What to Know

Critics Consensus

Atomic Blonde gets enough mileage out of its stylish action sequences -- and ever-magnetic star -- to make up for a narrative that's somewhat less hard-hitting than its protagonist.

3/5
A good time - saved by spectacular fight scenes, a colourful cast of supporting characters, and a great lead in Theron. Go to Full Review

Even an actor as good as Theron can't turn a set of cynical commercial considerations into a character. Go to Full Review

Charlize Theron works furiously to bring some small weight to a character so feathery she barely manages to remain attached to the screen. Go to Full Review
Akhil Arora AkhilArora.com 05/11/2024
The fight on the staircase, a single take that lasts several minutes, is a particular highlight. It draws humour from the violence, too, and James McAvoy is having a ball as an unhinged operative. Go to Full Review

Corey C @USNUnicorn22 4d Especially being a US Navy Veteran, I absolutely love this movie every time I see it. Not just visually, but the story itself is VIVID; it is full of hilarity as well. I'm probably about to watch it again right now! 😃 See more Ben N @Bneffer Jan 19 This is a well produced, thoughtfully constructed action movie with a unique vibe. This is executed to a T, and despite the need to suspend disbelief that this small figure is taking so much abuse, overall I like the film very much. it rewards paying attention to the plot, unlike most action movies/thillers these days. It is dripping with theme. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Jan 11 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Dec 14 Atomic Blonde is a slick, brutal action thriller that thrives on style, atmosphere, and physical intensity. From the opening moments, the film establishes a cold, gritty tone that suits its espionage setting. The action sequences are the standout, featuring long takes and punishing choreography that make every punch feel earned. These scenes pull the audience into the chaos rather than relying on spectacle. Charlize Theron delivers a commanding performance, fully committing to the role physically and emotionally. She anchors the film even when the narrative becomes tangled, while the supporting cast builds paranoia. Visually, the film is striking, using neon lighting, sharp editing, and a pulsing soundtrack to create a strong identity. The screenplay is where the film stumbles. Its complex structure and twists feel convoluted and undercut emotional impact. Still, Atomic Blonde succeeds as an engaging experience with memorable action and confident style, making it enjoyable. Overall.! See more Arlen B. @Arlen170 Dec 3 I’m a big Charlize Theron fan. She’s great in this movie. Not the strongest story but still had some twists. Strong action. See more Leprechaun K @LeprechaunKing Nov 25 This was meant to be the female version of John Wick. Action scenes are good and Theron clearly performed most of her own stunts. Overall, the storyline just wasn't that interesting. See more Read all reviews
