#TRAILERCHEST: Guns, gore and kick-ass girls, Atomic Blonde could very well be the next John Wick

Paul Moore

Charlize Theron kicking ass in a film from the director of John Wick and Deadpool 2? Yes!

Plot’s it all about?: Charlize Theron explodes into summer in Atomic Blonde, a breakneck action-thriller that follows MI6’s most lethal assassin through a ticking time bomb of a city simmering with revolution and double-crossing hives of traitors.

The crown jewel of Her Majesty’s Secret Intelligence Service, Agent Lorraine Broughton (Theron) is equal parts spycraft, sensuality and savagery, willing to deploy any of her skills to stay alive on her impossible mission. Sent alone into Berlin to deliver a priceless dossier out of the destabilized city, she partners with embedded station chief David Percival (James McAvoy) to navigate her way through the deadliest game of spies.

Starring: Charlize Theron, Sofia Boutella,, James McAvoy, John Goodman, Toby Jones and more.

Directed by: David Leitch

Release date: 11 August
