25 Most Hotly Anticipated Movies Of Summer 2017 - Ranked

8. Atomic Blonde

Atomic Blonde
Focus Features

Release Date: July 28th

Billed As: John Wick with an ass-kicking spy heroine, set in the days before the fall of the Berlin Wall. Needless to say, it's violent.

Hype: Atomic Blonde has already been seen thanks to the festival circuit, and critics have given it a not unreasonable 76% on RottenTomatoes, which is still pretty remarkable for a chest-thumping actioner in 2017.

After her scene-stealing performance as Furiosa in Mad Max: Fury Road, Charlize Theron doing more action is a great choice, and teaming her up with John Wick's David Leitch means she has the guidance of a visionary well-suited to intense action. Expect it to very violent, obviously, and look out for a one-take fight sequence that is being widely acclaimed as one of the best ever.
