Read my spoiler-free movie review of The Old Guard (2020).
Charlize Theron, Matthias Schoenaerts, Chiwetel Ejiofor and KiKi Lane are the stars of The Old Guard, a new fantasy/action movie directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood.
Theron plays the leader of a covert team of immortal mercenaries who are suddenly exposed, just as an unexpected new member is discovered. And so begins the fight to keep their identity a secret.
All this business of rapid healing has me intrigued, and I also find myself suddenly suspicious of Lane’s character.
I already know that Schoenaerts and Theron will be great. Fingers crossed for another good mercenary action movie from Netflix, especially considering the fun I had with Chris Hemsworth’s Extraction (2020).
Harry Melling, Natacha Karam, Marwan Kenzari, Van Veronica Ngo, Anamaria Marinca, Luca Marinelli, Adam Collins, Joey Ansah, Tuncay Gunes and Russell Balogh also star.
The Old Guard Release Dates: July 10th, 2020, Netflix/ Internet…
Happy Film Loving

I get “Tomb Raider” vibes… sounds intriguing, too bad it’s R rated, my boys would have loved it…
The Tomb Raider link didn’t occur to me all. I see it now. I just really want it to be good.
I’m really looking forward to this. I love a good action movie and I’m hoping Theron delivers. She amazes me at the different characters she can play, and usually plays them well. I’m also a fan of Chiwetel Ejiofor so I’m curious to see what he brings to the table.
I agree with you you fully! 🤓
We have always been able to rely on Theron and Ejiofor for a good performance, and long may that continue to be the case.
As long as the execution won’t be as disappointing as my least favourite Netflix sci-fi movie, Extinction (2018), I think we’ll be OK.
