This one pretty much slipped under my radar and it’s plot is pretty standard but you know I’m still going to check it out even though the concept has been thoroughly used like anything else in Hollywood. Plus it stars Mark Wahlbergabd he’s always solid (I even enjoyed Infinite…shhhhhh don’t tell anybody).
Titled The Family Plan (original title as well), Wahlberg stars as an ex-elite bad ass who must dust off his particular skill set to take his family on vacation so bad guys from his past won’t catch up with him. Something tells me that they’re eventually going to as there wouldn’t be a movie with all went to plan. Think National Lampoon’s Vacation like Chevy Chase’s iconic comedy but probably not as good and with action set pieces.
Anyway…check out the subsequent key art reveal below aa a new trailer for the Apple+ movie exclusive should be stopping shortly.
Synopsis: Dan Morgan (Mark Wahlberg) loves his quiet suburban life as a devoted husband, father of three and successful car salesman. But that’s only half the story,” reads the official synopsis for the film. “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 unsuspecting wife (Michelle Monaghan), angsty teen daughter, pro-gamer teen son and adorable 10-month-old baby 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.

Simon Cellan Jones directs the PG-13 family fun with stunts and bullets with Bridgett Monaghan, Zoe Colletti, Van Crosby, Saïd Taghmaoui, Maggie Q, Ciarán Hinds heading up the rest of the cast.
Lock N Load right here, as I’m sure many of you will condemn this even before seeing a single second of footage as we are your Action Fix!
