Review of Atomic Blonde (2017) by Moviemitch96 — 28 Jul 2017

A crazy, fun, if over-the-top romp. After her strong showcase as an action star in Mad Max: Fury Road, Charlize Theron once again proves that she's got what it takes to be tough as nails, and make it quite entertaining throughout! Like I said before, the action is fun and entertaining as hell often enough, but it's over-the-top energy left me having to suspend my disbelief more than a couple times, especially with characters that I felt should've died much easier than they did (seriously though, Charlize mercilessly beats a handful of men well over a dozen times with her fists, objects, etc.

during an impressive stairwell fight sequence, yet that STILL wasn't enough to kill them often times!) Aside from her, James McAvoy makes an often times worthwhile and humorous supporting turn. Overall, if insane mindless action that requires you to flip the off switch in your brain is your thing, then this is well worth checking out! Just don't go in expecting anything too mindblowing in terms of story or something too original.
