Ratings and reviews

I thought overall, the movie was fantastic. Jennifer Lawrence did a spectacular job playing her character and fulfilling the story. The only problem I had was with Jeremy Irons and his character. Though Jeremy Irons is an amazing actor with a ton of experience under his belt, his Russian character is simply not believable as Russian. It takes away from the movie taking place in Russia and puts you into a sort of hybrid Brtish-Russian spy movie. I felt like he was trying, but he could of tried a little harder than that, because I know he is capable of doing at least a decent accent.

Jennifer Lawrence did one remotely badass thing in the entire movie. Its 90% a school your cousin forced you into on how to properly get raped. I never thought I'd see so much in a movie. Got it on redbox and even that like $1.50 for it on there was a waste of money. Some people liked it. I'm not a fan of rape so..

The real Atomic Blonde. Extremely well done film. Absolutely loved it. Somewhat similar to atomic blonde, but by far a much better movie. Saw atomic blonde in theaters and wanted to walk out 20-30 minutes in. This however kept me intrigued and glued to the screen the whole time. Lawrence's performance and accent is fantastic. Could go on and on. If you are a true cinema lover, you'll really enjoy this.
