Rucka wrote the screenplay for the film, which was directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood. [[Charlize Theron]] stars as Andy, the leader of an unnamed band of immortal warriors. Conceptually, the film combines elements of the popular '''[[Highlander]]''' franchise with the modern '''[[John_Wick|John Wick]]''' sensibility, presenting an entertaining take on the fantasy of humans that don't age and can't be killed. In a nod to the characters' extreme age (the main characters are all at least several hundred years old) several of them use quasi-historical weapons as well as contemporary firearms.

Trigger discipline is consistently poor the entire movie, a consequence of the character's ages. Andy is over twice as old as black powder, while Joe and Nicky fought the Second Crusade and Booker fought for Napoleon. Not only do they predate any concept of firearms safety, gunshots are a mild annoyance to an immortal.
