The Old Guard
been made 20 years ago, it would probably have featured a past-his-prime Arnold Schwarzenegger as the head of its group of immortal warriors. The fact that the movie’s action leads are both female shows that Hollywood has moved on a bit during the intervening decades. Unfortunately, little else is cutting edge about a script that feels like a throwback to a time before action cinema was dominated by comic book superheroes.
