Rated Atomic Blonde 8/10

I'm a real sucker for high styling and good fight choreography, and this really hit the spot for me. Pink and blue neon lighting contrasted beautifully with Berlin's stoic architecture and the fight scenes were uncompromising and brutal, culminating in a 10 minute single shot climax which was no less impressive for being a fake. Downsides; the obvious needle drops distract you like a hit from a two-ring hotplate, and the never ending double crosses ended up being a bit of a mess. Despite this I had an absolute blast with Atomic Blonde. Charlize Theron's transformation to Action Hero has been impressive, and I can't wait to see her next project...and also what is in store for this particular character in the future.
