 God, I think I love you. You know so going into this movie I heard a little whisper saying that this movie Atomic Blonde is the female version of John Wick. Is there any truth to that? Well, let's find out My name is Brennan Keith-Avery and this is just my opinion All right guys, thank you for tuning in for my review slasher pan on Atomic Blonde This was not gonna be a long review. This is gonna be short and sweet as far as my expectations going into this film They were mediocre and seeing all the trailers and TV spots and whatnot You know it did like it did look like it had a great sense of action and I am an action guy This movie is directed by David Leach. If you're familiar with him He was uncredited for directing John Wick which came out in 2014 I don't think he had anything to do with part two, but he's really known in Hollywood for all of his stunt directing and Action choreography and things like that. So seeing him behind the camera You know did kind of get me a little bit excited And I also knew that he is going to be the director for Deadpool 2 that comes out a summer of next year But this movie stars of it starts Charlize Theron and James McAvoy and what it's about is this takes place in the 80s Right after the Cold War and there is an undercover MI6 agent Which is Charlize Theron who goes over to Berlin to try to find out and investigate who murdered another agent Now the best thing about this movie is the action I will go ahead and get this out of the way The movie comes in and right under two hours one hour and 55 minutes And if you can get past the first hour of this movie to where when the action Finally starts you may have a good time But one of the main things about the main problems with this whole movie is that it's very slow in the very beginning It's very monotone and dry and it's pretty boring just to keep it pretty simple. It was very frustrating because When you see all the trailers it looked like it's action packed, but it's really not I mean this has nothing it doesn't even come remotely close to John with one or John with two So maybe that's my fault for having those expectations But you know the action just takes a long time to get there as far as Charlize Theron's character and James McAvoy I do I did prefer James McAvoy's character More over hers and I just brought those two up because of the main stars and that's just because James McAvoy He has some charisma to him He has some attitude He has some funk and there was actually something different about his characters you found out later on in the film Charlize Theron the only colorful thing that she had gone on was her blonde wig and it really wasn't even blonde It looked more white but her character was so dull boring and monotone like seriously Whether she was sitting down in a conference room or an interrogation room talking on the phone Talking to a friend or even having sex everything about her character would just dry monotone just I mean You know there was no creativity to her anything She would just sit there and talk like this the whole time and act like she didn't want to be there and you know Just it just got really annoying and I didn't care about her character as well Whether she lived or died it really did not matter to me because it just wasn't much to her character or her surroundings And when I say surroundings it's really frustrating because they try to market this thing where it's 80s with neon blue green and pink lights and There really isn't that much of that either this movie is damn near a black and white film With sprinkles of color here and there and then the most of the color from the movie comes from subtitles That's juice from spray paint So, you know, that's just another reason why you shouldn't really like this movie a curve for it because I didn't myself As far as the rest of the characters is really hard to cover them either because no one is loyal to anybody Everybody pretends like you know, they're down with their country or down with a certain organization And they're gonna try to investigate and find the real reason, you know behind why this crime happened And we're gonna find justice But at the end of the movie you find out all that is bullcrap Nobody cares everyone is selfish and just really after for their own benefit and just trying to survive And there's nothing wrong with you just trying to survive But at the same time, how can you criticize somebody for being crooked when you crooked yourself? And I really just didn't like that. So I Didn't like the color palette of the movie the cinematography. This was a very dark film literally There just was not that much color to it and then when there was color from the neon lights From the subtitles, you know, it was just very drawing. I really didn't care about Charlize there is character. She was dull. The only highlight was James McAvoy and you know, all of his charisma and whatnot and The action was great, you know, it was really hard pounding. You hear every punch every kick every stab every grunt every moan It was really nice. And I'm excuse me. I will give David least that Because he was working the hell out of that camera and doing a lot of the action scenes It either looked or it appeared or gave the illusion that this was all done with one take like no credits Like he's just in there in the midst of the action, you know, and I'm just like man I like I cannot believe the camera didn't break I mean, how long did they choreograph this thing because this is freaking amazing But the only thing is is that the action isn't good enough for me to want to buy I mean, I wouldn't mind singing again But when this comes out on blu-ray or whatever I wouldn't buy because you know, like John Wick part 1 or John Wick part 2 Or I don't know if you I've heard of the raid or the raid redemption part 2 these movies that I have here I can watch all these movies either straight through and enjoy the action or I can just pop it in and just enjoy the action Scenes but as great as the action is in this atomic blonde I cannot do it because the movie was just born when there was no fighting. I was just like man I'm ready to go. I looked at my watch and I only saw that we was only 45 minutes into it You know, so if you can get it comes in at 1 hour and 55 minutes If you can get past the first hour, you may have a good time The movie did end a lot better than what it started But for the most part I was ready to go and completely let down If I had to rate atomic blonde out of a 1 out of 10, I would give it a 5.5 out of 10 Yes a 5.5 out of 10, but guys, that's just my opinion Have you seen atomic blonde?
