Production

The film is based on a book by the same name by Jack Early.

Delany said that the story appealed to her because "it was the relationship between the two that interested me. We see so many movies now about serial killers, it's really being overdone, so I wanted to emphasize the relationship between father and daughter."

Also she liked that they were no romantic subplot by saying "why is it that in every movie, there has to be a male female thing going on? Why can't it be about a woman and her family and her work? That was the challenge because you want her to be strong and capable, but you also don't want her to be one-dimensional."

Finally she accepted the project because she wanted to work with Charles Bronson. Of the actor she said she "wanted to work with Charles Bronson because he's kind of an icon. It was fun, but he's a tough nut to crack, not easy to get to know. But underneath it all he's a very sweet man, and quite funny."

On his performance Delany added "you watch Charlie with a gun in his hands and you know he's done it so many times, it's so natural to him, this is probably the most talking he's done in a while. He got down. There's an emotional confrontation between us. He did not try to avoid it." She also added that when things got tense on set Bronson would perform impromptu musical numbers to ease the atmosphere.
