I wanted to properly watch Atomic Blonde(2017) before I trimmed it down. Boot-wise it was as good as advertised, a rare thing (yes, I'm looking at you Proud Mary!). As a movie it was a very good collection of fight scenes stylishly stitched together.  The single unreliable narrator device was done very well in The Usual Suspects....not so much here.  It seemed like a tribute to the 80's by people who hadn't lived through it. It made me want to re-watch The Hunger (1983).
But good Lord, the boots and the fight scenes!  It's hard to definitely say "best ever."  But over-all top 10 in the "action boot" category? Yeah, I'll make that call.  It had a too much of the gloomy blue and grey palette that cinematographers seem to love.  But there was enough attention paid to lighting that nothing ever turned into a dark messy blob.  There wasn't a single defining moment, but there was a lot for an action-based shaftie to love.
These are pretty high-quality clips that might be difficult for some machines to play. This movie deserved the best I could find. I've got the extras floating around here somewhere, I'm going to go through them. Also, I reserve the right to do a special slo-mo repeats edit of these. You've been warned.
