Movie Reviews

  • not even Charlize Theron can save an action movie crying out for a comic touch to match the silliness of its premise
    2 of 5 by Peter Bradshaw [The Guardian ]
  • if you like your superhero comic-book movies with a truckload of angst on the side, "The Old Guard" might be just what you're looking for
    by Steve Pond [The Wrap ]
  • despite the familiarity, "The Old Guard" manages to be both very grounded and very entertaining, a marriage of expectations and twists unlike little else the genre has inspired even during its most fruitful times
    Review rate : B+ by Kate Erbland [IndieWire ]
  • despite some solid action beats and a story that skips from Sudan to Afghanistan, Paris and, finally, Guildford, "The Old Guard" is a trite revenge/conspiracy yarn, clumsily told, and squanders a potentially engaging conceit
    2 of 5 by James Dyer [Empire Magazine ]
  • despite an appealingly nutty premise and a reliably game Charlize Theron, "The Old Guard" can't escape the trappings of its generic plotting, expository dialogue, and underwhelming action
    2.5 of 5 by Shaun Munro [Flickering Myth ]
  • an astutely balanced blend of involving drama and visceral action; Led with take-charge authority by Charlize Theron, flanked by a breakout turn from KiKi Layne, this is unusually soulful superhero material firmly rooted in real-world situations
    by David Rooney [The Hollywood Reporter ]
  • "The Old Guard" offers plenty of exciting action and fun character beats to keep viewers hooked even when the story screeches to a halt; It's an excellent escape for fans of the comics, superhero movies and anything with slick action scenes
    3.5 of 5 by Molly Freeman [ScreenRant ]
  • "The Old Guard" is an entertaining action romp that utilises the star-power of Charlize Theron but still remains a formulaic and superficial piece of work
    3 of 5 by Lewis Knight [Daily Mirror (UK) ]
