Atomic Blonde: Why the bath with ice cubes? Login/Join

Cocksucker.

So, can someone explain bathing in ice cube-filled bath water?

We don't see its effects on her nipples.

So why?

I haven't seen the movie so going on the explanation of a movie reviewer... from what I understand she gets the ever-loving daylights kicked out of her on a frequent basis, and the ice cube bath is supposed to help with the swelling and bruising.

If there was actual Charlize nudity in the movie in that scene then I would suspect the director took advantage of some gratuitous nudity to sell the flick as well.

Is the movie worth seeing?

Yep, ice baths help with bruising,sore muscles, etc. I take them after some brutal martial arts workouts and belt test. I recently took a two day Krav Maga Active Shooter response class.....taking an ice bath is the only thing that allowed me to move the next day without great pain. If you watch the Crossfit Games, you see all the athletes competing taking ice baths after events.

Besides, if it was just director helping sell the movie by having Charlize naked.....I'm good with that. Big Grin

Yes, the movie is actually pretty decent, good action scenes and has some plot twists.

On a side note: I thought it was pretty good...really liked the music selection.

Yeah, I took ice baths all the time as a football and rugby player


The worst were full body contrast baths...

20 minutes in scalding hot water and immediately out and into an ice bath

It's a movie that hurts, physically. Which means that between the intense fight scenes, gratuitous lesbian sex and 80's sound track, it's right up my alley. I saw it with a British friend who's been living in Berlin for 30 years, and we agreed that though a graphic novel adaption with the obvious plot liberties, it paid great attention to the details of the city pre-fall of the Wall. The extent of quibbles we could come up with were things like a HMMWV driving past the Brandenburg Gate in what would have been the British sector, or a DDR border guard sporting a moustache, which was against the regs.

Me too. The sound track brought back lots of memories.

jsbcody, Krav Maga progressive fatigue drills were what finally kicked my right knee over the edge...
Those running back and forth and kicking/punching variations (I.E. "replicating reality") are hard on an old geezer.

Yes, when it comes to Netflix or Amazon.

Lots of gratuitous sex, well choreographed fights, gratuitous sex, well done scenery, gratuitous sex, did I say that already?

Krav is like every other martial art now, it depends almost entirely on the quality of the instructor. Some of them are just glorified cardio kickboxing classes that don't teach crap.

The one (also a JKD instructor) I have now is more a dirty boxing/fighting (operating in close and mid range of Jeet Kune Do) with takedowns/throws/some groundwork of BJJ/Judo.

I not sure gratuitous means what some of you guys think it does

Lots of necessary to the plot sex....

Awesome 80’s music...

And I disagree about the effect on Charlize’s nipples in the ice bath that the OP mentioned - I could definitely see that it was cold.

Yes, worth a watch. Out on Amazon now.

It's been on Amazon for a week or so.

I want to check it out but can wait until it is included for free with my amazon prime or netfix. The turn around is so fast any more I pass on going to the movies and just wait.
