Decent, mindless fun
I get the low reviews for this movie. To a film buff or someone looking for a traditionally good film, it lacks a lot..
That said, I liked it. It's fun. It's unrealistic, has some decent action, and a few scenes that'll make you laugh. No, it isn't Citizen Kane, but it's mindlessly entertaining.
My biggest gripe is the casting I guess. I love Kevin James, but as a super skilled fighter/assassin? Eh. And why does the daughter look older than the mom? It doesn't work because of how 'teen mouth off' the character is supposed to be, and feels odd. Surely they could have found someone younger...
