The crown jewel of Her Majesty's Secret Intelligence Service, Agent Lorraine Broughton (Theron) is equal parts spycraft, sensuality and savagery, willing to deploy any of her skills to stay alive on her impossible mission. Sent alone into Berlin to deliver a priceless dossier out of the destabilized city, she partners with embedded station chief David Percival (James McAvoy) to navigate her way through the deadliest game of spies. —Focus Features

Trivia
Charlize Theron had eight personal trainers to help her master her intensely physical performance. She also trained with Keanu Reeves, who was preparing for John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017).

Goofs
In the underground station before entering East-Berlin, West-German custom officers were shown checking papers of travellers into the east. This is wrong in two aspects. First, West-Germany regarded East-Germany as a part of the still existing Germany. Border checks would have given the impression that there are two individual states, something any West-German government (left or right) avoided like a plague. Second, all underground stations that featured a border crossing, were located in East-Berlin. West-Berlin officials would have never been allowed there.

Quotes
David Percival: You can't un-fuck what's been fucked. You know, a beautiful Italian girl once said to me, "David, you can't unfuck what's been fucked." Women are always getting in the way of progress, aren't they?

Crazy credits
There is a credit for "Best Camera Trainee Ever."

Alternate versions
The lesbian scenes were cut from the Arab version release.

Exaggerated Positive Ratings

So many reviews here claim this film is full of violence and bi girls getting it on but the truth is different. There is violence but not all the time and there is a little non-graphic girl on girl but they are very short and not at all explicit. Therefore only 7/10. They would have to go all the way in the sequel if they want a higher rating from me, but we all know sequels are worse than their prequels so don't hold much hope.
