Atomic
Blonde is probably the best movie I'll see all year, which is
unfortunate since it's only February. It's directed by the same guy who
did John Wick, and it has a similar feel. It's
really a love letter to Charlize, Berlin, and a slick modern/future
version of the '80s. The action is solid, there are some inspired song
choices, and the cinematography is striking. I recommend seeing it on
the big screen if you can. I'm not a huge fan of Charlize Theron, but I don't think I've ever seen James McAvoy in a movie that I didn't like. And the action for Atomic Blonde looked like it would be cool. It turns out that it was directed by the same guy who did John Wick. I can see that.
The first 20 minutes of the movie are definitely the best. The first three songs that they play are great, the action is nice, it looks good overall, and the characters are interesting.
