Atomic Blonde Film Review

Finished watching Atomic Blonde, directed by David Leitch, and starring Sam Hargrave, Charlize Theron, Toby Jones, John Goodman and James McAvoy. The film opens with the murder of British spy James Gasciogne (Sam Hargrave) in Berlin as the film jumps ten days later as spy Lorraine Broughton (Charlize Theron) who has been called to be questioned her superior Eric Gray (Toby Jones) is joined by CIA agent Emmett Kurzfeld (John Goodman) as the two question Lorraine on the events that transpired in Berlin. While in Berlin Lorraine meets with her contact David Percival (James McAvoy) after dealing with a couple of KGB agents in hope to compete Gasciogne's mission and discover who betrayed him. Overall this was a good film as it as it brings the look and feel of 1989 extremely well thanks to how the music and aesthetic of the time period plays a part within the film. The action set pieces are great, from the car chase to the amazingly choreographed hand to hand fights with one fight seemingly being done in one whole continuous shot.  7/10
