The Old Guard

6.2/10 stinky bananas

Cool concept, poor execution. This movie could have leaped from a mediocre action flick to a top notch comic book movie with a half decent script and some better acting.

The Old Guard had some sweet kills. Breaking necks and cashing checks baby. But with the whole immortal warriors thing, I wanted to see some fucking medieval shit. I wanted to see these 3000 year old killers use cool weapons of the past rather than running around with little submachine guns.

Speaking of which, I wanted to see way more of the "old" stuff than they showed. They gave us little glimpses in the form of flashbacks, but to me, that was the most interesting part.

If you have a couple hours to kill, it might be worth the watch.
