Is Atomic Blonde like James Bond (007)?
From the marketing I've seen, they're making her out to be the female James Bond. Is that an accurate assessment? I love Bond, so that's great news if so.
shareNo. I have and like all the Bond films, but this is a completely different kind of spy story, just not the same genre at all.
About the only thing they have in common is that there are spies involved. but these are hard core criminals and there is no over-the-top evil mastermind looking to take over the globe from his evil lair up in the mountains.
Aww, that's too bad. Will probably wait for it to come out on Blu Ray then.
shareIt stands on its own - so it is worth seeing. The movie is set in 1989 Berlin and it is the end of the Cold War with the wall coming down - so it is like the original James Bond movies. She's a little La Femme Nikita and a little like John Wick and Jason Bourne and there's also Tinker Tailor spy fest plot and feel. It is fun. There are a lot of twists so the plot is confusing.
shareNo, it's actually a good thing that it is unique and not yet another Bond clone. Why would you want that -- we already have 24 Bond films and scores of copy cats.
