The Old Guard (2020)
8/10
Charlize is in top form in this thought provoking film
13 July 2020
Ms Theron is one of a small number of women doing action movies, but many have been less than convincing. Not this one, she is more convincing than ever. The moves she executes are impressive and believable. They fit the plot very well and make some of the philosophical questions stand out even more. The one I found central is the idea that someone with an unusual capability may not have the right to deny scientists the ability to study it for the benefit of all, or so they claim. Obviously it would also be very lucrative.

I enjoyed the whole team that Charlize is engaged with though it seemed to be going out of its way to be socially relevant. Normally that would turn me off, but these guys and gals manage to rise above their tokenism.
