The Old Guard (2020)
5/10
Show don't tell!

This is nowhere near as much fun as it should be.

It could be a modern day Highlander instead it drowns under a sea of ennui and weariness. The supporting characters are under written and forgettable, largely due to the lack of any proper backstory, the villain is dull and unthreatening and the (limited number of) action sequences are flat and poorly shot.

Some more flashbacks instead of endless exposition and some better action choreography could have made this a fun watch. As it is not even Charlize Theron can save this.
