I like a good action flick, and one with the theme of how tedious and painful immortality might be seemed pretty intriguing. OLD GUARD has its moments, but was not as great as I was hoping. However there was a short scene where a male poetically explains the depths of his love for his lover, another male, both having spent centuries together and still madly in love, that was a first and I deeply appreciated it.
The other reason to watch this movie is the women. Charlize Theron is just amazing, her performance alone worth watching. But then there's Kiki Layne, glorious to watch in action. And Van Veronica Ngo is too little used but a thrill to see in her action scenes as well (and the coda implies we'll see more of her in the sequel).
