Reply to comment by AliceTheMagicQueen in Paramount Sets 1980s Action Thriller ‘Bella’ With Samara Weaving by AliceTheMagicQueen

I've seen almost exactly the same words used to describe Atomic Blonde - though they didn't mention New York City, of course.
I'm not trying to poopoo this film, after 6cream I'm really interested in Samara Weaving getting more roles and will see this one when I can, that just feels like a weird way to describe the film.
Also, unrelated, the mention of 300's revenue shocked me so i had to look it up. The second one made $337.6 million! For the longterm meme value and continued presence of the first film, i'm kind of surprised the second made so much money when it didn't seem to have much of a 'cultural impact', as critics say.

I've wanted to see more of her since Ready or Not. She was fantastic in that film.

She's in Guns Akimbo which I can recommend. She's also in Mayhem.

She was also in Babylon. The one that didn't fight a snake.

I thought that movie was only okay but the ending scene when the sun rises is one of the funniest things I've ever seen in a movie. It was worth the watch just for that. I agree that she did a great job with her part.

Same producer as atomic blonde and atomic blonde was good so not much of a worry to me

Agreed! I'd kill for an Atomic Blonde sequel but i think I can be happy with this instead/until then.

I believe they’re still writing a sequel for Netflix. https://collider.com/charlize-theron-atomic-blonde-2-update/

Sounds more like a gender flipped Maniac Cop to me, plus Weaving kinda already did notes of this as her Slayer-loving character in Mayhem

Mayhem absolutely fucking ruled and I'm glad I'm not the only person who watched it.
