It started out fun, and Charlize Theron is always a great watch, but this got pretty boring, about halfway thru. Come on, dudes, you can do better, so please, TRY.

Beginning bath shows muscular. Action. Bonuses and commentary.

Atomic Blonde is the suspense driven thriller story of an MI6 operative sent to Berlin during the Cold War to investigate the death of her colleague and chase after a mysterious List that could cause a war to break out. I enjoyed this…

A bunch of covert agents double-cross, triple-cross and quadruple-cross each other in late '80s Berlin set to synth-pop music of the time.

A rather good movie. Plenty of twists you won't see coming.

Charlize Theron is quite impressive in this film...she does her own stunts. There is one 10 minute fight sequence that is filmed in one "take"....wow! The ending is a surprise too. I hope they do a sequel.

This is a fantastic movie for anyone who is looking for a good action spy thriller. The soundtrack is incredible, the choreography makes Jason Bourne look dull, and the cinematography is stellar. This might be my favorite spy thriller, and…

Strength: nice to see a woman kick so much ass with people underestimating her and as good of a spy movie as any of the James Bond ones. Cool East block Germany era near the end of the cold war. The actual bruises. Weakness: it's kind of a…

Enjoyed her kick butt attitude and scenes. Story was ok.

Some truly great fight sequences and a good looking film overall, but overly serious and gets a bit dull in places. Still, if you're OK with style over faux-substance, it's a good ride.

just another example of "contemporary entertainment". Predictable. Pure techno-fantasy with a heavy dose of lesbian adoration, continuous and incessant (did I mention an overdose of) obnoxious smoking, and a blatant advert for Stoli…

I finally watched this due to the awesome soundtrack, and James McAvoy. The story is about a female agent who is sent to checkout if there is a traitor in MI6, and track down a inconveniently missing list of double agents. She is a cool…

Do you like cold war intrigue, danger, and double crosses? Everyone's a spy with lots of secrets. Do you like high-octane, pulse-pounding, brutal, spectacular action scenes. Well, it's got those too.

I finally got around to watching this after having this for so long. It's basically like the flipside to the James Bond films. While it does have it's elegant settings, much of the films takes place in the gritty underbelly of Cold War…

99- out-of-100 Luftballons. That doesn't mean owls. It means balloons. Like, what you have at a birthday party. Not Charlie Sheen's birthday party. Your kid's. Not my kid's.

"Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" The Berlin Wall Speech is a great moment in history, and I was glad to see it included here.

Extra points for Theron doing all her own fight scenes!

So tiresome. Always nice to look at Theron--that body still holds up--but story is silly and talented actors wasted in banal roles.

The action is good, the intrigue a little too boilerplate. Theron is beautiful to watch and listen to. All in all a workmanlike job that fills up a rainy Saturday.

This movie is a slog. It reminded me of my experience watching movies as a little kid, where I could appreciate the action and vaguely knew who was supposed to be good or bad and could sense the peril that people may have been in, but had…

Kick ass movie, great rendition of the comic book heroine. She is a master spy , always a good 4 or 5 steps ahead of all the other sharks in this spy game.

movie would have been more engaging if the acting was more to the plot instead of substituting that with the violence. the intrigue was weak but would have been stronger by for instance showing more detail meetings with satchel and his…

Charlize was great, the action was creative and intense, the plot was garbage.
