The Movie Mavens and The Travelling Toe saw the latest "spy" flick, "Atomic Blonde" at the neighborhood multiplex. The movie features Charlize Theron as a female super spy, rather like a James Bond. But she is just as ruthless and tough as he might be. She can dish it out and take it too. Who is a spy, who is a double agent and who is a triple agent? Can anyone be trusted? That would be a resounding NO!! The movie is based on a 2012 graphic novel by Antony Johnston and Sam Hart. The novel was titled "The Coldest City".
Here is a quick overview of the movie from the internet:
Sensual and savage, Lorraine Broughton is the most elite spy in MI6, an agent who's willing to use all of her lethal skills to stay alive during an impossible mission. With the Berlin Wall about to fall, she travels into the heart of the city to retrieve a priceless dossier and take down a ruthless espionage ring. Once there, she teams up with an embedded station chief to navigate her way through the deadliest game of spies.
Since the movie is set during the time that events are taking place in East Berlin that ultimately result in the collapse of the Berlin Wall, the movie has a rather dark overwash to it. So that makes it seem even more sinister and deadly and cold.
