An adaptation of the graphic novel The Coldest City was announced in May 2015. Described by Variety as a "Passion Project" for Theron, she first came across the story five years prior, when her production company Denver and Delilah Productions was sent the then-unpublished graphic novel. Theron's interest in the first John Wick movie inspired her to get David Leitch, one of the directors, to helm the project. Leitch eventually left John Wick: Chapter 2 to direct the film. According to Theron, the success of Mad Max: Fury Road helped guide the development of Atomic Blonde. The film features a bisexual subplot that was not in the original book. This came from writer Kurt Johnstad, who suggested it after Theron was "thinking about how do you make this different from other spy movies". Leitch has insisted that the scenes are not there to be "provocative", but "more about if you are a spy you will do whatever it takes to get information" and how the main character "find[s] her intimacies and her friendships in small doses".

Litch hasn’t gotten the hang of it yet, there are a lot of shots of beautiful actresses that are useless, there are two action scenes that stick out: on the stairs and the very last one. Otherwise, I’m bored. It’s a shame for Boutella’s character. She’s beautiful and dumb. Even too much) I’m not a man, so I give it an honest 6)
A couple of lively action scenes. Stylish picture and music. Spectacular Theron (even in nude format). But the plot, of course, is so-so. And the production is weak. Nevertheless – 7
This is the second time I’ve watched this movie, and I still can’t get into the plot. Even its text description didn’t really help me understand what was happening on the screen. However, I liked the neon noir style, fight choreography and 80s music. Charlize Theron is good as a spy.
Pros: sound, visuals, Charlize. Cons: everything else. It’s okay for a one-time watch.
For one time, to be honest, I expected more, although the plot is twisted)
Elegant, desperate, feminine. Brutal action mixed with play on words, views, and ideologies. Ushanka, vodka, tovarisch included. Must see.
The plot is not about this film. But the music, pictures, costumes, action scenes – everything is at the proper level! What is the car chase on the check alone worth?!
I’m not familiar with the original comic, but I liked the film adaptation. Exciting and stylish spy action movie. Old lady Charlize crushes KGB agents to pieces. And the detective line is well twisted.
