Is there anything cooler than a neon-soaked Charlize Theron kicking ass and taking names?

The Fate of the Furious and Mad Max: Fury Road star gets her best action showcase yet in Atomic Blonde, which shares some of the same slick style as John Wick – probably because it comes from John Wick co-director David Leitch.

But Lorraine Broughton is no John Wick. She's a bisexual British badass sent into Berlin by MI6 during the height of the Cold War.

Her mission is to retrieve a dossier of undercover agents. Along the way, Lorraine encounters friends and foes played by James McAvoy, John Goodman, Til Schweiger, Sofia Boutella, and more.

All this brutal action comes at a real-life price, though. At CinemaCon, Theron revealed it took not one, not two, but four root canals to fix the teeth she'd cracked doing stunts on the movie.

Here's hoping all that dental work proves worth it when Atomic Blonde lands in theaters July 28.
