the best I’ve seen this side of John Wick. My only issue with
the movie was the pacing as these fantastic action scenes were placed amidst a
series of plodding “who done it” scenes which brought everything to a
screeching halt. Luckily Ms. Theron and the action salvage the viewer from
those doldrums each and every time.
MVP: Miss Charlize as the uber
dangerous Lorraine Broughton
