What to Know

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 Aug 25, 2018 Full Review Ryan Gilbey New Statesman Even an actor as good as Theron can't turn a set of cynical commercial considerations into a character. Aug 17, 2017 Full Review Donald Clarke 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 Aug 15, 2017 Full Review Akhil Arora AkhilArora.com 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. May 11, 2024 Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson Leitch’s film lacks zip, zilch, and zero in the style department. Rated: 3/5 Aug 14, 2022 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review The talented cast and formal technique feel trampled by the overstylized and undermotivated narrative. Rated: 2/4 Mar 23, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Peter S An excellent action film with gorgeous 80's styling and a stellar performance from Theron. The action sequences feel very well choreogrqphed which makes the film feel refreshingly realistic and really takes you into that world of cold war espionage. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/26/25 Full Review David S This is a great action flick, I loved this movie. I knew I was going to like it because Charlize Theron was in it but I was not expecting to love the film. I have to give props to Charlize for doing her own stunts. The fight sequences in this movie are amazing something I have not seen before in an action film. I thought the story, acting, directing and visuals were great and the action scenes were awesome. This is a great action flick and I did not know that this is based on a graphic novel called the coldest city, this is a great film. If you have not seen this movie then I recommend you do. This movie is Cinematastic Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/02/25 Full Review Marcus T Very thin storyline, connected by violent action scenes. Overall pretty slow moving. None of the characters were likeable. They didn't give Theron much to do beyond act like a tough girl who could fight. I watched half of it then lost interest. Technically proficient, but without any human element. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/14/25 Full Review Trey D Some amazing action scenes & kept me guessing to the very end and ending didn’t disappoint. Great soundtrack. Would be surprised & disappointed if there is no sequel . Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/09/25 Full Review Frans B another good one from Leitch. Charlize Theron perfect in character. Whole cast excels convincingly in character. Action filled, fast paced, cleverly written and brilliantly directed. Great soundtrack. Story well written and brought to life on screen. Movie creates an amazing ambiance with the camera. Riveting viewing and just keeps on giving Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/07/25 Full Review Christopher Rogue Fantastic Charlene + Amazingly mixed Soundtrack Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/02/25 Full Review Read all reviews
