Charlize Theron is Lorraine Broughton, an MI6 agent sent into East Berlin at the height of the Cold War to retrieve a "list" of undercover agents that must not get into the wrong hands. Once there, she must work with her contact David Percival (James McAvoy), an agent who may have been embedded in East Berlin just a little too long. Not sure who to trust, she uses every skill necessary to retrieve the list and stay alive. Set against the fall of the Berlin Wall, this tale of East vs. West, spy vs. spy, keeps Lorraine on her toes, hoping that she can best the Russians and any other interests and get the list out of Berlin before it is too late.

This is a wild movie. It is fast paced and full of action. Charlize Theron is feral, smart and beautiful. She does an amazing job. Her fighting skills are incredible. There are a few plot holes but overall, the story is entertaining and definitely keeps your interest. There are double crosses and triple crosses - some of which you see coming and some that are nice surprises. The choreographed fight scenes are amazing and you won't get bored. A nice summer movie that keeps you on your toes until the end. Go see it.
