Hello friends, I'm here to share another fascinating movie I watched on Netflix title The old Guard and I would like to share with you here.

The movie is about a group of mercenaries, all centuries-old immortals with the ability to heal themselves, discover someone is onto their secret, and they must fight to protect their freedom.

Andromache of Scythia, Booker, Joe, and Nicky are centuries-old warriors with unexplained regenerative healing abilities who use their vast experience to work as mercenaries, taking missions that help people.

Breaking their rule of never working for the same employers twice, they accept a job from a former CIA operative to rescue a group of kidnapped girls in South Sudan.

During the mission, which proves to be a ruse, they are ambushed and killed. After quickly recovering and killing their attackers, they realize that their employers set them up and remotely filmed their regeneration.

Meanwhile, in Afghanistan, U.S. Marine Nile Freeman has her throat slit while taking down a military target during a house search, only to recover without a scratch.

Later, she shares a disturbing dream with the other immortals, who are then alerted to her existence as they experience dreams of any new immortals until found.

She tracks down a confused Nile and extracts her from Afghanistan before military personnel can transfer her for further testing.

Their employer shows the video of the ambush to a pharmaceutical executive, who sends operatives to capture the team.

She brings her to a safe house in France, where she meets the rest of their team. The group shares some of their past and reveals that they are not truly immortal.

Their ability to heal eventually stops unexpectedly, which happened to a previous immortal.

She is also told about the female immortal, the first of Andy's comrades who was captured, accused of witchcraft and lost to them when cast somewhere into the sea in a place Iron Maiden and has been continually drowning ever since.

The group is ambushed by Merrick's forces; two members are captured, while a seemingly deceased one is left behind.

While he regenerates, Andy kills all of their assailants but is wounded and realizes she is not healing. He locates their employer, while Nile separates from the group to reunite with her family.

Andy and him confront their employer, only for him to betray her and shoot her, arguing that Merrick might find a way to end the immortality they have both grown weary of.

As they are captured, however, He realizes that Andy is not healing. Their employer has a change of heart when he sees that Merrick is willing to torture the immortals indefinitely to study them.

Nile, having realized he sold out the group, arrives too late to intervene, but she convinces their employer to assist her in a rescue mission.

Do you think she will be able to rescue the rest of the immortals from the Merrick? Find out how it turns out as she engaged in saving other immortals.

Thanks for reading my post.
