Review of Atomic Blonde (2017) by Creeper3455 — 16 Aug 2017
David Leitch,from making incredible small-budget movies like John Wick,makes an impressive directorial debut with Atomic Blonde (AKA his first big-budget movie. Step aside,Deadpool 2). Let's start with the story.
It's about someone trying to stop some plans that could prevent World War III. Basically something we already saw a million times that gets organized in a weird way possible,because it feels like the director wanted to focus more on the action set pieces (which are crafted beautifully) than setting up the story.
Other than that,not only is the action great,but there are also some scenes that would make 50 Shades look like if it was nothing (wait...IT IS!). Both the imagery and the music (composed by Guardians Of The Galaxy's Tyler Bates) are probably the only things that wanted to give this movie an '40/'50-esque look,since the book it's based on is set in the '40s.
As always,Charlize Theron kicks a lot of asses this time (not like last time,when she had to walk everywhere in Fast 8),and makes those months of hard work on the stunts remarkable (95% of the movie was Theron making impressive stunts),and the rest of the acting is good.
There's a scene in this movie (that I won't spoil) where I thought:"This is the Split Vs. The Mummy we never asked for,but that it's done in the most remarkable way possible. In the end,Atomic Blonde may suffer from a lazily weird story,but manages to save itself with some good acting and magnificent action.
