For a premise as solid as this I really expected a much more fleshed out movie. The momentum of action is not sustainable throughout. Sure its a tad bit better than many other popcorn movies _(6 Underground)_ but it does not even come close to _Extraction_ which was also released earlier this year by Netflix. The entire thing seems like a set-up for future movies. I don't know if I wanna watch sequels to a movie which is so pre-occupied with sequels that it fails to deliver on the movie at hand. Charlize Theron is obviously great. She gives everything to this run of the mill expository script. This is not a bad action flick per se but is sure as hell disappointing. Also, playing generic pop electronica at odd places throughout the movie does not help the cause.

Entertaining movie with an interesting story. The movie had more depths in the characters than I expected, which was nice. The acting was good and the fighting performances were exciting. Overall it was great to see Charlize Theron kick ass again and I guess we'll see more of it in the sequel which clearly is already in the works.

A TV pilot with a script that's outright ridiculous when it's not too busy being predictable. Please someone arrest Charlize Theron's blackmailers so they can stop forcing her to make garbage runs and trash dives.

This movie will seem familiar to everyone because it’s a conglomerate of hundreds of shitty movies… Is it that hard to come up with some original ideas

Started out OK, but in the second half the pace and plot kind of fell apart. Has an interesting premise - immortal humans connected to each other - but seems to have too many ideas they wanted to piece together without being able to pull it off.

The good first. The action sequences, when done rig More

Andromache 'Andy' the Scythian (Charlize Theron) is immortal. She is so old she doesn't even remember her age. Her wounds heal without leaving scars, but she's not impervious to pain and can die, usually coming back to life by dramatically jerking upright.

Andy is not alone; other immortals, just More

We all remember "Highlander". It was an instant classic, memorable, heartfelt, romantic, exciting, fantastic soundtrack.......

Well "The Old Guard" is its antithesis. Its a brittle tale of justification for globalist Western meddling, social justice, politics of sexuality and more. Once again, th More

Netflix isn't exactly known for its original action films, and when these occasionally appear, most tend to be more comedic than focusing on the action itself (Spenser Confidential, 6 Underground). H More
