Critics Review

“Atomic Blonde” is going to make an excellent highlight reel. Atomic Blonde is an action-thriller movie that follows MI6's most lethal assassin through a ticking time bomb of a city simmering with revolution and double-crossing hives of traitors. The film is a ridiculously dressy design feast, first and foremost. “Atomic Blonde” is a movie with strong performance and Good Storyline.

Rolling Stone

It's the fight scenes that count – and they're astonishingly good, from a mano-a-mano beatdown involving Theron's stiletto heel and a thug's jugular vein to a climactic free-for-all in a swanky hotel suite where "99 Luftbaloons" scores every gunshot and gut-punch. Theron, who did most of her own martial-arts stunts, is pure bruising poetry in motion. She's a stone-cold badass.

USA Today

From Jennifer Garner in Alias to Keri Russell in The Americans, there’s plenty of precedent for female spy leads, and Theron has the moves and the manner to pull off a James Bond or Jason Bourne. But with its underwhelming storytelling, Atomic Blonde isn’t the ideal franchise starter she deserves.

Chicago Tribune

"Atomic Blonde" is a film about the power to be found in crafting images and telling stories. It's self-consciously a movie about the movies. Unfortunately, "Atomic Blonde" fumbles its own tale. After a brisk, efficient, über-cool first hour, all New Wave tunes and sexy neon lighting, the second hour drags into dullness. 

Deadline

Atomic Blonde exists as a “vehicle” for Theron (who also was a producer), but she is firing on all cylinders here, proving blondes not only have more fun, they have more guns — and know how to use them.
