Supergirl<\/em> stinks!<\/a> Sorry, I know that seems unprofessional and immature, but that was my first reaction after exiting my preview screening of the second film in James Gunn<\/strong>‘s rebooted DC universe.<\/p>\n

Milly Alcock<\/strong><\/a> stars as the titular Krypton heroine, and she’s the best \u2013 and only \u2013 good thing about it. The movie she’s in is pure junk, with a tired plotline about found family, muddy visuals that try \u2013 and fail \u2013 to hide the janky CGI and a lame villain whose name I can’t even remember. (Klurg? Klog? Krang? Who cares, he was lame!)<\/p>\n

There’s no need to subject yourself to this summer blockbuster slop when there’s so much to watch at home on streamers like Netflix<\/a>, HBO Max and Prime Video<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you’re craving thrilling action movies with kick-ass heroines, ditch the spandex and stream these films starring Scarlett Johansson<\/strong>, Charlize Theron<\/strong>, Bridget Fonda<\/strong> and a bunch of dudes who get their faces slapped and punched.<\/p>\n

You can pick any Charlize Theron<\/strong><\/a> action film to watch and you’d get your money’s worth and more. Mad Max: Fury Road<\/em> is one of the greatest motion pictures of all time<\/a>, while The Italian Job<\/em>, Apex<\/em>, The Old Guard <\/em>and Aeon Flux<\/em> all deliver the action thrills you crave. But I’m going with Atomic Blonde, mainly because it has Theron giving James Bond a run for his martini as a sexy spy you don’t want to mess with.<\/p>\n

A list with names of undercover agents working in Berlin has been stolen, and it’s up to MI6 agent Lorraine Broughton (Theron) to find it. When she arrives in Berlin, she teams up with David Percival (James McAvoy<\/strong><\/a>), her main point of contact, who can lead her to Aleksander Bremovych (Roland M\u00f8ller<\/strong>), a KGB agent she thinks has the list. But Berlin in 1989 is full of dangerous people, and Lorraine isn’t sure who she can trust.<\/p>\n

Atomic Blonde<\/em>‘s plot seems complicated, but it’s pretty simple once you get past all the smoke and mirrors. It’s essentially a watered-down version of Mission: Impossible<\/em>‘s story, minus the tech-babble polish that made that film so great. But Blonde<\/em> makes up for it through style, fully embracing the neon colors and techno-dance synths of the decade it’s set in, and Theron, who is punched, kicked, shot at, stabbed and thrown off numerous buildings. She somehow survives all of that, and you believe it because she’s Charlize f***ing Theron.<\/p>\n

Atomic Blonde<\/em> is streaming on HBO Max.<\/a><\/p>\n

Maggie Hayward (Bridget Fonda<\/strong><\/a>) has nothing to lose. After she kills a cop while high during a botched robbery, she’s looking at spending the rest of her life behind bars \u2013 or worse. When a mysterious man named Bob (Gabriel Byrne<\/strong>) offers her a deal, she takes it \u2013 but she doesn’t realize her life now belongs to the U.S. government. Maggie becomes a trained assassin who has to do what she’s told, which usually involves killing people. But despite her violent past, Maggie is no killer, and she soon wants out of a deal that has no exit clause.<\/p>\n

A remake of the acclaimed 1990 French film La Femme Nikita<\/em>, this Americanized version is surprisingly better. That’s due to a combination of things: the deeply felt lead performance by Fonda, who makes her enigmatic assassin tough but vulnerable; the fantastic score by Hans Zimmer<\/strong>, which gets your blood pumping; and the kinetic direction by John Badham<\/strong>, who knows how to stage a good action scene. Point of No Return<\/em> is almost forgotten about now, but it’s a prime example of a remake that improves on its source material.<\/p>\n

Point of No Return<\/em> can be rented or purchased on Prime Video and other digital vendors.<\/a><\/p>\n
