Netflix’s ‘The Old Guard’ is an Entertaining Flick
"The Old Guard" doesn't break ground, but it sure does bust boredom and fictional heads as an entertaining action romp on Netflix.
Elsewhere/Forward
It is a story about loneliness and trying to hold on to memories. The overwhelming emotions shown in the movie come together to create a nostalgic feeling understood by all. The film mostly takes place inside a car, during a conversation between two friends,Edd & Seb. The character of Edd, played by the director Eduardo Garcia, seems to be lost within the chaos of his own mind, unexpectedly being transported to different memories. These memories represent a journey of difficult emotions, including: the struggle with abandonment, the need for family, the absence of home, and unrealized love. Seb, played by Tayo Sonuga, is the anchor that keeps Edd grounded. His dialogue lights the way when Edd is trapped in a dark place, reminding him that everything will be okay.
