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.

Aziza is a beautiful dancer from Mansoura, after she rejects the mayor's son who loves her, he deforms her face. She travels to Cairo and runs a cabaret, and falls in love with one of the clients. She meets a doctor who performs plastic surgery on her, giving her a chance to start over.

Gritty and bleak are the best words to describe this film. There’s nothing happy about it.
Director Dana Ziyasheva made her directorial debut, 'Defenders of Life' which focuses on the Ngäbe community, and the hardships Ngäbe girls faced in Costa Rica.
Deborah (Jean Smart) and Ava (Hannah Einbinder) are a delight to watch evolve, sometimes devolve, then evolve again.
The film does not add anything to its own conversation or genre, and falls flat once it’s about to end and must declare some sort of conclusion.
