The Old Guard

As this film is based on a comic book, similarities r inevitable but it is a solid action thriller. A short summary - A small group of centuries old soldiers who r trapped in an immortality with the ability to heal themselves must save each other from being caged by big pharma companies. They soon realize that it is harder to hide in this 21st century and so must get organized to erase their footprints but at the same time deal with past grievances.

The cinematography n editing r top notch. There is no shaky cam or darkly shot scenes. The hand to hand combat n gun fight sequences r noteworthy. Charlize Theron is in awesome shape and all the other actors gave good performances. Another highlight is the music.

There were just so many clichés, cringe, and naive moments. The dialogue was also simple. The music was not all that good. The antagonist had a cartoonish evil character.

The Old Guard has an interesting plot and executes it well. It's not an all-star action film...but it's a solid average movie from Netflix that just works. I'm ready for the sequel!

I really wanted to like this film. It's got a simple but fun premise and it's got Charlize Theron, who's a fantastic actress. But the film is just marred by plot holes, cliched characters, tacky dialogues and hands down the most inadequate music possible for this film.

It's still a passable action film if you have absolutely nothing else to watch.

The premise was good, but they didn't got to do something interesting with it. It was kind of a bore all the way. Also, the soundtrack is one of the worst I've ever witnessed in a movie.
