This is pretty routine material, but it’s been realized with charm and enthusiasm: The director, Simon Cellan Jones, maintains a good handle on the comic-thriller tone and shoots the action with wit and creativity.

The Family Plan resembles the first Dan more than the second, too predictable and formulaic to excite, without the juice to become a family favorite.

(Mauro Lanari) "True Lies" was on another level while this one probably won't leave any trace of iconic scenes, but if you don't look for Cameron and settle for a good Wahlberg, the movie is pretty fun. Great effort by Apple not to correlate the gamer Killboy to real shooting skills.

It's Watchable It misses many opportunities and takes no notes from Films such as Nobody. The Bad Guys are the stupidest people on the planet. Do I have to go on...? I don't want to talk about the flaws of this movie...Remember any 6 or below movie just makes me Tired and doesn't deserve my time or yours. 5/10, it's the average movie that thinks it's something so amazing.

Cheerfully dumb and dutifully formulaic, it’s “content” in the worst sense of the term.

The script works efficiently and everyone involved sells it hard; there are continuous closeup cutaways to that cute and gurgling baby who never cries no matter what happens. But the sheer robotic sheen of the film in the end works against it.

No one on-screen is to blame for the failure of The Family Plan. They’re all fine, but they’re swimming upstream against a script that doesn’t give them enough to do and a director who fails at blending an average family and uncommon action into one vision.

There's a sweetness buried deep inside The Family Plan, but it gets completely smothered beneath all the jarring and poorly cut action and weird subplots that lead nowhere. Outside a few chuckles and a likable cast, there's nothing that makes it stand out.

There is nothing in The Family Plan that you haven’t seen before, to the point that there’s somehow even less.

No, in absolutely every way, no. Everything Wahlberg's character does in this is infuriating.

What an absolutely terrible film. The original called Nobody in 2021 is so much better. Worlds apart. This version copy whatever crap it is is a super sanitised mass market ignorant way of a whatever person in the world of subterfuge wants to have a family. Don't bother watching this or try to. I know that everyone is going to watch it anyway because you want to all be stupid but watch the original modern version which is Nobody 2021.
