The film is set in the turmoil on both sides of the Berlin Wall before the end of the Cold War. In 1989, the "Berlin Wall" faced the fate of dismantling, but this was also the darkest moment, and various assassinations occurred from time to time. An underground MI6 officer was assassinated in Berlin. He had a list of spies brought back from the GDR, but the killer was never found on him. An agent named Lorraine Broughton (Theron) is tasked with retrieving this list of spies.
When it comes to female agents, the first thing everyone thinks of must be Angelina Jolie, "Agent Short", "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", etc... Her image of an agent has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
But our Queen Theron is in no way inferior to Julie in this film.
Not only the muscles in the back and the hot body, but also the one-to-many fight scenes are also decisive and ruthless. No wonder the Hong Kong translation of the film is called "Atomic Killing Ji".
The film uses a lot of late 1980s pop music to render the atmosphere, showing the East and West Germany in that special era.
Play soothing music during intense fights, and fast-paced music during leisurely walks. When KGB Lao Maozi interrogated his subordinates, the scene of beating up his subordinates actually played the anti-war song "99 Luftballoons" by the German band Nena.
These seemingly ridiculous soundtracks actually reflect the undercurrents surging under this extremely cold city during the Cold War, and it is refreshing to show them.
There are also some flaws in the whole film, such as the loose plot and the lack of clarity of multiple narrative lines.
But the flaws do not hide the good, just the fight of Queen Theron is enough to feast your eyes on, not to mention the good looks of "One Beauty" James McAvoy and "Blade Girl" Sophia are there, and even come with Several "Theron Fashion Shows" with different shapes!
