Atomic Blonde (2017)
I think overall the plot is convoluted, but there are three really good things worth pointing out. One is the use of music. There is a great use of 80s Cold War-era music. Diegetic sound is music incorporated within the scenes in a practical way, and there's lots of it. The second thing is the movie's use of color. All the action scenes look very stylish and bloody. Some of the fight scenes are actually quite funny because they're a little more realistic in that human beings don't have unlimited stamina. And third, I really love the clever use of reflections. The mirrors are placed perfectly in the scene to reflect different angles of the action. Interesting framing.
