Sensual and savage, Lorraine Broughton is the most elite spy in MI6, an agent who's willing to use all of her lethal skills to stay alive during an impossible mission. With the Berlin Wall about to fall, she travels into the heart of the city to retrieve a priceless dossier and take down a ruthless espionage ring. Once there, she teams up with an embedded station chief to navigate her way through the deadliest game of spies.

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.

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.

I recently discovered Charlize, and I am absolutely obsessed with her as an actress now! Her screen presence is electrifying, and she brings such intensity and depth to every role she takes on. I dove into her action movies, and they completely blew me away—her stunts, her fierce energy, and her ability to balance raw strength with emotional nuance are unmatched. The movie I just watched was nothing short of amazing. From start to finish, it had me hooked—thrilling action sequences, stunning visuals, and Charlize commanding the screen in every scene. She has an incredible talent for making you believe every single moment, whether she’s in a high-stakes fight or delivering a subtle, emotional beat. I can’t believe I hadn’t fully explored her work before, but now she’s easily one of my favorite actresses. If you haven’t seen her action films yet, you’re seriously missing out!

Good action, suspense, and soundtrack. It captures the unrest in East Germany prior to the fall of the Berlin Wall and the jubilation after it comes down. The plot twists and turns right to the very end.

Some of the best fight scenes ever, great casting all the way around, top notch production from top to bottom and Charlize Theron is truly amazing.

Especially being a US Navy Veteran, I absolutely love this movie every time I see it. Not just visually, but the story itself is VIVID; it is full of hilarity as well. I'm probably about to watch it again right now! 😃

This is a well produced, thoughtfully constructed action movie with a unique vibe. This is executed to a T, and despite the need to suspend disbelief that this small figure is taking so much abuse, overall I like the film very much. it rewards paying attention to the plot, unlike most action movies/thillers these days. It is dripping with theme.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom
