I saw it last night. I thought it was entertaining. Charlize Theron, what's not to love about her. Also, James McAvoy brings something to the table as well as John Goodman and a couple of the other actors. And even though I wasn't a huge fan of 80s music in the 80s, I seem to enjoy it now so I thought the soundtrack was good. It's not a deep movie or anything, but more like a female Bourne set in cold war Berlin with all of the spy stuff that would entail (including a lesbian sex scene). Good stuff.

If you dig late 80s music, I think you'll like the soundtrack.

I've read that the critics complained about the pacing and some of the writing, and my son said the first twenty minutes seemed a little slow to him. I'd like to see it again.





According to Wikipedia, Charlize Theron trained pretty hard for the action.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_Blonde#Production

To prepare for the role, Theron worked with eight personal trainers, who "basically made [her] puke every single day." During the process, Theron cracked her teeth from clenching her jaw and had to get them fixed in surgery. As Theron's training for the movie overlapped with Keanu Reeves' training for John Wick Chapter 2, the two developed a competitive relationship, which included sparring together.
