Atomic Blonde

Looks and sounds awesome on 4K. The picture is very nice, it’s not a huge improvement over the older blu-ray, but that’s because the older blu-ray had a good transfer. There is more detail and the neon colors look fantastic. The Dolby Atmos track is REALLY good, the classic 80’s tunes soundtrack rocks, and the surrounds are used to great effect in the “umbrella” scene and all the action at the films climax. If you’re a fan of the movie, this is the version you want!

I hadn't thought he filled a large role, and I was right. However, HE STEALS EVERY SCENE and gives a top notch performance, as usual. Did not care for the movie otherwise. Too convoluted as opposed to a few surprise twists. You can't be too put off by violence now days or you cut your movie options in half, but I tired quickly of it here. Not a Charlize fan with all her steely repression. Use Netflix and absorb McAvoy's genius.

When my wife suggested that we watch this I was relieved because I wanted to watch it but was worried that I would find it enjoyable midway through the movie. With her suggestion, I felt there were good odds that at least one of us would like it and we both ended up loving it! I feel like the studio must not have marketed this movie up to its potential because I was blown away by how perfectly the late 80s atmosphere was captured. It felt and sounded like an 80s movie, but the visuals were definitely modern. There were so many scenes were it seemed like things were shot with minimal cuts involved. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys action, intrigue, collapsing walls, neon, and perfectly timed 80s music.

This post cold-war spy thriller is just flat out rockin'. Ms. T does all her own stunts, the fight scenes were so brutal and well done that I had to take a nap afterwords due to exhaustion. And Sofia Boutella? Uh...wow. THe movie has a good, albeit simple plot, but the action more than makes up for it. Right up there along with SALT and Red Sparrow (which I thought was outstanding, despite the shitty reviews. Who are those guys, anyway?) Anyway, watch this one for sure, on an indoor date night, because after seeing the stunning Ms. T and Sofia together? Yeah, you'll be ready. LOL. Seriously, great spy thriller.

Charlize Theron and James Mcavoy both turn in stellar performances in Atomic Blonde. The fight choreography in this movie is top notch, rivaling a number of the best action movies out there, and the camera work is nothing short of amazing. That said, the audio quality sucks, to the extent that there were many times that my family and I either could not hear or understand the dialogue, and that is with our sound at 100%. Of the supporting characters, John Goodman is excellent. However, remove the acting talents of Theron, Mcavoy and Goodman, and this would be a two star movie at best.

Excellent movie; action-packed, well worth the $3.99. Having had, I usually find it hard to believe some female actresses in this type of role (like the females Keri Russell in "Americans" or Angelina Jolie in "Salt") and usually change the channel (yawn!), however, ATOMIC BLONDE does a believable job as a female 80s Borne-type. Great 80s soundtrack, with a German twist and nice kick at the end of the movie. James McAvoy does a good job, even if he thinks he's too short to get regular acting roles. Film falls in the "John Wick" genre but better acting. Not a family film.

If you're wanting to see action movies with hot women spies then check out... Salt (with Angelina Jolie).... the tv series Alias (Jennifer Garner)... tv series La Femme Nikita (1997-2001).... then the reboot of that series, called Nikita (2010-2013)... the tv series Revenge.... and the movie Mr & Mrs Smith (Angelina Jolie).The movie Atomic Blonde is waaaay action packed, but the movie is mediocre at best. But if after a hard day at work you need to veg out and mindless watch blond spies kick a*ss, Atomic Blind will do the trick!

Personally, I like this movie, although some with short attention spans may have difficulty in following the plot line. It does not plod. This particular purchase is intended as a gift for someone that enjoys these kind of movies. It is intense--exciting--twisty in some ways and if you like good fight scenes...I mean REALLY good fight scenes, the movie is worth the cost for that alone. Clever? You be the judge.

If you're old enough to remember the Berlin Wall, Ronald Reagan, and the Cold War; you'll appreciate this movie. Forget the critics and focus on the the cast and believe me; they deliver. James McAvoy delivers a stellar performance and some of the greatest lines in the film. One thing I've always hated was films that were predictable. This one is minute by minute surprise and suspense and Charlize Theron delivers an overwhelming performance that had me on the edge of my seat through the entire film. Unless you're familiar with the story, the ending will surprise you even more. Enjoyed every second of this film and not just because Charlize is my favorite actor and Hollywood crush, but because it's just damn good. Watch it.

GREAT MOVIE.
