    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      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.
    • Goofs
      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.
    • Quotes

      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]

    Thoroughly enjoyable - except the soundtrack

    Really loved the action, the acting and the melancholy feel to it all, much better than just an average action flick, except unfortunately for the incredibly stupid and jarring popsongs which ruin some scenes. Please please please just a decent score for (hopefully) part two. Other than that, really no complaints.
