A dull suburban dad turns out to be a hitman in retirement.
This has been done a thousand times before as comedies, dramas, thrillers and Manga.
But I still think there is a little space for this.
The slight twist here is that Mark Wahlberg really leans into the satisfaction of having a good life.
In a sea of inspirational films, where every character saves the world before breakfast, it is a little refreshing to have a main character who just wants to be happy with his family.
Saying that, there is a lot of action here with plenty of shoot-outs and car crashes.
The main joke is that Mark tries to keep the truth from his family as long as possible and it does add to the hijinks.
There is nothing new here but it is honest to what it is, there are no hidden themes or unexpected twists just a fun family action movie.
The violence is quite tame and slapstick - you never see what happens to the motorcycle riders as they fly off screen to their doom and when people are shot they just lie down as if taking a little nap.
Take this for what it is and you will have fun.
