Anyway, I couldn’t sleep last night so I watched that new flick, The Old Guard, with Charlize Theron.
First off, it was pretty damned good. I’m not familiar with the source material so I don’t know how true they stayed to the original storyline.
Second, I’m thinking they must have used the same fight choreographer as the John Wick films. The fight scenes were very well done, over the top, and made prolific use of the gun-fu technique, of which I am a fan.
Lastly, oh my gods Charlize Theron is amazing! She has become one of the most consistently bankable action stars over the last 7 years or so. From Mad Max to Atomic Blonde to this film, she has carved out an amazing shelf atop the pantheon of action heroes and I am all about it. I could literally watch her film target practice scenes and be impressed.
Worth a watch
