Plot

edit

Andromache "Andy" of Scythia, Booker, Joe, and Nicky are millenia-old warriors with unexplained regenerative healing abilities who use their vast experience to work as mercenaries, taking missions to help people. They accept a job from former CIA operative James Copley to rescue a group of kidnapped girls in South Sudan, breaking their rule of never working for the same employer twice.

The mission proves to be a ruse, and they are ambushed and killed. They realize that Copley set them up to remotely film their regeneration after quickly recovering and killing their attackers.

Meanwhile, in Afghanistan, U.S. Marine Nile Freeman is killed by having her throat slit while taking down a military target during a house search, but recovers and heals without a scratch. Later, she shares a disturbing dream with the other immortals, who are then alerted to her existence, as they experience dreams of any new immortals until found. Andy tracks down a confused Nile and extracts her from Afghanistan before military personnel can transfer her for further testing.

Copley shows the video of the ambush to pharmaceutical executive Steven Merrick, who sends operatives to capture the team. Andy brings Nile to a safe house in France, where she meets Booker, Joe, and Nicky.

The group shares some of their past and reveals that they are not fully immortal: their ability to heal eventually stops without warning. They share that this happened to a previous immortal, Lykon. That night, Nile dreams about repeatedly drowning in an iron maiden. When she shares her dream with the others they tell her about Quynh, the first immortal aside from herself that Andy's found, who was sentenced for witchcraft and cast into the sea in an iron maiden approximately 500 years previously. The other immortals have been unable to locate her, and she has been continuously drowning ever since.

The group is soon ambushed by Merrick's forces. Joe and Nicky are captured while a seemingly deceased Booker is left behind. Upon discovering the attack, Andy kills all of the remaining assailants while Booker recuperates, but she's mildly wounded and realizes she isn't healing. She hides this from Booker and Nile. Booker locates Copley, and Nile separates from the group to reunite with her family.

Meanwhile, Joe and Nicky are transported to Merrick Pharmaceutical's headquarters in London. The paramilitary forces that are guarding them attack them when they kiss each other in the transport van, and Joe and Nicky kill all the paramilitaries in the back of the van with them off-screen, but do not escape the van. They are transported to Merrick's headquarters, where they are strapped down and tortured in the lab to observe their regeneration and take tissue samples.

Andy and Booker confront Copley, but Booker betrays Andy and shoots her, arguing that Merrick might find a way to end the immortality they have both grown weary of. Booker realizes that Andy is not healing as they are captured. Simultaneously, Nile discovers evidence that Booker sold out the group, but she arrives too late to intervene. Booker and Andy are brought to Merrick Pharmaceuticals and are both strapped down beside Joe and Nicky.

Copley has a change of heart when he sees that Merrick is primarily motivated by greed and sadism, not medical advancement, and is planning to kill Andy and torture all of them indefinitely; primarily to prevent rival pharmaceutical companies from discovering proprietary trade secrets. Later, Nile confronts Copley and he agrees to assist her in a rescue mission.

With Copley's help locating them, Nile storms Merrick's London headquarters and frees the four other group members. They fight their way out through the rest of Merrick's security, culminating in Nile killing Merrick by grabbing him and jumping out of a window. All five of them, including the no-longer-immortal Andy, make it out.

The group sentences Booker to loneliness as punishment for his betrayal, and forbids him from contacting them for 100 years. Booker and Andy say goodbye to each other. Andy, Nicky, Joe, and Nile meet with Copley, who explains how his research revealed their past missions had a greater effect than they ever knew, including how the descendants of people they had rescued went on to help the world in many different ways. They task Copley with the job of using his skills and job with the CIA to cover their tracks going forward, and with assisting to position them into roles where they will have the largest positive impact.

In an epilogue set six months later in Paris, a depressed and drunken Booker stumbles into his apartment to find Quynh waiting for him.

Development

edit

In March 2017, Skydance Media obtained the rights to adapt the comic The Old Guard, written by Greg Rucka and illustrated by Leandro Fernandez, into a film.[7] Rucka's contract stipulated that a major scene highlighting the romance between the characters Joe and Nicky from the book had to be kept in the film adaptation.[8]

In July 2018, they hired Gina Prince-Bythewood to direct with Rucka adapting his book to screenplay and Skydance's David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Don Granger producing.[9] With a budget of about $70 million, Prince-Bythewood became the first black woman to direct a big-budget comic book film.[3] In March 2019, Netflix obtained worldwide rights to the film and agreed to finance it with Skydance. Charlize Theron joined the film and also produced with Beth Kono, A.J. Dix, Marc Evans and Skydance's David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Don Granger.[10]

KiKi Layne was confirmed to star in the film after Netflix picked up the rights. In May 2019, Marwan Kenzari, Matthias Schoenaerts, and Luca Marinelli joined the cast.[11][12] In June 2019, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Harry Melling and Veronica Ngo joined the cast.[13] At Ngo's request, details of her character were changed from the comic book. In an interview, Rucka said, "When Veronica was cast, she said I'm not Japanese, I'm Vietnamese. [Director Gina Prince-Bythewood] reached out to me and said 'Can we accommodate that?' and I was like, 'Absolutely.' [...] Noriko becomes Quynh, Quynh is now Vietnamese. It really was as simple as wanting to honor that, and be respectful of that".[14] The other change to the character was the character's death. "In the comic, Quynh/Noriko is washed overboard during a storm rather than deliberately drowned. According to Rucka, that was partially a logistical change to save money. [...] But Quynh’s new 'death,' solidified by Prince-Bythewood’s suggestion of the iron maiden imagery, served an important narrative and tonal role as well".[14]

Filming

edit
 
Filming at Bourne Wood in Surrey during August 2019

Principal photography began in Europe in mid-May 2019.[15][16] Filming took place in Morocco and the United Kingdom, including at Shepperton Studios in England.[17] Sandwich in Kent was used for the French town Goussainville. Sandwich's Discovery Park doubled as Merrick Pharmaceutical headquarters.[18] Filming in the famous pub Prospect of Whitby took place on July 10, 2019.[19]

Volker Bertelmann and Dustin O'Halloran composed the film's score. Lakeshore Records released the soundtrack on July 10, 2020, coinciding with the film's streaming release.[20]

Release

edit

The Old Guard was released on July 10, 2020 on Netflix.[21] It was the top-streamed item on the site over its first weekend.[22] It ranked second and fourth the following two weekends.[23][24]

On July 17, Netflix reported the film was on pace to be viewed by 72 million households over its first four weeks, among the top 10 most-successful original launches in the platform's history.[25] That October, Netflix reported the actual figure to have been 78 million.[26][27] In November, Variety reported the film was the seventh-most watched straight-to-streaming title of 2020 up to that point.[28][27] In December, The A.V. Club reported that due to "the way Netflix operates, we don't even know whether The Old Guard is a hit in any measurable sense. Netflix itself claims that 78 million households have watched it, and I have no idea whether that's a good number".[27]

Reception

Critical response

edit

On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 80% based on 285 reviews, with an average rating of 6.5/10. The site's critics consensus reads: "The Old Guard is occasionally restricted by genre conventions, but director Gina Prince-Bythewood brings a sophisticated vision to the superhero genre - and some knockout action sequences led by Charlize Theron."[29] At Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 70 out of 100, based on 45 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[30]

Kate Erbland of IndieWire gave the film a "B+" and said: "Steeped in hand-to-hand action... but with enough ballistic firepower to kit out a small civil war, every action sequence is more than awe-inspiring; they're necessary to the film itself. Superhero battles that are eye popping and narratively motivated? Oh, yeah."[31] Owen Gleiberman of Variety called the film a "watchable franchise wannabe" and wrote: "Chunks of the picture are logy and formulaic (it dawdles on for two hours), but the director, Gina Prince-Bythewood (making a major lane change after Love & Basketball and The Secret Life of Bees), stages the fight scenes with ripe executionary finesse, and she teases out a certain soulful quality in her cast."[32] Bob Chipman of The Escapist gave the film 7 out of 10 and said: "This is a clever, slick, progressive minded, yet also brutally violent, frequently kick ass action film" and that "they clearly want it to be a franchise, I'd certainly watch another one."[33] Tom Breihan, for The A.V. Club, wrote, "The Old Guard is a superhero story; it’s just one of the many superhero stories that attempts to subvert superhero stories. [...] Though The Old Guard tackles superhero-movie clichés in interesting ways, it has more difficulty with the emerging conventions of the Netflix movie".[27]

The film's portrayal of LGBT characters within the superhero genre was praised. Kevin Fallon of The Daily Beast said that The Old Guard "is the first movie with out gay superheroes, or the extremely (extremely) rare action film to feature queer characters and acknowledge their romance. [...] The sexuality of the characters is matter-of-fact and inconsequential to their ability to kick total-and-complete ass, yet also given the dignity of expressing and showing their love".[34] Benjamin Lee, for The Guardian, wrote that "in 2020, it really shouldn't be such a big deal, but watching a form of unfettered queer love exist within the confines of a fantastical comic book adaptation, aimed at a wide audience, felt major to me."[35] Anna Menta of Decider wrote:

"I hadn't read The Old Guard comic, and I didn't know that writer Greg Rucka had stipulated in his contract that, whenever or however the film got made, it had to include that scene. So when it happened, well, it felt—and still does feel—like a huge freakin' deal. [...] It's just as passionate, just as charged, and just as sensual as Han and Leia, Peter and MJ, Peeta and Katniss, or any other heterosexual couple who's had a big kiss moment in an action movie over the years".[36]

Sequel

edit
Main article: The Old Guard 2

On the coda preceding The Old Guard's credits, Rucka said, "In case of sequel, break glass. It's very straightforward. You want another one? Here's a way to get into it".[14] A sequel to the original graphic novel, The Old Guard: Force Multiplied, was published in 2019.[14] Theron has expressed her interest in a second film, saying: "Let's have a little resting period, but just given the fact that all of us really want to do it, I'm sure when it's the right time, we'll start the conversation."[25][49]

It was reported on January 27, 2021 that Netflix had greenlit a sequel.[50] On August 26, it was announced that Victoria Mahoney would replace Prince-Bythewood as director for the sequel. Theron, Layne, Schoenaerts, Kenzari, Marinelli, Ngo, and Ejiofor will reprise their roles from the first movie.[51] In June 2022, Uma Thurman and Henry Golding were cast in undisclosed roles.[52] At least part of the film was shot at the Italian Cinecittà Studios, with a fire in August 2022 causing temporary disruption to filming.[53][54]
