The Old Guard

The Old Guard (2020) is a Netflix action fantasy you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood and led by Charlize Theron as a warrior who cannot die.

Andy, born Andromache of Scythia, has lived for thousands of years. Bullet wounds seal over in seconds, and death keeps refusing to take her. She runs a tiny crew of fighters with the same curse, slipping into other people's wars on behalf of whoever needs them most, always vanishing before anyone learns the truth. Then footage of one of their "deaths" leaks, and a US Marine named Nile turns up with a slit throat that healed on its own. The hunt is already on: a pharma executive wants to cut the immortals open and bottle whatever makes them tick.

Theron is joined by KiKi Layne, Matthias Schoenaerts, Marwan Kenzari, Luca Marinelli and Chiwetel Ejiofor. Greg Rucka adapted the script from his own graphic novel. The film leans less on effects than on the weary look of a woman who has buried too many friends. Stream The Old Guard (2020) online on iFILM.
