Bob Odenkirk returns as the dad with a job that violently dispatches bad guys. He decides to take his family on a vacation that turns into yet another opportunity to kick severe ass. The whole point of this film is to put Odenkirk in violent situations, where he can efficiently and brutally beat people up. In this case, Sharon Stone turns up as the especially cruel villain and she’s fun in the role until she gets over-the-top before the end. The final insane encounter involves other members of his family, as they dispatch dozens of military-style enemies. The plot borders on ridiculous and only serves for the extensive violence. This is the first American film for director Timo Tjahjanto, who’s known for his ultra-violent Indonesian action movies. He continues his trajectory here with a few splashes of humor and minimal emotional involvement. Eventually, the continual carnage lacks much real impact and is just another parade of violence.
