Review of Atomic Blonde (2017) by Msjayhawk — 17 Nov 2022
Incredible Movie and Writing. Plot twists galore. The story is incredibly complex and the soundtrack is pure gold from the time they were tearing the Berlin wall down.
This movie would have been up for an Oscar or few if it came out before smartphones.
No less than 9 plot twists occur visually during musical sections with the camera following the characters. Who was in the shadows, watching two of the other characters scheme... Noticing a Russian Agent in the back of the bar while our heroine is meeting with a clandestine British Agent... Noticing that the junior British Agent is not really working for the senior British Agent, but the heroine... Noticing that the French Agent is following the heroine at the beginning of the movie, though she is not introduced in the movie verbally until almost half way through.
So many people missed all of the actual plot, like a John Le Carre Novel, and only saw it as an action movie with spies, rather than a spy movie with action.
