Netflix is pushing this because it has Theron's star power.
I watched 1/2 last night.....it's 'OK'. If released in the theaters it would have bombed. Lots of violence that I wasn't expecting.
She doesn't even look that good. Maybe things will pick up for the 2nd half.
Two stars out of five.

You had me at "Charlize Theron." But now I'm not so sure.

They do NOT take advantage of her good looks in this flick. Rather the opposite, they go to lengths to make her appear plain.

i watched about 2/3rds before falling asleep. Woke up thinking "I don't need to watch the rest of it." why is there so much content and so little to watch? every show is full of ultra-violence and psychopathy. I can't believe i made it so far into Hannibal before bailing out. i will say that if you like cooking shows, Great British Bake Off and The Final Table are pretty good. We just finished up Final Table and I thought it was a well structured show even if some of the drama gets played up too much. On a side note... i think they wanted to name it "the last supper" but there were copyright issues.

Nothing like in Monster though.
also, i have met a lot of actors/actresses in person who look nowhere like what they look like on the screen. i bet if you met her in the grocery store, she'd look more like her character in this film than her other films.

Finished it. It got a little better. But they sure left it open for more sequels. And I'm sure they'll make them because it didn't look like it cost very much to make.

Charlize Theron seems to enjoy being in these action movies. This one, Max Max: Fury Road, of course, and Aeon Flux.

No, but I've seen the pictures...they ugly'd her up pretty good.

Atomic Blonde was one of her better movies.
