Atomic Blonde (PG) ***
Hit Lass!
Out to capture the macho crowd is one feisty lady. My, oh my, does
Charlize Theron shine bright in Atomic Blonde. Looks like Universal
Studios could well have a franchise in the making. Move in down to
any Cineplex Theatre around B.C. To see what all the fuss is about.
Consider Atomic. Loved to be perfect summertime fare. Popcorn
voyeurism never felt better as Theron stars as a tough-as-nails veteran
MI6 agent. Trouble follows this lady every step of the way as she flies
off to Berlin at the height of the Cold War.
Dispatched to investigate the death of a colleague agent, Lori
Broughton gets mired in Cold War intrigue. Aided by a local colleague
called David Percival, the pair becomes embroiled in a deadly cat and
mouse game with deadly eastern bloc baddies.
Clever writing and a superb atmosphere at the time of the falling
of the Berlin Wall heighten the contagious impact of this hard-hitting
atmosphere. Quite simply, Theron dazzles as the agent on the loose
while James McCavoy equally sizzles as her colleague in arms. No
doubt, audiences will get hit and bothered with this pleasing espionage
encounter that is full value for your entertainment dollar. ●
