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.

A good time - saved by spectacular fight scenes, a colourful cast of supporting characters, and a great lead in Theron.

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

Charlize Theron works furiously to bring some small weight to a character so feathery she barely manages to remain attached to the screen.

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.

3/5

Leitch’s film lacks zip, zilch, and zero in the style department.

2/4

The talented cast and formal technique feel trampled by the overstylized and undermotivated narrative.

A brutal, hyper-stylish action spectacle. The plot gets a little tangled, but Charlize Theron's incredible stunt work and the sheer energy of the film make it an absolute winner.

It is an amazing film with so much style. It has amazing stunts and nice cinematography with amazing production values. I like it a lot and I like the way it goes. At the end it is just a downer. I expected something more and more. It ended up a bit bad. But it is ok because the main thing is I enjoyed it. There are also too many deleted scenes. David Leitch direction is amazing 🔥 Charlize Theron is amazing too. She nailed her role and her acting wise is superb. I like that car chase singleshot scene. It is just amazing work. The whole action part with amazing style looks just amazing.

Wicked fun. A glimmer of hope, and proof that movies can still be made for an audience that has a brain, a pulse, a desire and hunger. Enjoy the she-wolf as she does her thing.

Old story line, just another version of angelina jolie type films and characters. What happened to creative story writing and film making. Films are retreads, dull and flat last few decades. Boring film.

Recently just rewatched this but I always love these type of movies with action killing cinematic fights like John Wick, Sisu and Lucy. This one is my #1 out of all these since it feels more grounded, realistic. Takes a lot of the female body's strengths into play and leans into the environment to help out with unwinnable fights. The male's are also not these hulk like figures. Everyone gets tired, just as a human body should. Story was okay but we know we're all here for the action, and it does it well. Def recommend. 1149

A much more serious tone would have benefited the movie. The way it is, one just can't get invested in it, good performances and great action notwithstanding.
