First comic film adaptation trailers The old guard They promised an immersion in the bright world of action and unusual characters with a touch of solid supernatural. AND Netflixwho already had successful experience with “Phantom Six“And”Tyler rake”, It only remained to tighten up the script of the literary principle itself.
Instead, the producers invited to the director’s chair Gina Prince Whitewoodknown for good melodrama “Love and basketball“And a completely failed series”Cloak and Dagger“. At the output, we got a template project from the 80s with emphasis on the SJW agenda.
According to the plot idea, somewhere in the world there are immortals who do not even know the reasons for the acquired invulnerability. Over the centuries of world history, all of them were found and united in the forward squad of Andromache Skitsky, which is played by Charlize Theron.
The goal of the defenders is to help people in difficult situations and save them from injustice, but once Andromache and her fighters become victims of treacherous betrayal. The operation in the Sudan to save children turns into a disaster, and somewhere else in Afghanistan appears another immortal – the black woman Niall.
A two-hour canvas, instead of action and interesting characters, offers snotty experiences of the immortals with rare intersperses of a not-so-memorable firearm ballet. Yes, and that is not realistic and made more likely for the entourage.
At the next plot drift, the film finally turns into a gay drama about the sincere feelings of the crusader and Saracen with soulful monologues about great love.
Of course, the hot MILF Charlize Theron is still having difficulty, but she is carrying this whole chest with a rainbow on her back, but it is not clear why to spend time on this. It’s frankly boring to look at a hackneyed scenario, caricatured villains and flat characters. And the open ending with the teaser once again suggests that Gina Prince-Whitewood was shooting a pilot episode for the next faded series instead of a normal film.
“Immortal Guard“Is a boring, drawn-out film based on the patterns of the 80s, adjusted for the modern SJW agenda. Two gay men, two strong women, a white traitor that you will forget about quickly enough. The only bright spot in the picture is the episode with the Russian pilot and Charlize Theron, who gulps a bottle of vodka and bites baklava, but this is clearly not enough.
