Netflix’s The Old Guard (2020)
I've been excited for this film since its trailer dropped last May… luckily, unlike theatrical releases that's getting delayed indefinitely [even those as huge as Chris Nolan's TENET], a Netflix release is a guarantee.

It's a testament of a truly good film when two weeks after I saw it I'm still thinking about it fondly and can't wait to see it again. I mentioned in this post that I had been anticipating this film for a couple of reasons, but deep down I still wished it'd be good as …
