Greg Rucka's wrote an interesting premise of a story that might be better told in the comics medium. The movie on the other hand feels like The A Team meets The Highlander, except with a terrible choice of music. Every time one of the bad taste songs or background music plays, it takes me away from the story build up or immersion. The protagonist, Nile Freeman, is the least interesting character that pales in comparison with the four Old Guards.
We wanted to know more about these Old Guards but we saw very little of their intriguing past, and by the end of the film, we are made to feel that all of these are just a prelude to something that could be more interesting. Alas, I won't be tuning in for any sequel given that this is nowhere near the level of Kingsman: The Secret Service.
Disappointing movie, bad music with a few good action sequences. No doubt inspired by Equilibrium and John Wick.
