What critics said

What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Hutch Mansell appears to be an overlooked suburban father before his dormant assassin skills and double life surface.
The film emphasizes enjoyably absurd fights, gunplay, explosions, and dry humor rather than strictly realistic combat.
The home invasion intensifies Hutch's alienation from Becca and Blake while triggering his midlife rage and need to stop being underestimated.
Hutch's quiet family home and commuter life collide with secret organizations, lethal skills, and a Russian mafia adversary.
