Charlize Theron’s ‘The Old Guard’ One of Netflix Most

Charlize Theron’s “The Old Guard” has cracked the Netflix Top 10 hottest Netflix movies ever checklist, the streamer introduced on social media Friday.

What can be of observe is that director Gina Prince-Bythewood is the primary Black feminine director to make the checklist. Additionally, the movie adaptation of the Greg Rucka graphic novel is presently on observe to succeed in 72 million households in its first month.

“THE OLD GUARD is breaking records!” NetflixMovie’s Twitter account introduced. “The Charlize Theron blockbuster is already among the top 10 most popular Netflix films ever — and Gina Prince-Bythewood is the first Black female director on the list. The film is currently on track to reach 72M households in its first 4 weeks!”

In his evaluation of the movie, TheWrap’s Steve Pond wrote: “‘The Old Guard,’ which premiered on Netflix on July 10, is a formidable hybrid. It’s based on a comic book series by Greg Rucka and Leandro Fernandez about a group of immortal warriors who have been spent centuries quietly dueling the worst people they can find on the planet, but for much of its two-hour running time it focuses not on the battles but on their melancholic aftermaths. It gives Charlize Theron another chance to kick serious butt, which we know she does very, very well, but what you might take away from her performance isn’t her ace stunt work but her haunted weariness.”
