I’ll watch anything with Theron, but, based purely on this first trailer alone, “The Old Guard” isn’t doing it for me. It just looks … middle-of-the-road. An adaptation of the graphic novel—written by Greg Rucka and illustrated by Leandro Fernandez—of the same name, it plays in the trailer like a fairly standard sci-fi actioneer, but I’m ready to be proven wrong, especially with Theron and Prince-Blythewood involved. Back in the late ‘90s, Theron was deemed “too beautiful” to truly make it as an exemplary actress in the industry, but boy were people wrong about that. She’s built up a considerable filmography over the years, with great performances in films such as “Tully,” “Young Adult,” “Mad Max: Fury Road,” “North Country,” and “Monster.” Here’s the synopsis for “The Old Guard”: “The Old Guard” has its Netflix premiere on July 10.
