Atomic Blonde Review

Some action movie directors don't know how to properly film an action sequence. The camera is too shaky or they use to many cuts and edits to try and blend the fight together. It's a big pet peeve of mine. Needless to say, the director of this film knows his s*&^! And that to me, made this movie so much better and enjoyable.

Set in the 80s, Charlize Theron's character is sent to Germany to find a "list" which is hidden inside a watch. But from the moment she touches down in Berlin, she has other assassins trying to kill her. Because this was set in the 80s, the music used in the film cater to the decade which was awesome.

Towards the end of the movie, there is a 7-10 minute action sequence that was one continuous shot. It was amazing to watch. One of my favorite sequences I've ever scene in an action movie. All the fight scenes were done perfectly. My only complaint with this movie was the end when there were one too many twists. But just a small complaint for what was a great action movie. A solid 8/10

Dunkirk Review

I never knew about the story of Dunkirk before the movie. Over 30000 troops are stranded on a beach as the enemy bombs them from the air time and time again. In this movie we follow 3 different stories that all intertwine together.

First are a few soldiers that start on the beach and are trying their best to get off it. The second is a father and son who set sail to go and help the men on the beach. And the third are a few pilots trying to counter the planes that are bombing the beach.

All the actors do a great job and I loved the cinematography. However, I think the hype that I heard about this movie let me down a bit. I felt it was a bit anti-climatic as well. I did enjoy how the 3 stories came together but other than that, my big expectations may have ruined it a bit for me. So while I enjoyed the movie, I wasn't blown away so I can only give it a 7/10
