Thoughts
This film isn't particularly smart or clever and it's derivative of many other movies but it is a fun, easy-going experience with Marky Mark being his effortless charming self. The whole thing feels like a million other movies, and then there are specific moments (fighting with a baby is so Jason Statham, you know?) but if you just switch off your brain and go with it, it's an entertaining way to spend a couple of hours.
