Watched "Atomic Blonde" recently. Pretty good, but a minute into the Hotel

fight scene, I found myself saying "wait, has there been a cut yet?" and then I started looking for it.

I started to notice it when she left the guy who'd been shot on the steps and went into the elevator...but the camera followed her into the elevator, and then back out. Rare to see that, so I started looking for a tracking shot.

I found 1 or 2 points where they could have used some tricky editing to make a cut, but for the most part, geez, yes, all one shot.

Googled it this morning, and confirmed it. 8 minute scene that was MOSTLY just 1 shot. See link
