The Old Guard is a group of immortal beings that are at risk of their secret being exposed after they discover and rescue another. This action drama was based off the comic book of the same name and stars Charlize Theron and Chiwetel Ejiofor.
When I think of a traditional superhero movie this isn't what I would have thought of. This didn't come off as one of those big budget Marvel movies. It was a more low key kind of hero movie with an interesting plot, even though some of the key pieces were predictable from the beginning.
The majority of the cast were unknown to me but were a good, diverse group of actors. The script had descent character development but could have elaborated more. This is one of the few hero movies I’ve seen with clearly out LGBTQ characters which was great to see on screen. Even with the missing pieces, Charlize did well carrying this movie, she brought a lot of pain and leadership to the role and also had some really intricate fight sequences which were impressive.
The Old Guard has been set up for a sequel which I don’t particularly care to see. In the end, the movie was okay but not worth another reiteration nor re-watching.
