The Old Guard

What to Know

Critics Consensus

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.

Soraya Nadia McDonald Andscape Jan 20, 2021
Given a team of highly regarded actors in Charlize Theron, Chiwetel Ejiofor and KiKi Layne, Prince-Bythewood delivers both satisfying, high-octane fights and a proper storyline to stitch them together. Go to Full Review

4/5
None of this would work without someone like Gina Prince-Bythewood behind the lens. Go to Full Review
Robbie Collin Daily Telegraph (UK) Nov 22, 2020
3/5
It's a film that's rewarding to spend time with, with a substance-over-style approach that's entirely commendable, and all too rare in films of this type. Go to Full Review

[Director] Gina Prince-Bythewood did a good job of not conforming to the typical action tropes by only have men kick butt. Go to Full Review
Emmet Asher-Perrin Reactor Jul 28, 2025
[The Old Guard] is easily one of the better films of this genre in the past decade, and deserved a theatrical release. It also deserves a sequel, so do the world a solid and add to their ratings by giving it a watch. Go to Full Review
Terry Staunton Radio Times Jul 11, 2025
2/5
The result is an uninvolving, stop-start narrative that lacks the wit or flair of the Marvel superhero movie stable. Go to Full Review
