Based on a comics series called "The Coldest City", this action-thriller is set in Berlin in 1989 just when the Berlin Wall, a symbol of oppression and division, is about to fall. Spies working for the Americans, the Russians and the British are all after a wristwatch that contains the names of all active undercover agents from both the East and West.

Lorraine is supposed to work with another British agent in Berlin, Percival (James McAvoy), who, unknown to her, has his own ulterior motives. Lorraine is immediately kidnapped upon her arrival in Berlin, starting a series of savage fight scenes. The story is told mostly in flashbacks, while Lorraine is being interviewed in a debriefing, after accomplishing her mission, by her M16 boss who's behind a two-way mirror (James Faulkner) and his deputy (Toby Jones) with a CIA representative (John Goodman.) Don't leave the theater after the interview with Lorraine because there is an epilogue where more surprising revelations come up.


She is also shown in a hot lesbian love scene with a neophyte French spy, Delphine (Sofia Boutella of "The Mummy"), something you can't expect in a male lead, having a same-sex love scene in a big-budgeted action flick like this. In several ultra-violent breathtaking hand-to-hand, expertly choreographed fight scenes, Charlize is seen punching and kicking her opponents, using her stilettos and other utensils as deadly weapons and also shooting it out with an entire army of bad guys. It's obvious she does all her bone-crunching stunts without a double and we're sure she somehow got hurt in performing them. Her Lorraine will now be as memorable as Sigourney Weaver's Ripley and Linda Hamilton's Sarah Connor.
