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
