Welp were to begin..... We've seen at least a dozen or so of these movies over the last decade or so. The main problem with this one is if you've seen the trailer you've seen the movie in a nutshell.


Spoiler review


We aren't given much of a back story other than an opening shot of her father jogging in a neighborhood and life snatched away with no reason why. Cut to GU and Kids heading a house with having Union obviously with something on her mind. Upon arrival at the father's and her childhood home out in the countryside she notices that not only are the doors unlocked but the super advanced security system is offline. This should have been the logical end to the movie as any mom protecting her kids would have known something was not right. Nope we'll just have our bumbling criminal crew seem to be ghosts until it's time to take the kids at a convenient time. See our evil crew is supposed to have 90 minutes before the security company and police show up. That should be plenty of time right? Nope you see first and foremost they didn't expect company and hmmm.... They don't even know where the safe/loot is in the house. should be easy now that they have some leverage right? Nope you see limp hollywood scripts and central casting take over. Criminal #1 The Calm Mastermind leader, Criminal #2 The Smart with computers and shit, Criminal #3 The you said we wouldn't hurt anybody, and Criminal #4 The Crazy bug-eyed who hired the serial killer one. Bet you can guess the order in which they are dispatched by our heroine..... Union and the kids are decent in there roles. Gabriel shows she still has some of her Bad Boys II moves left and is not a mom to be trifled with.

Lastly there are a couple of creepy and unnecessary #Metoo scenes in the movie with the most unsettling one being multiple cheek shots of the teenage daughter lying on a bed with her phone.
