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.

Well, I remember reaching about what that novel was about and was immediately hooked. So a headstrong woman in …
