Darkest Hour
It was the darkest hour in the history of England — and it would turn out to be their finest. Led by Prime Minister Winston Churchill, the UK was staring down the barrel of Nazi Germany. Under pressure to make a peace deal that would turn the country into a German puppet state, Churchill refused and spurred Britain to fight back. An unrecognizable Gary Oldman stars as Winston Churchill in Darkest Hour, coming to theaters November 22, 2017.

Atomic Blonde Fight Training

More impressive than that, she did all of the stunts herself.
