The Old Guard

The old Guard
is about a group of ancient immortal warriors who have lived for centuries upon centuries and for some reason are unable to age or die. They have to live unnoticed and move around alot so that people will not know that they are immortals. The group of warriors consists of Andy (Chalize Theron) the leader and the oldest in  the group, Joe (Marwan Kenzari) and Nicky (Luca Marinelli) who are lovers and Booker (Matthias Schoenarts) the youngest who was found in 1812. Unknowingly to them, they have been tracked and monitored by Merrick (Harry Melling) an evil scientist who wants to use them as lab rats for his scientific experiments in creating a drug that will cause humans to be immortal. 
       Not only are they trying to escape from Merrick, the group found a new member.  Nile (Kiki Layne) an African American female U.S marine who was stationed in Afghanistan. Nile did not die even after her throat was slit in a combat. Not long after , Andy went to find her and bring her to join the group. The other immortals did their best to make Nile feel comfortable and the tried to make her understand what was happening even though they don't fully understand it.  Together the group of 5 try to defeat Merrick.
        One thing that is clear in this movie is team spirit. The group of immortals see themselves as family and they show great care and love to each other. Also,  Andy has great leadership qualities. She does not want the others to be harmed and she still feels guilty for their member who was brutally maltreated thousands of years ago  before she even found the others. Overall, I think this movie  is awesome and I highly recommend it although the fight scenes can be gruesome sometimes.
