Based on the graphic novel The Coldest City, Atomic Blonde is the first solo directorial outing by "John Wick" co-helmsman David Leitch. The combination of the filmmaker?s prowess with action and Charlize Theron?s standing as one of the premier female action stars (especially after her turn in "Mad Max: Fury Road") excited many with the prospect of ?Jane Wick,? albeit a story told in the world of espionage instead of underground crime. The end result is something of a mixed bag.
