5 d. ago Atomic review – the intro is the most hardcore 37 seconds of TV this year

The suspense never ends in Alfie Allen and Samira Wiley’s uranium-smuggling thriller. If you can make it through the intense opening, you can make it through anythingYou know what they say. If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the drug smuggling across the Sahara racket. Alas, these are wise words that young cartel driver Max (Alfie Allen, bringing exactly the reckless high energy the character and venture require) has failed to heed. We first meet him speeding across the Algerian portion of the north African desert with a companion called Carlos (Nezar Thalal) on their way to Beirut to exchange a great deal of cocaine for some antique statues, when bish, bash, wallop, what’s happening?! An ambush by a militant group armed with machine guns who kill Carlos and are about to kill Max? But then one of the group turns on the others and kills all of them stone dead instead, before flinging Max and the coke in the car and hightailing it out of there? That is what’s happening! Goodness ...
