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.
Last Chance (2023)
In a world that is consumed by fake news, Eddie Lowry is an idealist who has been squeezed out of San Diego's mainstream media because of his daring refusal to change into a click bait or sensational journalist. When the truth-seeking reporter begins to gain notoriety on back page blogs for his journalistic integrity, an off-the-books FBI-SDPD joint task force discovers that he could be their key to uncovering a case of corruption and by a subsequent quick stroke of luck, Eddie literally collides into the woman of his dreams, and finds that she could become his key to breaking out back into the mainstream. But Eddie soon finds himself in over his head, when the case of corruption converges into his personal life and he's forced to make the ultimate choice--sacrifice his values...or everything else.
