I've watched "Atomic Blonde" and now I hasten to share with you my opinion.
I can not say that I went to the cinema because of an interesting plot. Charlize Theron attracted me. She had a lot of diverse roles. Charlize played both romantic roles and killers. She acts well and calm roles and dramatic. But as an actress No. 1 she became for me after the role in Mad Max: Fury Road. The film title is Mad Max, but I think it should be named Mad Furiosa. She was so organic and perfect starring as Furiosa!
Possessing such a classical beauty, she is absolutely not afraid to let herself be ruined. Mad Max is not the first film in which she completely changes, and, far from the best. But she goes crazy and baldness, and prosthesis. Her image is one-piece and does not fall apart.
I need to stop complimenting her.)))) Ok, let's back to Atomic Blonde.
David Leitch is the director of Atomic Blonde. You may know his movies such as John Wick and Deadpool.
Lorraine Broughton is a super duper secret agent. She is hot as hell and dangerous as a wild animal. Her mission is impossible but she'll be helped by one more super duper secret agent - David Percival (starring James McAvoy).
What did I immediately notice? Classic action movies are back! Bloodshed, profanity, hot sex, fights. The creators of the film perfectly conveyed the atmosphere of those times. Film noir, hairstyles, cars, music and clothes - it all came out very cool! With such a low budget, they managed to shoot an excellent action movie with many interesting details.
The film was boring sometimes, but the sex scenes corrected everything))).
Sofia Boutella seems starring everywhere! I see her in each movie. I'm really getting tired of her.
I was glad to hear Soviet music, Russian speech (although very mediocre). I liked the pink-neon shade of the film, an abundance of beautiful scenes. But here's the only negative thing - I think it's not the correct role for Charlize Theron because she does not have such a strong charisma. Inspired by the success of the film John Wick, the director wanted to make such a great action movie, but with a woman in the title role. Now I do not even know who could have come to this role. Charlize fights well, she is spectacular and all that, but it's not enough. The bed scenes went much better than the spy component of the movie. Creators do not pay attention to important trifles: conspiracy, appearance, passwords and the influence of special services on the development of events in Berlin. It would be the most interesting.
But anyway. It's a good movie. The staging of battles, the choreography performed remarkably. Bones break under crazy soundtracks. And the main character is vulnerable and you constantly worry about her.
