Our Review Published August 11, 2017

John Wick co-director David Leitch is already best known as the director of next year’s Deadpool sequel. But before taking on the Merc with a Mouth Leitch directed a different comic book adaptation: Atomic Blonde, based on the graphic novel The Coldest City. Starring Charlize Theron, Blonde looked to be a female John Wick. Does this ’80s period-piece pack the punch of the Wick films? Listen to this bonus episode of Now Playing Podcast to find out!
