Atomic Blonde immediately earns a place in the canon of great action cinema. Layered, emotional, and riveting, the Cold War story blends human drama, thematic depth, and jolting action in its tale of spooks trapped in Berlin. The production is sleek, the violence is biting and the girls super thin and worth investment. It is the rare action film whose spirit and energy tags along feminine sexiness and the desire to watch the work again immediately after the credits roll.
