The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
Hectic plot, somber history, surprising scenario, not bad .
My hubbie really hated this film. He even watched it several times to be sure. Then he was rewinding and reviewing a few specific parts over and over to be certain and doubly check. He confirmed that no matter how many times he watches it he hates it. Nope he cannot find a part he likes. That's a good man. He hates thin women. He always tell me he likes women with meat on their bodies. He likes women like Melissa McCarthy, Amy Schumer, Roseanne and of course ME! A real man, I told you.
ATOMIC BLONDE is a generally well-made and fine-looking Cold War action thriller, featuring a now-hot Charlize Theron in the titular role as a female agent modelled on James Bond. She indulges in some passionate sex and attempts to pick her way through a murky conspiracy, battling and beating up henchmen at every turn. The film was made by one of the JOHN WICK directors and features a string of violent set-pieces which possess good cinematography and choreography. My main complaint lies with the lazy soundtrack, which plays loud, '80s era pop songs over all of the big scenes. I love '80s music but it's done intrusively here and is a lazy way of transmitting emotion. The good news is that, towards the end of the film, there's a lengthy tracking-shot fight scene which dispenses with the music altogether and is the highlight of the movie, a violent and frenetic bit of filmmaking which is worth the admission alone. The film is guity of going through the motions a bit, but the action makes it a worthwhile watch.
This movie was a lot of fun. A late Cold War spy thriller. Well, as much action movie as thriller. Excellent work by Charlize Theron. Also excellent was Sofia Boutella in a smaller role. And close to stealing the show was James McAvoy. The well-choreographed and extremely violent fight scenes were very well done, if a bit over the top. But then again, apparently this film was made from a comic book.
