Wissenswertes
Greg Rucka wrote the first draft screenplay, but when Charlize Theron came aboard, she had a number of issues with it. These were raised in a conference call with Theron, which Rucka described as "one of the worst experiences of my career." He did another rewrite but was then fired. Theron's production company commissioned a new script from new writers but Netflix hated that version. When Gina Prince-Bythewood came on board, she recommissioned Rucka, who was able to patch up his differences with Theron.

Patzer
When the female Marine character named Nile has her throat cut the other Marine calls for a Medic, repeatedly. Marines receive medical treatment from Navy hospital corpsmen, but the filmmakers may have used the more recognizable term "medic" because an average viewer may not know this.

Zitate
Soldier: What is he? Your boyfriend?
Joe: You're a child. An infant. Your mocking is thus infantile. He's not my boyfriend. This man is more to me than you can dream. He's the moon when I'm lost in darkness and warmth when I shiver in cold. And his kiss still thrills me, even after a millennia. His heart overflows with the kindness of which this world is not worth of. I love this man beyond measure and reason. He's not my boyfriend. He's all and he's more.
Nicky: You're an incurable romantic.
[Joe and Nicky kiss in front of the stunned guards]

Crazy Credits
Close-ups of the items on the bulletin board with the evidence of the immortal people is seen in the background during the first part of the credits, followed by a scene of video evidence of one of the scenes in the movie being deleted.

Entertaining, would have been a better series

Easy viewing, great fight choreography and action scenes. The plot was simply and predictably executed but remained entertaining throughout. Great individual performances but would of been better as a series to allow for some proper character development.
