Atomic Blonde Ratings & Reviews
- Philip RylesNovember 9, 2025Charlize Theron is amazing in this movie
- makdelartNovember 3, 2025This film is as cold as the sterile images, pompous dialogue and German language.
- RichardOctober 25, 2025Enjoyed it more than expected, nearly two hours gone before I even noticed. This one’s slick, stylish and unapologetically brutal. Charlize Theron owns every frame as Lorraine Broughton, a Cold War era MI6 agent who fights like John Wick and dresses like a Vogue assassin. The Berlin setting oozes neon noir and the soundtrack? Wall to wall bangers, Bowie, Depeche Mode, Nena each track hitting harder than the last punch. The plot’s a twisty spy maze, but it’s the vibe that carries it: long takes, bone crunching fights and a sense of cool that never feels forced. James McAvoy adds chaos, Sofia Boutella adds heat and the whole thing moves like a mixtape with bruises. Watched it, got pulled in and suddenly the credits rolled. That’s a win. The kind of film that earns a spot in the “stylish and savage” shelf and maybe a rewatch just for that stairwell scene.
- Juan Manuel ZavalaJuly 15, 2025Excellent spy movie, excellent soundtrack, sexy female lead that really kicks butt. Highly entertaining and worth a watch.
- Shaun McMillanOctober 11, 2025Very entertaining. Fast paced action spectacular
- jodyamAugust 26, 2025Beautifully written and filmed
- Knud KnudmandJune 23, 2025Fine story. Pay attention to detail. The usual violence.
- CallumDecember 31, 2024⭐⭐⭐½ – Atomic Blonde – Cold War cool with a killer soundtrack Atomic Blonde is slick, stylish, and a lot of fun — a spy thriller that earns its place without leaning on the Bond template. Set against the fractured backdrop of Berlin just before the Wall comes down, it uses that tension well, giving the film a sense of instability that matches its characters. Charlize Theron carries the movie effortlessly. She’s physical, bruised, and convincing in a way that sells the violence rather than glamorising it. The much-talked-about stairwell fight still stands out as a highlight — messy, exhausting, and refreshingly unpolished compared to the usual spy action fare. You feel every hit, which goes a long way toward grounding what could otherwise be pure style exercise. The soundtrack does a lot of heavy lifting, but in a good way. The ’80s needle drops aren’t subtle, yet they fit the mood perfectly and help define the film’s identity. Visually, it’s confident and striking, though sometimes that confidence tips into prioritising cool over clarity, especially when the plot starts folding in on itself. Overall, Atomic Blonde is a solid, entertaining spy film — stylish without being empty, brutal without being gratuitous. It doesn’t quite rise to the level of the genre’s best, but it’s well worth the ride, especially if you want espionage with a harder edge and a different face at the centre. 🥃 Pairing: A vodka martini — ice-cold, clean, and sharp enough to bite back. It matches Atomic Blonde’s frosty polish and sudden violence: smooth on the surface, brutal when it hits, and gone before you’ve fully decided how you feel about it.
