Movie Reviews and Previews Robbie vs Paul Pt 3 Atonement. Remember how gross Benedict Cumberbatch was in Atonement? It’s a testament to his skill as an actor but I can’t help but hold it against him anyway. Poor Robbie took the fall for Paul’s underage creeping! Can you be TOO good at your job? Atonement was By Lainey • Nov 13, 2012 04:02 pm
