Glen D. Fun premise. Not a recycled story or remake. Very entertaining Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/22/25 Full Review Joe M If you mixed the Highlander story without the sword-fighting. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/11/25 Full Review Audience Member First and foremost, this film is a Netflix production, which is why it's best to keep expectations low. Nevertheless, the cast led by Charlize Theron delivers a fantasy action film that, while very generic in parts, features strong and charismatic characters who also score points with a certain depth. Spoilers follow from here on. The central plot of the film revolves around a group of involuntarily immortal warriors who have made it their mission to fight for the welfare of humanity. As mentioned, the whole thing is not particularly original and the plot is also quite predictable. Nevertheless, the group led by Andy (Charlize Theron) and Booker (Matthias Schoenaerts) manages to build a connection with the audience and portray the torments that eternal life can bring in a relatable way. The couple Nicky (Luca Marinelli) and Joe (Marwan Kenzari) in particular feel very natural despite the unnatural circumstances. The greatest strength, apart from the characters, is the film's social criticism, which is mainly represented by the despicable CEO Merrick (Harry Melling). The criticism of the pharmaceutical industry and the natural human desire to live longer, although not very subtle, is brought to the point without beating around the bush and without pushing an agenda. The only downside is that Harry Melling once again fails to shine in a role other than that of Dudley Dursley from Harry Potter. In conclusion, it must be said that the film, although very predictable, is an entertaining experience with a good message at its heart. Some interesting questions are left unanswered, which will hopefully be addressed in the sequel, which has already been released.
