After the murder of an agent James Gascoine on a mission in Berlin, an MI6 agent Lorraine Broughton(Charlize Theron) was sent to retrieve information, a list containing the names of every intelligence agent and all their shady deals active in berlin. It's an atomic bomb of information that can extend the cold war for another 40 years. It was revealed that a KGB agent, Yuri Bakhti (Johannes Haukur) killed Gascoine and collected the list, which is a piece of microfilm concealed in a wristwach. Lorraine's mission is to connect with David Percival (James Mcavoy) an MI6 agent in Berlin and collect the list and kill Satchel, a double agent whom sold information to the Soviets for years and who betrayed Gascoine.
On getting to Berlin, Lorraine met with Percival after being ambushed by KGB agents working for Aleksander Bremovich, a KGB associate and arms dealer. She went to Gascoine's apartment to find the list but she was attacked by the police and that made her to suspect Percival as he was the only one that knew that she went there. After she found out that Percival was tracking her, she decided to make new contacts, including having a romantic relationship with Delphine (Sofia Boutella) a naive French agent. Meanwhile Percival attacked Yurig, the man that killed Gascoine and collected the list for himself. Percival met Aleksander and offered to transport the list to him, then he told Lorraine that Spyglass (Eddie Marsan), the agent that compiled the list memorized the whole list and they should transport him and his family to the West, Lorraine didn't know that he arranged with Aleksander and so she agreed. On their way, Percival tipped Aleksander after shooting Spyglass. With the help of Delphine, Lorraine discovers Percival's plot and killed him, collecting the list from him.
Lorraine returned to MI6, and presented them with evidence that shows Percival's actions and implicating him to be Satchel, the double agent but she told them she didn't know the whereabouts of the list. MI6 was forced to close the case. It was revealed later that Lorraine is Satchel as she was seen with Aleksander in Paris. But she killed him after his men attacked her and we see her handing the list over to the CIA agent that was present in her briefing revealing her as a triple agent.

CRUDE/PROFANE LANGUAGE Words like Cock sucker and ass were used. The f- word was used 25 times.
OTHER NEGATIVE ELEMENTS The MI6 didn't care about it's workers, they risk their agents lives by sending them to do their dirty work at the expense of their lives. Lorraine herself is not faithful, she is a triple agent and then she lied that Percival is Satchel after killing him. Everyone lies and kills to protect themselves.
CONCLUSION Atomic blonde surely lived up to it's name in this action movie. The cuts, the gunshots, the stabs, the fighting skills will leave lovers of action movies in awe. Leitch have succeeded in keeping the viewers busy with analysing the plot twists and mystery in this film. It's also heartening to see Theron taking punches, collecting bruises, and still getting back up on her feet, she's no Wonder Woman, but she's still pretty awesome. Atomic Blonde just shows that a woman can fit into James Bond shoes.
I will give Atomic Blonde 8/10.
