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.

Kambole Campbell

One Room With A View

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

Rated: 3/5

New Statesman

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

Irish Times

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

Rated: 2/5

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.

Every Movie Has a Lesson

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

Rated: 3/5

Deep Focus Review

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

Best James Bond movie I ever saw. Charlize Theron makes a plausible female Bond.

Fast, stylish, intense, sexy, and just smart enough to make for a solid spy thriller. How good is it..? A good, not great, spy movie for sure. John Le Carré it's not. As an action film it stands above most films of the genre, hard hitting as Bourne, almost as brutal as Wick, more stylish than either. brilliant fight scenes fun and intense to watch. Probably not brutally real but believable, fun and superior to 90% of the dummed down action and spy thrillers to come out of the last 20 years. Imagine the best of 90's spy films and early 2000's action films together, with more sex appeal than either. If you have not seen this movie, wait for a quiet evening and give it your full attention. I am so sick of modern action movies, but this one stands out.

🍅 6.9/10 So the main reason I came here was for Bill Skarsgård and yes, he’s in it and he doesn’t die 😍. Definitely a solid John Wick esc film with plenty of great action sequences, but a few too many at points. This is definitely a jukebox film where music just plays 24 seven as it goes from action, sequence, to action sequence and in that sense it’s very entertaining, But there’s plenty of times where you don’t feel like you can breathe in between scenes. Still, the set pieces are beautiful the actions awesome Charlize Theron and James McAvoy are both great in here. So if you’re horny for some action, this is definitely one I’d recommend. Grade B

Shots of long stems below short skirts, shots fired, punches thrown, leg kicks, and too many undeveloped characters.
