Kevin's Watch

By the end of this (I believe) comic book adaption I was simply bored with seeing Charleze Theron batter and kill every (always make) antagonist that she came up against. Yes - we get it; we're all a bunch of bastards and women can kick our asses hands down any time they choose. The paper thin plot line ( that I can't make coherent no matter which way I turn it) is way to poor a vehicle for the talents of the actors involved and the lack of thought with which the whole caboose is slubbered up is patent in every dull frame. Women have had a raw deal at the hands of men since time immemorial and that needs to be addressed, but this gore filled fantasy payback is not the way to do it.

I wasn't expecting a lot out of it, and it pretty much met expectations. The long cut scene was pretty amazing, and I liked how quickly people tired and a few other touches that seemed more realistic than a lot of action movies. I liked it overall, although there really wasn't much to the plot.

Probably where the problem lay for me Cag - I was expecting to like it! Still - c'est la vie.

I've now watched this movie twice, and I have to say that this is one of my favorite action films from the last several years. Great set pieces, engaging plot, good stuntwork and choreography, and a killer soundtrack.

Looking forward to the sequel.

I enjoyed some of this movie but not all of it. Charlize is very hot.The soundtrack had that safe or conservative edge of the radio mix from the times, but it served the movie well. Action sequences were pretty good..... did I mention that I liked seeing Charlize draped over lounges already?
I give it a solid 3 stars out of 5.

Yeah Id give it 4 stars out of 5.

I liked it a lot .. but I do tend to like kick ass women kicking ass

And yeah she is hot

It didnt move well between segments I thought .. but you kinda get that with different time sequences. Meh ..

I think it is better watched more than once though Pete.

Sorry Sky - just reading my op remind me of all the reasons I disliked it. Me and Atomic Blonde have parted company........ for good!

All good horses for courses
