iariaIt was okay.
+ Great action sequences. The fights were brutal and realistic. Well-choreographed.
+ Lorraine was super competent which was enjoyable to watch.
+ The soundtrack was great and I loved the clothes.
+ Charlize was great and I liked McAvoy too.
+ Lorraine being Satchel was a nice twist that I didn't see coming but I’m not sold on the end reveal that she was a CIA mole/triple agent in MI6.
+ I was left confused by Percival's motivations. I spent most of the time assuming that he was Satchel, as you're meant to, but knowing he's not I was left looking back at his actions confused. Why did he set the German police on her at James apartment? This was before he saw the List so he doesn't know the truth about her. Delphine threatened him because she knew the truth about him - was he also a double agent? Was he just corrupt and working for whoever helped him?
+ I get the furor over Delphine’s death but in context it didn’t really bother me. She was a rookie in over her head who threatened a dangerous spy, plus she did get a couple damaging hits in and post-death left Lorraine the photos to help take him down. I wasn’t a fan of her being in her underwear, she should have been dressed to leave considering she was running, so that part did bother me but overall no.
