Atomic Blonde

I will cut to the chase, this kind of movie is just not my cup of tea.  I am not a fan of unrelenting violence.  This is  saying something as I religiously watch Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead, so I am no shrinking violet. However, the violence, for me, gets in the way of a story that I found somewhat interesting.  Charlize Theron plays an elite MI6 British spy who uses her considerable skills in Berlin right before the Berlin Wall is demolished.    She is sent into Berlin and makes contact with another spy played by James McAvoy.  The plot also involves  a search for a missing list of double agents, a ruthless espionage ring, nudity and enough blood to fill a bathtub or two.   Even though this movie is not my kind of movie, that is not to say it is bad.  If you like John Wick, Jason Bourne and Jack Reacher, I think you will enjoy seeing a woman playing this kind of character.  Plus, she looks good in all of those different costumes and can do one thing all of those other characters can’t do; fight in and with three inch heels!  Plus, any movie that throws in John Goodman and Toby Jones can’t be all bad.
