The Old Guard
{5/5} “I found the new one. She stabbed me, so I think she has potential.”
The Old Guard, released in 2020
Andy heads a team of 4 — they rescue good guys, and kill bad guys. Now they’re going to South Sudan, to rescue a group of captured students. The whole team is killed. But then they wake up again, and kill the people who killed them. They realize that there are no students — it was all a setup. Then they feel someone has died and been reborn, like them — an army officer in Afghanistan.
With a more interesting storyline than Eternals and a nice sense of humour, this is the movie about immortals that you want to watch today.
It ends with a surprise that leads into a sequel.
Written by Greg Rucka (Wonder Woman by Greg Rucka Volume 3).
Stars Charlize Theron, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Harry Melling. Directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood (The Secret Life of Bees). The music is by Volker Bertelmann and Dustin O’Halloran.
