The new Charlize Theron movie, "Atomic Blonde," is a fast-moving spy adventure with plenty of hand to hand combat in almost every scene. Theron's character is a British agent sent into East Berlin five days before the fall of the Berlin Wall. Her mission is to retrieve a list containing the names of British agents that have been compromised, and also ferret out who among the names is the double agent that has been causing problems for British intelligence.
As I mentioned there is a fight scene almost every couple of minutes with Charlize Theron. If she opens the door there is a fight scene. If she walks down the stairs there is another fight scene. If she gets into a car there is another fight scene and probably a car chase. This keeps the movie rocking even though after a while you start to wonder how it can be humanly possible for someone to take as much punishment as her character does and still be standing up by the end of the film.
Helping to keep the rocking going along is the rocking(depressing?) 80's soundtrack. The music used has an undertone of dismalness and bleakness as sung by groups such as New Order, David Bowie and even After The Fire with their hit from the 80's "Der Kommissar" which plays perfectly into this movie. Amazingly, Flock of Seagulls, who have never gotten much respect musically, have snuck another song onto another soundtrack. Earlier this month they had a song on the soundtrack of "Spider-Man: Homecoming."
Charlize Theron's character even has time for some girl on girl action with the actress Sofia Boutella, who recently starred in the movie "The Mummy" with Tom Cruise. So, yes, there is some female nudity, and no male nudity in this movie.
The movie's overall hue, to show the darkness of East Berlin, is that quasi gray bluish tint that sometimes as used in scary movies.
This movie will keep your attention though sometimes it gets complicated in the aspect of who is the double agent and who can be trusted in this film about spy vs spy.
Atomic blonde is worth viewing.
