THE OLD GUARD Loads up on Netflix on July 10th. Ever notice how none of the bad guys ever seems to think stuff like this through? “Hey! I’m an amoral, power-hungry mortal that needs to get a bunch of immortal warriors to do something for me! Whoops! They don’t want to do it! Better get control of ’em and make ’em do it anyhow, because I betcha NOBODY’S EVER TRIED THIS BEFORE.”
It makes you wonder, doesn’t it? Then again, who wants to watch a movie about a bunch of immortal warriors being approached for a job, refusing it — and then getting paid a big, fat retainer to fly to the Riviera for three months while never checking social media? Yeah, I guess nobody wants to watch that. Although it’d make for one heck of a sex comedy. They still make those, right?
