If you find yourself twiddling your thumbs while perusing Netflix’s endless gallery of shows, stop the headache and check out The Old Guard starring Charlize Theron.
The Old Guard is based on the acclaimed graphic novel by Greg Rucka and it tells the story of a lady warrior and a covert group of tight-knit mercenaries.
Andy (played by Charlize Theron) also known as Andromache of Scythia, has been around for 6,000 years and has fought in thousands of battles over the years. Safe to say, she has been and seen a lot of s**t.
Andy and her band of mercenaries are formidable because they have their mysterious inability to die. They have also protected the mortal world for centuries.
When their extraordinary abilities were exposed, it’s up to Andy and Nile (played by KiKi Layne), the newest soldier to joint heir ranks, to help the group eliminate the threat. Their enemy seeks to replicate and monetize their power by any means necessary.
Rounding up the rest of the cast are Chiwetel Ejiofor, Marwan Kenzari, Luca Marinelli, Harry Melling, Van Veronica Ngo and Matthias Schoenaerts.
The Old Guard written by Greg Rucka and directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood promises an action-packed, breathtaking and profound viewing journey.
The Old Guard will be shown on Netflix on July 10.
