Synopsis

PS( I have something for you at the bottom of this page😉😉)
In the opening scene,the moment Andy, Brooker, Ricky and Joe got gunned down right after they all walked into the room, I screamedddd. Funny thing is, I didn’t even read the synopsis before watching so I didn’t know that they were immortal. Although I watched the trailer, I didn’t get that in the trailer, maybe because I didn’t pay much attention to it. One thing is, I do not really watch action movies simply because I don’t like seeing people stab themselves, I do not like the sight of open wounds and excess bleeding, so, I really do not subscribe to action movie. But The Old Guard was everywhere,almost everyone was talking about it and the trailer was quite captivating and so I decided to see the movie and dear readers…. I was WOWED

Review
Let me put this out quickly, Andy(Charlize Theron) is such a Badass…Whattt!!! I totally loved her charisma.
This guys have supposedly been doing good by saving the lives of people for decades.But immortality is their sole superpower: they don’t have super-strength, or the ability to fly or be invisible. They are essentially no stronger and smarter than any of the ex-special-forces people that they wind up getting into fights with. It’s just that when you shoot or stab them, the wound heals up and they start over. 

Despite the familiarity in action, The Old Guard managed to be both very grounded and very entertaining, the infusion of expectations and twists made it interesting to follow. The movie was a bit predictable, at least ,you would be able to predict the resolution. Somethings in this movie weren’t predictable, the betrayal, who took part in it, even the incidents that came together to make up the resolution. The movie would keep you at the edge of your seat as it would keep you curious of what’s coming next.
Surprisingly, I didn’t find this movie boring at all. I kept looking forward to the next scene and the next and the next. I love the choice of locations, these locations had some details in them that even added to the story.

The casting was brilliant. The casts tried their possible best to interpret their characters well and this made it easy for the viewers to see through each character and understand their stories well. Nile Freeman(played by Kiki Layne) was so good with her character. I feel like I connected with her more in this movie. I totally loved her character, she was young, feirce, smart and determined. Loved loved it.
The scene where Nile and Andy got rid of merrick was just crazyyy!!! I didn’t see it coming but I definitely loved it.

Verdict
This movie deserves 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ but because I feel like we need some mythology explanation,I would rate this movie 4.5/5. Although, they kinda gave us an explanation in the movie,I just feel that explanation wasn’t convincing and it didn’t give us an in-depth knowledge of why and how they are immortal. I do hope we get a better explanation in the sequel, if there is going to be one. Apart from that, The Old Guard is a brilliant movie and I’m sure you would enjoy watching as much as I did.

The Old Guard is available on Netflix.
