ATOMIC BLONDE B
A high stakes, global action thriller cenetered in the city of Berlin, on the eve of the Wall’s collapse. Charlize Theron (“Mad Max: Fury Road”) portrays Lorraine Broughton, a top level spy for MI6, who is sent to Berlin to take down a ruthless espionage ring that has just killed an undercover agent for reasons unknown. She is ordered to join with Berlin station Chief David Percival (James McAvoy of “X-Men”), and the two form an uneasy alliance, unleashing their full arsenal of skills in pursuing a threat that jeopardizes the West’s entire intelligence operation.
A lot of cool cinematography here with unique shades and hues to reflect different scenes to really make them pop along with some great 80s music. It’s nice to see a decent female spy lead her own espionage flick, like “Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation’s Rebecca Ferguson but with more screen time. John Wick codirector David Leitch’s boldly over the top “Atomic Blonde” is stuffed on plotting and heavy with neon lit visuals, but it will satisfy your craving for woman powered heroism.
There is no Bond humor here the film draws parallels to Angelina Jolie’s “Salt”. While “Atomic Blonde’s story is more “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy” than actually “Salt”
Allow the icy, unbeatable Charlize Theron and her “Fury Road” certified action chops to escort you through a maze of devious Cold War intrigues in a movie filled with high wire fights and high end fashion. John Goodman plays the CIA spook, James McAvoy and Sofia Boutella are involved in a love triangle with Charlize. All parties are after the Magoffin in this case a list.
Rated R for sequences of strong violence, language throughout, and some sexuality/nudity
I highly recommend this on VidAngel or ClearPlay it’s a very hard R film.
