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.

I really dug this, but whoever is responsible for making the trailers can go F*%k THEMSELVES!
As I rate this review, I'm battling how much I enjoyed the film and thinking about how much more I would of if I didn't see the trailer! Every action scene is shown. You could seriously piece a skeleton of the movie from the trailer.
That aside.... this movie is beautiful. Visually every second this neon lit movie is mesmerizing to the eyes. The soundtrack is on point and the action is brutal. Charlize Theron is one of the hottest 41 year olds out there! She completely sell the part and looks great doing it. Oh yeah and here chemistry with Soufia Boutella, huge fucking plus! This movie also solidified how great of an actor James McAvoy is.
The negatives I have is that I wasn't a fan of the framework this movie is told in. I don't like that all the action has already happen and it's unfolded in a integration room. The locations jump around too much in the beginning and can see people easily getting lost in who's working for who and who's side their on.
I know that when I watch this when it comes out on bluray I'll enjoy it even more. That'll give plenty of time to get over the trailers.
