About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a dark, gritty Cold War spy ride with plenty of action and a sleek 80s atmosphere; Not for you if you need deep, suspenseful plotting or character connection, like many viewers who felt it missed more substance than “Atomic Blonde” can provide.

Pros: stylish cold war vibe; non-stop spy thrills; great lead performance | Cons: style over substance; tense moments lacking; some pacing issues
