It pays off, delivering a thrilling action movie that doesn’t disregard your brain. Even better, this is a movie that tugs at your emotions without the need for swelling strings or sentiment to convince you. Read more

It’s got a heart as big as the big action pieces, and I’m sure glad to see a group of bad-ass superheroes with such a diverse cast. Read more

The Old Guard is exactly the type of R-rated summer fun that is needed to be consumed, mixing an interesting concept with decent action and adventure. The film struggles to feel anything but one-note at times, yet I can't stop hoping for a sequel. It's a mixed bag of effective fun and familiar thrills.

What The Old Guard lacks in well-paced, tightly plotted story, it more than makes up for with compelling characters and slick, thrilling fight scenes. Read more

The Old Guard is stylishly directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood, but it struggles to get off the ground due to the script’s inability to develop these characters in a real meaningful way. Read more

The Old Guard may appear a little rough around the edges, due, in part, to the familiar story and the film’s pacing issues, this superhero action flick has plenty of franchise-potential, as it features solid worldbuilding, as well as character relationships about which you actually care. Read more

As for the premise, of course, you may find it repetitive and predictable. But when it comes to films like The Old Guard we should not set extremely high expectations rather sit back and enjoy the action. Read more

The narrative screws might not be the tightest, but its aim is deadly enough to draw you in. Read more

Every time the action gets going, demonstrating a knack for modern choreography, the intrusive soundtrack kicks in, distracting with a pitifully incompatible lineup of popular tunes, which induces cringes rather than awe. Read more

With an A-list star and a globe-trotting narrative, The Old Guard has the trappings of the modern tentpole action movie, but it's very much straight to video schlock. Read more

The Old Guard weet heel veel goed te doen, maar kiest ook een paar keer de makkelijke weg en er zitten ook een paar foutjes in (voor de oplettende kijker). Gelukkig zit het snor met de casting en is de actie overtuigend in beeld gebracht. Hierdoor blijft The Old Guard zeker een aanrader voor de actieliefhebbers en biedt het genoeg potentie voor een aantal vervolgen... Read more

De film blijft op twee (manke) benen hinken en wordt bovendien ondersteund door wat volgens mij de meest irritante soundtrack van de 21ste eeuw moet zijn. Read more

Een avondje redelijk vermaak met hier en daar een aantal creatief-opgezette gevechten maken dit een krappe voldoende. Read more
