Oh my god, we're British.....

Dan Morgan loves his quiet suburban life as a devoted husband, father of three and successful car salesman.

But that's only half the story. Decades earlier, he was an elite government assassin tasked with eliminating the world's deadliest threats.

When enemies from his past track him down, Dan packs his family into their minivan and takes off on an impromptu cross-country road trip to Las Vegas.

Determined to protect his family....while treating them to the vacation of a lifetime.....Dan must put his long-dormant skills into action, without revealing his true identity.....

Have you ever wondered what would happen if a studio like Apple spent loads of money on a film that was True Lies mixed with National Lampoons Vacation?

Well wonder no more, because here it is, and no one asked for it, and because of that, it's pretty enjoyable fluff.

Wahlberg spends his time not saying 'Hey Bro?', but doing that weird thing he does by speaking a sentence like he's asking a question.

Bad guys find out about him, and try to kill him, but there's a twist!! For no good reason, the main bad guy is his dad, and that gets explained near the end by good old Basil Exposition.

Maggie Q plays the Oddjob of the movie, and the whole movie is throwaway fluff that streaming channels produce that are specifically aimed at people who spend half of their time on their phone whilst watching the film, because you could go out for twenty minutes, come back, and not miss anything at all.

The cast are fine, there's a pretty good set piece in a supermarket, and it all looks very nice.

But I like Wahlberg, so what can you do?
