Review of Atomic Blonde (2017) by Guy F — 29 Jul 2017
Do not believe these reviews. The plot is not convoluted, but intelligent with great twists. It is not feminist or political (left or right), but realistic. Hollywood race-baiting and politics stopped me from going to the movies. But this was more like 3 days of the condor or the first Bourne film. The acting is supreme with Charlize extra spectacular. I have not seen fight scenes this well executed since Braveheart (1995). She did all the moves, and mostly without the typical editing that can make any woman a wonder.
I only took a chance on this because of the 80's sound track. That was not as represented. More of a Bowie-Devo sound track and almost unnoticeable, well-placed, and not overpowering.
As far as it being hard to follow, it only starts out that way. The focus and clarity come 1/3 in, and the ending is extremely satisfying.
