Universal Pictures has unveiled a new trailer for the upcoming actioner Atomic Blonde, and boy does this thing look brutal. Directed by John Wick co-director David Leitch—whose next project is helming Deadpool 2—the film stars Charlize Theron as a lethal MI6 assassin who is sent to Berlin to deliver a dossier, only to become caught up in a web of espionage and intrigue that’s as complex as it is deadly.

This new trailer is impeccably crafted, using a couple of perfectly selected popular tracks to drum along the action. I’ll say this: Atomic Blonde at least looks stunning, as Leitch and cinematographer Jonathan Sela have done a terrific job of putting together a cool, stylish aesthetic that accentuates the beauty of the stunt work here. Indeed, some of the reviews out of the film’s SXSW were mixed, singling out a “style over substance” problem, but I’m mighty curious to check this thing out myself. Lucy and Mad Max: Fury Road proved well and good that audiences will turn up for a female-driven action movie, so here’s hoping Atomic Blonde keeps that trend going.

Check out the new Atomic Blonde trailer below. The film also stars Sofia Boutella, James McAvoy, John Goodman, Eddie Marsan, and Toby Jones. Atomic Blonde opens in theaters on July 28th.

Here’s the official synopsis for Atomic Blonde:

Oscar® winner Charlize Theron explodes into summer in Atomic Blonde, a breakneck action-thriller that follows MI6’s most lethal assassin through a ticking time bomb of a city simmering with revolution and double-crossing hives of traitors.

 

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.

 

A blistering blend of sleek action, gritty sexuality and dazzling style, Atomic Blonde is directed by David Leitch (John Wick, upcoming Deadpool 2).  Also starring John Goodman, Til Schweiger, Eddie Marsan, Sofia Boutella and Toby Jones, the film is based on the Oni Press graphic novel “The Coldest City,” by Antony Johnston & illustrator Sam Hart.  Kurt Johnstad (300) wrote the screenplay.
