Overall it is a very good Cold War spy movie.
1. The timing of the story is just right, a few weeks before the fall of the Berlin Wall, a major event that will not be too unfamiliar to most young audiences.
2. The suspenseful color of the story can be said to be interlocking and fascinating.
3. The film adopts the mode of alternating literary and martial arts. Literary play refers to the self-report of the heroine when she is being interrogated. This is true and false, false and true, which seems boring at first glance, but with the continuous reversal of the ending of the film, it can be said that the connotation of the film is further improved. The martial arts drama is the most outstanding part, especially the long-shot fight in the later part of the film, which is cruel and bloody, making people shudder when they recall the era of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union.
4. The interpretation of the male and female protagonists is very good. Theron, in particular, thought the film would be a low-budget, dull Cold War movie, but thanks to her brilliant performance, the film really feels like a blockbuster. And Theron also contracted most of the highlights in the movie.
