The Mikes are going back to 1980's Germany during the fall of the Berlin Wall to do some spy stuff with Charlize Theron in 2017's Atomic Blonde.

Directed by David Leitch of John Wick fame, this film also stars James McAvoy as a partner/foil for Theron's deadly agent, as East and West Berlin spies race to find a secret list of undercover agents and find the identity of a double agent working against them. The film also stars, Sofia Boutella, John Goodman, Toby Jones, and Bill Skarsgård.

Mike Butler and Mike Field discuss what makes the action in this film great, but also some of the design, lighting, and directing choices that take away from the film and stop it from elevating to the ranks of more popular spy films the likes of Bourne or Bond. But the Mikes do agree that the stunt work, the music, the setting, and Charlize all kick ass; enough for us to want an Atomic Blonde 2.

So, grab your popcorn and soda, please notice the exits to the left and right of you and settle down for Forgotten Cinema.
