I have worked in the healthcare field for over 30 years and I loved the way it graphically showed someone getting stabbed and still not dying. Most films show someone getting stabbed once and they fall down dead. The truth is it takes several minutes for someone to bleed to death from stab wounds. There are exceptions to this but I don't want to spoil anything. Sofia Boutella is delightful and charming. James McAvoy uses his beefed up "Beast" body in this film. Charlize is an amazing strong, brilliant, clever MI6 agent. She is also flawed, fragile and vulnerable. As Lorraine, Theron carries herself with so much confidence it is almost impossible to take your eyes off of her. And the soundtrack is so awesome. Remembering where you were when the Berlin Wall came down put me in a very pleasant reminiscing mood. At this point I have watched it a dozen times and I will watch it again.
