Atomic Blonde rated R for violence, boobies (mostly Charlize Theron's) and a short Lesbian scene.
I thought, from watching the trailers, I was going to an Action movie, but I saw a spy thriller with a boat load of action.
Set in Berlin as the Wall fell, lots of good 80's music. Charlize was great. Started slow but halfway, really picked up speed.
You do need some suspension of disbelief, I don't care how highly trained a 130 lb. woman is, she is not going to win a brawl against multiple, trained 200+ lb. men. Shoot them - yes, beat them up - doubt it.
Lots of twists and turns, the last 2 twists - I saw one coming (and guessed wrong), but totally blindsided by the last.
It compares favorably to a Bond film.
I give it a 7 out of 10 - mostly for the slow start, but boobies.

In fairness...no one is really going to win a brawl against multiple, trained 200 lb men outside of the movies.

What about one 1000 lb. man against five 200 lb. men?

It depends. Does he have a kazoo?
I was just thinking about this thread - there was an article I read on how they tried to alter the typical choreography to make sure Theron was fighting like a woman would be trained to fight, i.e. focusing on lower body moves when strength was required, improvising weapons, and targeting vital areas instead of one-punch knockouts and other Hollywood standards.

I'm convinced this is Charlize Theron's character from "Arrested Development".
