The main reason is the action aspect, Atomic Blonde can be regarded as a real action thriller, while Wolf Warrior 2 is an action comedy at best. Even though I've seen a lot of action movies, the action in this one still amazes me. The action sequence at Gasciogne's house is a little amazing; a series of action sequences before and after the parade is a big surprise: close-range gun fight, hand-to-hand combat, car chase, everything, and finally Lorraine and Spyglass being knocked into the water When I was inside, I subconsciously shouted "wow".
In addition, I have to mention the soundtrack and performance. The soundtrack can really be described as stylish, it is very special, which is not found in other spy films, such as Bond, Bourne or Mission Impossible. Theron's performance should be her best since 2003's Monster, which, along with 2015's Fury Road, made Theron a veritable No. 1 female action star in Hollywood. The
downside, presumably, is the narrative aspect. The level of the director is not enough. The first half talks about some things that have nothing to do with the main plot, even including lesbian, which makes the whole film not enough.
Finally, with Atomic Blonde's action style so similar to the John Wick series, is it possible to make a crossover sequel? Theron and Keanu Reeves are both actors I really like. They have worked together many times before, and I look forward to working together again.
