'The Old Guard 2' Review: Charlize Theron Returns in Action-Packed Netflix Sequel
Charlize Theron and her group of butt-kicking immortals return in a Netflix sequel that's loaded with star power but severely uneven in its execution. The Old Guard 2 builds on its predecessor's ancient mythological lore and packs a punch with slick fight choreography and big-budget action scenes in exotic locales. But all that eye candy struggles to overcome a poorly developed and predictable narrative loaded with plot inconsistencies and a surprisingly underwhelming villain. Uma Thurman adds headline heft, but is strangely absent and not nearly as mysterious as the script demands. This results in a film that strains for mediocrity when there was meat on the bone for a far more substantive experience.
