‘The Old Guard 2’ Review: Charlize Theron Leads Her Team of Immortals in Another, Lesser Battle
The action is mostly overshadowed by the question of who's going to live forever in a schlock sequel that takes itself inordinately seriously.
Andy ( Charlize Theron), in sunglasses and dark hair, is leading her team — I call them the I-Team, because they’re immortal and kick ass — as they infiltrate a villa swarming with guards, who they dispatch in one-on-one confrontations, mostly by stabbing them to death. Quynh is now seeking vengeance on Andy and the world, a quest that has allied her with a new character named Discord, who also comes from the past but is played by Uma Thurman with a corporate hauteur that doesn’t exactly make her seem like someone who came up through the Middle Ages. Chiwetel Ejiofor, as Copley the CIA agent turned I-Team ally, lends his crisp panache to lines like “It would be ill-advised to discharge any firearm in the vicinity of the core.” The core, in this case, refers to a Chinese nuclear reactor, hidden in Indonesia, that Discord has threatened to blow up.
