Liked the hot chick, liked the action scenes, like the lezzie action but boy, that story was waaaay to convoluted. I want to root for someone but it was hard to decide who's the bad guy and who's the good guy. Watching this movie was like watching two bullies fight each other, you don't really care who wins but just watch the fighting, which is lame.
shareEvidently it is about smoking cigarettes. Makes about as much sense as anything else. I wasn't really into the it...I didn't even finish it.
shareThe action was SO intense and amazing to watch but good lord, the story was unnecessarily way too convulated.
The film was letdown by the plot. That amazing action deserved a better script in my opinion. Or at least a simpler, straight forward story
Yeah it's that rare action movie that tries way too hard with the story.
shareI just saw it the other night and I agree.
At some point I just gave up and focused all of my attention on Charlize being hot as shit in this movie.
I hear ya. I didn't get it either. Too much fancy schmancy spinning around and everyone getting killed but her. All that for a list that I still am not sure was about. I will say though that I did enjoy the hell out of the music.
shareIt was style over substance, and the style is not particularly original. The story is not convoluted at all, but just badly told, the scenes are too fractured, the generic characters are fluffy, Bremovych has almost no screen time, the French gal is useless... Enemy agent providing you with a list of double agents is the stupidest plot idea ever.
This makes me appreciate the Missions Impossible movies. They are so high in the sky on every possible level.
Its funny you write that though, because the first mission impossible movie is about a stolen "NOC List" being sold which is a list of all the u.s. spies codenames and locations. Ethan Hunt takes down the traitor who stole it and stops the people trying to buy it. And then he says "Red Light, Green Light! And blows up the helicopter in the train tunnel xD
shareI remember that it was something about a list and checked the plot. It is about an authentic list being stolen. In Atomic Blonde you have to believe the enemy agent that he will provide you with an authentic list, and it is not a ploy to sow distrust. Anyway, I'm not big fan of the first 3 MIs.
Often this type of movies make no sense if you dig deeper, but the trick is to obfuscate. Here they are not even trying. The huggable Stasi officer and his list can't get off the screen.
