Starring as an immortal warrior who leads a group of fellow impossible-to-kill mercenaries through the dark corners of the modern-day military-industrial complex, Theron takes every opportunity to punch, kick, maim and murder, all while cars crash and buildings burn around her. With Netflix’s new film The Old Guard, Theron adds to her kick-butt oeuvre. Mad Max: Fury Road, Atomic Blonde, The Fate of the Furious – all bananas in the best kind of way, and all vastly improved by the presence and driving determination of Theron. For reasons best kept to herself, the performer has decided to split her career over the past decade into three distinct, never overlapping spheres: prestige dramas that actresses of her calibre have to produce every now and then to keep Oscar talk alive ( Bombshell, Tully), comedies that tease and twist expectations of the genre ( Long Shot, Young Adult), and high-octane action flicks that are as ridiculous as they are indispensable. Thank the movie gods for Charlize Theron.
