I went to the movies for general amusement and to pass the time and the only thing that I hadn’t seen that was in the general realm of LL films was Atomic Blonde. Here’s another trailer.
Think of John Wick’s ex-wife…or something along that line. Which is to say that the film was made from a graphic novel and it’s far more film noir than it is anything close to a documentary. Sort of a female James Bond on steroids.
And if you expect me to be hyper critical, I’m not. I didn’t look at my watch once during the movie, which is a positive rating all on its own. It was entertaining and I didn’t go for realism here anymore than I was looking for realism in The Matrix.
I still maintain that Charlize Theron is the most beautiful woman in Hollywood today. I’m sure that she is a liberal and that I wouldn’t like her in person, but she has a screen presence.
I give Atomic Blonde 8 out of a possible 10. I was entertained.
Sounds like my kind of movie. If it's anything like your last recommendation that I went for ('Ex Machina'), then I am looking forward to viewing it. Charlize can play them all: from vicious skanks (2003 flick 'Monster') to her heroic character Furiosa in 'Mad Max: Fury Road. I like her gobs.
From the trailer and your recommendation I will try to see it.
Believe I'll wear my real fur jacket to the showhouse…
It's worth the price of admission to ogle her for two hours.
Carry the cattle prod too.
Good enough for me.
Looks like I might see three films in the theater this year. Average is one. Yes, one.

I read some website pushing the idea that she should replace Daniel Craig as the next James Bond, so it's interesting you thought of that.
I don't know about that. But she does a good job and as I said, the show entertained. I'd prefer Charlize Theron to Idris Elba, who I hear had the job.
I may see half a dozen in a year. I saw Dunkirk and absent a few history nerd complaints, enjoyed it. I read your review and you were spot on.
I think that you'll like it, Ed.
