Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.
it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.
One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
As the film opens, a battered and bruised woman, Lorraine (Charlize Theron) is telling her story to skeptical CIA officials, including Emmet (John Goodman). A few days ago, the Berlin Wall was about to come down, causing most people in the free world to rejoice. However, the undercover spies were in danger, for Britain and the USA had operatives which were believed loyal to the other side, Russia and the communists. There was a "list" of these folks which must not fall into enemy hands. Flashing Back, Britain sends its one-woman A-bomb, Lorraine, an expert in martial and "other" arts, to find the list first. She is to meet with the local chief spy, Percival (James McAvoy) and plan her next move. However, the limo which picks her up at the airport is not the correct one, being full of Russian-side agents. Using her high heels as weapons, Lorraine soon gets the Russkies dispatched. But, ho, someone has blown her cover already. Percival arrives to help her at the last moment and he brings her to temporary safety. Now, a new plan must be hatched, one that involves Percival, the "watchmaker", a beautiful French woman named Delphine and others. But, there is believed to be a supreme traitor among the spies which puts Lorraine and company is grave danger, from within and from without. Who will win ? Wow, Atomic Blonde is quite an intriguing film, made special by Theron whose beauty and lethal limbs make mincemeat of the enemy. The other cast members are quite fine, too, such as McAvoy, Goodman, Toby Jones, and more. The seedy underworld which Lorraine inhabits always has a television playing the joyous news of Berlin re-unification while spies are suffering. Quite a contrast. Beware, viewers, this is a very violent film, with some funny ironies, such as the "shoe" daggers and a spy getting hit with a refrigerator door. Therefore, its not a view for children AT ALL or any one who hates smash-em-up. Then, too, there is a gay story line some will not appreciate. But. for others, its a guilty pleasure indeed to see a female nuclear weapon do her stuff.
Why they made this movie? this is tha main question after you finished watching that garbage. A woman kills people and drink vodka and doing some lesbian and nothing more.
And bisexual sex.I love it. This is an adult-oriented film that fuses power, spycraft, intrigue and betrayal into one.Charlize in bed with another girl. Charlize evading a bomb and the Russians desperately using their network to death.One great film.
Hectic plot, somber history, surprising scenario, not bad .
