About this movie

Oscar®-winner Charlize Theron stars as elite MI6's most lethal assassin and the crown jewel of her Majesty's secret intelligence service, Lorraine Broughton. When she's sent on a covert mission into Cold War Berlin, she must use all of the spycraft, sensuality and savagery she has to stay alive in the ticking time bomb of a city simmering with revolution and double-crossing hives of traitors. Broughton must navigate her way through a deadly game of spies to recover a priceless dossier while fighting ferocious killers along the way in this breakneck action-thriller from director David Leitch (John Wick).

Ratings and reviews

They made a great double-oh-zero to be honest. The lesbian sex scene really bothered me as it was just unnecessary, immoral, and just disrespectful to market these women as sex objects like that (and that goes for all movies). I feel embarrassed for whoever thought this hot garbage could ever be "the next 007".

Good performances in a weak plot with poor directing. Action sequences were decently choreographed, but the camera work was middling, at best. It's like a low-budget director was given a high-budget film and decided to spend all the money on the cast and the definitive 80's soundtrack, rather than hiring anyone that might elevate the directors skill-set.

Hated it. Everything is really dull in this. The writing, the cinematography, the action, (Except for the end) the acting, the dialogue, etc... The plot is extraordinarily thin. The characters bland. Tries to be stylish but doesn't really have anything authentic or original about the way it looks and feels. Wanted to walk out of the theater several times, but my little brother wanted to see it through. Point is, is it's really bad. Might want to pass on this. Critics were way off on this one.
