1. ›Plan en Familia / The Family Plan (2023): Movie Review@miguelpeliculas760d

   Vi esta película buscando algunas carcajadas el domingo por la noche, la verdad no tenía idea de que trataba y me imagine la típica comedia de viaje en familia, pero a los pocos minutos me sorprendió porque más allá de los tipicos chistes, también contaba con bastante acción, ya que el protagonista fue un asesino bastante habilidoso en su pasado, y ahora tendrá que mantener a su familia a salvo, mientras sigue interpretando el papel de padre aburrido y esposo devoto.

   I watched this movie looking for some laughs on Sunday night, the truth is I had no idea what it was about and I imagined the typical family road trip comedy, but after a few minutes it surprised me because beyond the typical jokes, it also had quite a few action, since the protagonist was a quite skilled murderer in his past, and now he will have to keep his family safe, while continuing to play the role of boring father and devoted husband.

   Dan Morgan, interpretado por Mark Wahlberg, se enamoró mientras aún estaba de servicio, pero si algo aprendimos de asociaciones de asesinos de otras películas como John Wick, es que salir de ellas es casi imposible, o al menos no con vida. Ya con una familia formaba, donde como única regla tenía su ausencia total de la redes sociales, algo difícil al tener dos hijos adolescente, una que está a punto de ir a la universidad, y el otro un gamer famoso, es fotografiado en una cita con su esposa.

   Dan Morgan, played by Mark Wahlberg, fell in love while still on duty, but if we learned anything from assassin partnerships in other movies like John Wick, it's that getting out of them is nearly impossible, or at least not alive. He already had a family, where the only rule was his total absence from social networks, something difficult when having two teenage children, one who is about to go to university, and the other a famous gamer, he is photographed on a date. with his wife.

   Sinopsis según FilmAffinity / Synopsis according FilmAffinity:

   "Dan Morgan es un esposo devoto, padre de tres hijos y exitoso vendedor de coches. Pero, décadas atrás, era un asesino de élite del gobierno encargado de eliminar las amenazas más letales del mundo. Cuando sus antiguos enemigos dan con él, Dan mete a su esposa, a su atribulada hija adolescente, a su hijo gamer profesional y a su adorable bebé de 10 meses en su monovolumen y se embarca en un viaje improvisado hacia Las Vegas. Decidido a proteger a su familia y a la vez regalarles las vacaciones de su vida, Dan debe poner en práctica sus antiguas habilidades sin revelar su verdadera identidad."

   "Dan Morgan is a devoted husband, father of three children, and successful car salesman. But decades ago, he was an elite government assassin tasked with eliminating the world's deadliest threats. When his former enemies find him, Dan packs his wife, troubled teenage daughter, professional gamer son, and adorable 10-month-old baby into his minivan and embarks on an impromptu trip to Las Vegas. Determined to protect his family while giving them the vacation of a lifetime, Dan must put his old skills to use without revealing his true identity."

   A partir de aquí veremos como Dan debe huir con su familia al ser rastreado por uno de los asesinos, inventando un viaje a Las Vegas con su familia, donde tendrá que decirles la verdad, y obligarlos a abandonar su antigua vida para estar nuevamente a salvo. Los primeros dos actos se sostienen muy bien con esta dinámica, pero ya el cierre pienso que es lo más flojo, pues está un poco plagado de clichés y chistes o escenas de humor físico en momentos serios, lo que la hace bastante familiar, pero siempre he querido un giro diferente, no el típico final feliz.

   From here we will see how Dan must flee with his family when he is tracked by one of the murderers, inventing a trip to Las Vegas with his family, where he will have to tell them the truth, and force them to abandon their old life to be safe again. . The first two acts hold up very well with this dynamic, but I think the closing is the weakest, as it is a bit full of clichés and jokes or scenes of physical humor in serious moments, which makes it quite familiar, but always I wanted a different twist, not the typical happy ending.

   Algo positivo es que la historia le da a cada personaje un desarrollo más que adecuado, la esposa no termina siendo una decoración más, sino que le dan un buen transfondo, mientras que los hijos, que suelen ser los principales afectados en estas cintas, también tienen sus momentos y motivaciones, pero sobre todo me gusta el bebé, pues tiene varias de las escenas más cómicas de la cinta, siendo el único que desde el inicio sabe de la persecución de los asesinos, aunque evidentemente no entiende el peligro en el que se encuentra.

   Something positive is that the story gives each character a more than adequate development, the wife does not end up being just another decoration, but is given a good background, while the children, who are usually the main ones affected in these films, also They have their moments and motivations, but above all I like the baby, because he has several of the most comical scenes in the film, being the only one who knows from the beginning about the chase of the murderers, although he evidently does not understand the danger in which it's found.

   Este mismo desarrollo no se contempla con los villanos, pues más allá de conocer un poco del pasado de Dan, así como de su padre, que es el jefe de la asociación, o de una de sus antiguas amantes, que lo quiere dar de baja por haberla abandonado, al final deciden dar sus planes atrás para recuperar a Dan, viendo lo efectivo que es y que sus sentidos y habilidades se mantienen intactas, pese a estar siendo casado y con familia.

   This same development is not contemplated with the villains, because beyond knowing a little about Dan's past, as well as his father, who is the head of the association, or one of his former lovers, who wants to kill him for having abandoned her, in the end they decide to give up their plans to get Dan back, seeing how effective he is and that his senses and abilities remain intact, despite being married and with a family.

   Las actuaciones me parecieron muy buenas, Mark Wahlberg en estas películas de acción tiende a darnos muy buenos papeles, además de que me gustó su química en pantalla con Michelle Monaghan, la subtrama de la hija queriendo ir a la universidad persiguiendo a su novio de bachillerato no es nada nuevo, pero la del hijo siendo un genio de los videojuegos si me gustó, pues se nota que heredó algo del instinto asesino de su padre, y su batalla en el láser tag fue también muy llamativa, me recordó mucho a Barney Stinson de HIMYM, jajaja.

   I thought the performances were very good, Mark Wahlberg in these action films tends to give us very good roles, plus I liked his on-screen chemistry with Michelle Monaghan, the subplot of the daughter wanting to go to university chasing her high school boyfriend It's nothing new, but I did like the one about the son being a video game genius, because it shows that he inherited some of his father's killer instinct, and his battle in laser tag was also very striking, it reminded me a lot of Barney Stinson from HIMYM, jajaja.

   En conclusión, me parece una película que cumple muy bien su objetivo, sacarnos unas risas y entretenernos con sus escenas de acción, no le alcanza para hacerla sobresalir de las otras producciones con esta temática, pero tampoco te deja un mal sabor de boca cuando termina, por lo que la recomendaría sin ningún problema.

   In conclusion, I think it is a film that fulfills its objective very well, making us laugh and entertaining us with its action scenes, it is not enough to make it stand out from other productions with this theme, but it does not leave a bad taste in your mouth when it ends, so I would recommend it without any problem.

2. ›[Movie review] [Eng | Esp] The Family Plan@jrjaime853d

   Welcome my dear familiar internet travelers and thank you very much for having made a temporary stop in my post, due to health circumstances I was absent for a couple of weeks from the platform, and, while going through that process, I decided to watch a comedy movie that I had never seen before. It falls flat, after reading the synopsis of the film "The Family Plan" which promised to have an excellent balance between violence and comedy, it was everything I was looking for so I didn't think about it much. Without further ado, get ready to go out as a family because we are about to begin.

Sin más que agregar prepárense para salir en familia pues estamos por comenzar.

   The soundtrack is good in general terms, it accompanies the different moments of tension in a good way, apart from that, there is not much else to highlight in this section.

   La banda sonora está bien a grandes rasgos, acompaña de buena forma los diferentes momentos de tensión, fuera de ello, no hay mucho más que destacar en este apartado.

   Its world-building is quite mundane, it doesn't really have any setting that stands out in any way, due to the film's relatively fast and humorous pace this isn't such a dire problem.

   The plot is entertaining, throughout the film you can see good moments of both action and comedy, these being the ones that give the film an entertaining character, the fact that the violent scenes must have a certain degree of dissimulation gives it an even funnier touch to the movie. Narratively it is basic and predictable, this is not a problem because the film never aspires to be complex or anything similar, it is quite enjoyable so its narrative simplicity is not a problem, it talks superficially about trust and its rupture, this does not represent any complexity because they are topics treated in a banal and simple way. The film does not feel boring due to the good moments of both action and comedy that it contains, those elements being what make it digestible.

   La trama resulta entretenida, a lo largo del filme se pueden apreciar buenos momentos tanto de acción como de comedia, siendo estos los que le dan un carácter entretenido a la cinta, el hecho de que las escenas violentas deban tener cierto grado de disimulo le da un toque aún más gracioso a la película. Narrativamente es básica y predecible, esto no es un problema debido a que el filme nunca aspira a ser complejo ni nada que se le asemeje, es bastante ameno por lo que no es un problema su simpleza narrativa, se habla de forma superficial sobre la confianza y la ruptura de la misma, esto no representa ninguna complejidad debido a que son temas tratados de forma banal y simple. La cinta no se siente aburrida debido a los buenos momentos tanto de acción como de comedia que alberga, siendo esos elementos los que la vuelven digerible.

   Nothing to highlight, in general they usually star in one or several humorous moments but other than that they have nothing else that makes them stand out, they are quite simple in general terms.

   Nada que destacar, en general suelen protagonizar uno o varios momentos jocosos pero fuera de ello no tienen más nada que los haga destacar, son bastante simples en líneas generales.

   
   

   

   The Family Plan is a fun film with no aspirations to have anything moderately complex, it seeks to present entertaining moments of both action and comedy, which are well done, it delivers on what it promises. Based on the above, it deserves 3 stars out of 7, it is part of those films that are shown in the afternoon to enjoy its simplicity and to laugh for a while.

   The Family Plan es un filme divertido sin aspiraciones a tener nada medianamente complejo, busca presentar momentos entretenidos tanto de acción como de comedia, los cuales están bien logrados, cumple con lo que promete. Con base en lo anterior es que merece 3 estrellas de 7, forma parte de esas cintas que se ponen en horas de la tarde para disfrutar su simplicidad y para reír un rato.

   Hace unos días, estaba buscando algunas películas de este actor, donde he en su mayoría, hasta que encontré una con una interesante historia.

   Un hombre que vive sus días con su familia encargándose de las responsabilidades de llevar a sus hijos y familiares hacia el éxito, sus hijos y esposa determinan que Dan interpretado por Mark Wahlberg es un hombre aburrido, debido a que siempre se preocupa por sus hijos y esposa.

   Pero lo que ellos no saben es que Dan tiene un oscuro pasado y un misterio que debemos descubrir conforme la historia vaya avanzando.

   

   A few days ago, I was looking for some movies of this actor, where I have mostly, until I found one with an interesting story.

   A man who lives his days with his family taking care of the responsibilities of leading his children and family to success, his children and wife determine that Dan played by Mark Wahlberg is a boring man, because he always worries about his children and wife.

   But what they don't know is that Dan has a dark past and a mystery that we must discover as the story progresses.

   

   

   SR

   

   La vida de toda la familia Morgan (Dan Morgan) está siendo perseguida por misteriosos asesinos, donde su único objetivo es matar a Dan, aunque sus intenciones cambian más adelante cuando el jefe y mente maestra detrás de todos los problemas, captura a toda su familia para atraer a Dan.

   Momento donde conoceremos la verdadera identidad de Dan Morgan, donde seremos sorprendidos por sus habilidades para proteger a su familia.

   

   The life of the whole Morgan family (Dan Morgan) is being pursued by mysterious assassins, where their only goal is to kill Dan, although their intentions change later when the boss and mastermind behind all the problems, captures his whole family to lure Dan.

   Moment where we will know the true identity of Dan Morgan, where we will be surprised by his abilities to protect his family.

   

   

   SR

   

   Estoy muy sorprendida como la historia cambia de un momento a otro, nunca me lo hubiera imaginado, pensaba que solamente se trataba de una historia familiar donde todos discuten, resuelven los problemas y se ríen del pasado, o inclusive pensé que era una película de comedia.

   Últimamente, Mark Wahlberg está participando en película del género comedia, donde las que he visto hasta los momentos han sido muy buenas, esta tiene su ligero toque por ser una película familiar, pero no como para hacernos reír a carcajadas.

   La actuación de cada uno de los actores presentes en la película han sido buenas, la historia te mantiene de principio a fin y las escenas de acción son realmente asombrosas, el instinto de un hombre para defender a su familia es capaz de hacer cosas sorprendentes.

   

   I am very surprised how the story changes from one moment to another, I would never have imagined it, I thought it was just a family story where everyone discusses, solves problems and laughs about the past, or even I thought it was a comedy movie.

   Lately, Mark Wahlberg is participating in comedy movies, where the ones I have seen so far have been very good, this one has a slight touch of being a family movie, but not enough to make us laugh out loud.

   The acting of each of the actors in the film have been good, the story keeps you from beginning to end and the action scenes are really amazing, the instinct of a man to defend his family is capable of doing amazing things.

   

   

   SR

   

   Esta película tiene una enseñanza, no confíes en las personas que apenas conozcas, no se sabe con qué intenciones se acercan en tu vida, una persona que solamente quiere tu amistad, no te pregunta todo sobre tu vida en un solo día, las cosas se dan a su debido momento y tiempo, lo importante es que siempre estén ahí ayudándose mutuamente, porque en las buenas todos están, mientras que en las malas te toca enfrentarlas solo.

   Una situación como esta le paso a la esposa de Dan Morgan llamada Jessica interpretada por la actora Michelle Monaghan, quien confió en una amistad en el gimnasio, donde al final descubre que su nueva amiga tiene también un oscuro pasado en conjunto de su esposo Dan Morgan.

   

    This movie has a teaching, do not trust people you just meet, you do not know with what intentions they approach your life, a person who only wants your friendship, does not ask you everything about your life in one day, things happen in due time and time, the important thing is that they are always there helping each other, because in the good times everyone is there, while in the bad times you have to face them alone.

   A situation like this happened to Dan Morgan's wife Jessica played by actor Michelle Monaghan, who relied on a friendship at the gym, where in the end she discovers that her new friend also has a dark past together with her husband Dan Morgan.

   Hay familiares en nuestras vidas que aún no conocemos, eso es lo que pasa cuando tienes una familia grande, pero como todos están en sus propias vidas preocupándose nada más en su círculo familiar, muchos de nosotros aún no nos conocemos, hasta que llega un momento donde los vez y te comienza a sentir extraño en saber de qué es familia, pero nunca estuvieron ahí.

   Situación que le paso a los hijos y esposa de Dan, donde quedan impresionados de saber que un ser muy peligroso es familia y que no tiene buenas intenciones.

   Hay cosas que nunca deben ser ocultadas en tu familia, ya que cuando descubran la verdad les arias daño a todos, inclusive a ti mismo por guardar un secreto que a todos les desagradarían, es mejor contarlo y que esa persona lo sepa para qué de esta manera sepan que los tienes en cuenta y que pase lo que pase siempre le darás esa confianza.

   

    There are family members in our lives that we don't know yet, that's what happens when you have a big family, but as everyone is in their own lives worrying only about their family circle, many of us still don't know each other, until there comes a time when you see them and you start to feel strange to know what family is, but they were never there.

   A situation that happened to Dan's children and wife, where they were shocked to learn that a very dangerous being is family and that he has no good intentions.

   There are things that should never be hidden in your family, because when they discover the truth you will hurt everyone, including yourself for keeping a secret that everyone would dislike, it is better to tell and that person knows it so that in this way they know that you have them in mind and that whatever happens you will always give them that confidence.

   No tengo nada negativo que decir de esta película, la verdad que ha sido muy asombrosa verla y la intriga que te deja cada minuto es emocionante, descubrir cosas que esta familia tiene hacen que te sigan dando ganas de verla, inclusive repetirla una vez más.

   He puntuado esta película 4 estrellas por la calidad en la que los directores la trabajaron, la trama, la historia, los personajes, todos hicieron un magnífico trabajo.

   Aunque la película no haya tenido una buena aceptación de los críticos de Rotten Tomatoes, ya que tuvo una aceptación de los críticos del 25%, por otra parte, ha tenido una buena aceptación de la audiencia del 61%.

   En lo personal, la película ha sido buena, perfecta para pasar el rato en familia.

   El tráiler de la película se encuentra un poco más abajo, dicha pelicula se encuentra disponible en Appe TV.

   

   I have nothing negative to say about this movie, the truth is that it has been very amazing to watch and the intrigue that leaves you every minute is exciting, discovering things that this family has makes you still want to watch it, even repeat it once again.

   I have rated this movie 4 stars because of the quality in which the directors worked on it, the plot, the story, the characters, they all did a magnificent job.

   Although the movie has not had a good acceptance from the critics of Rotten Tomatoes, since it had a critics acceptance of 25%, on the other hand, it has had a good acceptance from the audience of 61%.

   Personally, the movie has been good, perfect for family time.

4. ›Entertaining And Fun! The Family Plan (2023) || Movie Review.@esther-emmanuel908d

   

   I love movies that one can watch and enjoy when it's a relaxing time. Those kinds of movies are usually entertaining. This movie, ’The Family Plan’ is a popcorn movie that was both entertaining and thrilling to watch. It is a movie I would recommend for family time.

   When I saw the trailer of this movie a month ago, I was thrilled to watch it because of Mark Wahlberg. I love to watch any of his movies and I always enjoy them a lot because he makes me laugh. For me, Mark Wahlberg’s role was something different and new, not like his usual roles in movies. It was fun to watch.

   ’The Family Plan’ is an action comedy film that was partly produced by Mark Wahlberg alongside Apple studios and Skydance media. It was directed by Simon Cellan Jones and written by David Coggeshall.

   The story of the movie revolves around an ex-elite government assassin who lives a different life as a father, husband, and salesman in Buffalo, New York, but soon his past catches up with him and to keep his family safe he had take them on an unexpected road trip to Vegas.

   This movie starred Mark Wahlberg, Michelle Monaghan, Zoe Collette, Van Crosby, Iliana Norris, Saïd Taghmaoui, Maggie Q, Ciarán Hinds and Lateef Crowder.

   Little About The Plot.

   

   

   

   Mark Wahlberg as Dan Morgan was an ex-elite government assassin, now an excellent salesman who lives in the suburbs of Buffalo, New York with his family. He has three children, Nina, Kyle and Max (baby of the house). He and his wife Jessica were about to celebrate their anniversary which didn't go impressively well for Jessica as she requested something different from Dan's usual plans for their anniversary yearly.

   

   

   

   Dan planned on working to impress his wife but his life took a wild turn when he was out shopping with his youngest child Max. Dan was attacked unexpectedly by a resilient and stubborn hitman but in the heat of the moment Dan was able to deal with the hitman in hand to hand combat while still carrying his son. Immediately he decided to take his family on an unexpected road trip to Vegas as a cover to keep his family safe from an inevitable trouble he felt was coming his way from his past.

   

   

   

   However, collecting his family from their daily activities locations was easy for him but the road trip seemed to become tough as more hitmen came for him and his family. Dan contacts an old time colleague, Augie who informs him that his former boss McCaffrey was probably the one after him and his family. He then advised Dan to tell his family about his past. Will Dan and his family survive?

   My Review And Rating.

   This movie is the clean version of ’Nobody (2021)’. It is void of gore and bloody scenes which is why I can recommend this movie for a family watch. The action and comedy parts were done excellently well and both genres were blended together flawlessly. That is one thing I appreciate about this movie.

   Did many criticize this movie badly? Yes of course! I understand their reasons. You see, 90% percent of action family themed movies come with cliché or predictable plots and storyline. It always has a happy ending. Most people who didn't really enjoy this movie. The reason was that the plot was predictable and generic.

   Is the plot of this movie generic and predictable? Yes it was for me but not all the plot was predictable especially when the antagonist was revealed. I didn't expect that twist. The plot was well written with good and funny humor. I love how the characters were built based on the major theme of the movie which is family.

   Did the cast perform well? Yes they did. Except for the fact that some characters were easily forgotten because they didn't have much relevance to their roles. Mark was fantastic with his role as usual but he didn't steal the spotlight for me but his son Max stole the whole spotlight of the movie. He was fun to watch, I loved all his mannerism. He was just perfect for his role! He is my favorite character in the movie.

   Maggie Q’s role was somehow irrelevant to me because I forgot about her easily. Her role had no background story, we didn't get to know why her character was involved right from the beginning but still she acted her role so well that one could easily miss out on why she didn't have a background story. Overall the cast did an amazing job all round.

   The picturing and visuals were clear and beautiful. The cinematography was well done. The music was well selected but not that impressive for me because I felt there are better albums / songs out there that would have blended well this movie. The scene arrangements were excellently done, the action and stunts were filmed well. No bloody scenes and no gore. Also, not much profanity.

   Rating this movie, I will give it 7.5 out of 10 stars. I enjoyed watching the movie, it was relaxing and fun. It was also entertaining. I would recommend this movie to anyone who loves a good family action and comedy movie. Have you seen this movie yet?

5. ›A Fun Weekend Watch || Review of The Family Plan (2023)@kemmyb911d

   ^{_{Source, Fair Use}}

   An action-comedy that blends spy thrills, gunfights, car chases with a suburban family at the helm is unexpectedly fascinating for me, considering that Mark Wahlberg is the main actor in it and I don't often like to watch his films. Still in the spirit of celebrating Christmas and the holidays, I came across this adventurous family movie on the streaming site I frequent and decided to see it. I didn't pay attention to the poster, believe it. If I did, I might have not seen the movie.

   The Family Plan (2023) is an American action-comedy about a normal, average father and husband, Dan Morgan (played by Mark Wahlberg), who lives in the suburbs with his wife, two teenagers and a toddler. His life is normal and kind of boring and he seems satisfied with it. His wife, Jessica (played by Michelle Monaghan) wonders why they never travel or leave their city and the teenagers rebel, wanting their own lives away from the control of their parents.

   On their anniversary night, Dan and Jessica go out and while making out, some young men take their photo and post it to social media. Dan looks shocked and Jessica doesn't understand why. The following day, while shopping with his toddler strapped to his chest, a man attacks Dan. He fights, escapes and runs home to pack his family's things for a trip to Vegas. Who are those after Dan and his family? Does he have a secret that his family is unaware of?

   Review

   I see that the audience ratings for this film is unexpectedly low but I loved it! Never mind that the main actor is Mark Wahlberg but the plot is well executed. It's not an original one, we've seen similar movie plots where a conservative family man is revealed as a former assassin in hiding. His past comes tumbling out and his family has to decide whether or not to accept him.

   The storytelling is well-done. Mark Wahlberg convinces the audience that he can be both a calm, normal person and also a badass assassin, all to protect the people he cares about. He embodies his character well and the comedy is hilarious. I enjoyed the scenes of the toddler acting funny right from the beginning of the film. The film balances comedy and drama quite well, and gives the audience a fresh look on changes, confronting our past lives and the power of family love to heal past mistakes.

   The supporting cast is great too. It's good to see Maggie Q in action after the low rating of Fear The Night (2023). Though her scenes are few, she plays them convincingly. I almost chose her over Michelle Monaghan as a fitting love interest for Mark Wahlberg. Ciarán Hinds too plays his role well as a worthy villain.

   Though some of the scenes aren't realistic such as weaving through traffic in a car chase with a Honda minivan and the wife and kids are asleep. None of them wake up! But it's alright in my opinion. This film doesn't take itself seriously and neither should viewers. Sometimes, you go with the flow and simply enjoy the movie, realistic or not.

   I like that the director Simon Cellan Jones pursues the angle that families are not perfect. Through tough situations, like a life-and-death situation, sticking together and loving each other can make a big difference.

   Overall, The Family Plan is a fun and delightful film worth watching. I enjoy the blend of spy thriller and comedy within a two-hour runtime. I'll give it 3.5 stars out of 5.

   Thank you for visiting my blog.

6. ›The Family Plan 2023|| Portraying Challenges And Triumphs.@wongi917d

   The things we watch play a vital role in determining the things we think about. After seeing this movie, I took a good look at my mom and questioned myself; "What if my mom was a retired spy? Or a retired assassin?". She definitely doesn't look like an assassin but again, that is how undercover assassins look–the opposite of what they truly are.

   Source

   My imagination kept wandering. What if fellow assassins were sent to take down my mom because she probably knew too much information about their organisation? Where would I run to? What skills do I possess that would come in handy while defending myself?

   All of these remind me of the time I desperately wanted to become a detective. I'm certain I would have gone for it if it was part of the courses offered in universities. I went as far as applying to be a member of a karate class but I couldn't even survive the class. This is a story for another day:)

   About The Movie

   The family plan is the movie that made me reminisce so much on my past. The movie starred some amazing casts and from the poster, I knew it was going to be a good watch.

   The past catches up with Dan–a former elite government assassin– when enemies track him down and are bent on ending him. For this reason, Dan packs his wife and three kids into their minivan and hits the road on an impromptu trip to Las Vegas. His aim is to go as far away as possible but along the line, there is a little derailment.

   The movie is an action adventure drama film directed by Simon Cellan Jones. It is a one hour fifty minute movie that takes viewers on a thrilling and captivating journey. Released on the 15th of December, 2023, the family plan is a fairly recent movie that isn't about the holidays; just in case you need a break from the numerous Christmas movies being released.

   Cast.

   Mark Wahlberg as Dan

   

   Dan is the ex assassin with a conscience. It has been well established that many assassins are devoid of the humane parts of themselves but Dan was different. Dan wanted out and so he managed to stay hidden for eighteen years.

   One cannot hide forever. Dan's cover was blown and soon enough he was tied between getting his family to safety and telling them the truth about himself. He managed both roles to the best of his ability.

   Movies with Mark Wahlberg are most of the times good movies and this wasn't any different. I like how well and gracefully he acted out his role as Dan the meek father.

   Michelle Monaghan as Jess

   

   Jess happened to be Dan's lovely wife. She was a physiotherapist 'adventurer' who gave up her dreams to be a mother and a wife. Along the line, she felt a little trapped and wanted to soar. When Dan came up with the idea of an impromptu trip, she basically hopped on the offer.

   Jess is undoubtedly a character worthy of emulation in the real world as she remains content with the things life gave her while still working to get the things that life didn't offer freely to her. She was also a very loyal partner and loving mother.

   Zoe Colletti as Nina

   

   Nina was Dan's daughter and the perfect epitome of a teenager who was fighting for their freedom or so. Nina started off her role as a recalcitrant daughter who wanted to go against her parents will. Luckily, she had understanding parents who put up with all of her misconducts while still guiding her on the right path.

   Van Crosby as Kyle Morgan

   

   While making this review I saw that the character Kyle's real name was indeed Van. This was really amusing because he made a joke about how a person's name would be Van during one of the scenes in the movie. How hilarious. I can't imagine the amount of composure he had to muster to crack that joke.

   Kyle played the role of Dan's first son who had two different personalities. There was a shy Kyle who had no friends and there was a popular gamer version of Kyle who had millions of friends.

   My Opinion

   

   This was a really interesting movie to see. I like the controversial discoveries, the little secrets and big secrets too. The way the movie began, one would have thought they were watching a regular movie with a depressed man who decides to be a good father. No clues whatsoever were given and this made watching this movie fun.

   However, I ended up asking so many questions along the line. Questions that apply to real life. Take Dan for instance, he was married for eighteen long years with two grown up kids and a ten month old baby and he never thought it right to tell his wife that he was an ex assassin? This questions the meaning behind trust and love. But again, some things are best left as secrets. Right?

   Along the line, I discovered what a beautiful place Las Vegas is. I would totally love to visit it someday as the clips and landmarks I saw in the movie from Las Vegas were just breathtakingly gorgeous. Yet another place added to my bucket list:)

   

   Also, I like how well the characters performed. As you would expect, a movie with an ex assassin who is trying to lay low would obviously involve deceit and I particularly liked how well the few characters involved in this deceit acted out their roles. Take Maggie Q for instance (you may know her from the movie Nikita), she particularly performed the deception role perfectly.

   Recommendation.

   

   One of the numerous things I took out from this movie was the Kyusho Jitsu; you can find out more about this technique as it may come in handy someday.

   I would gladly recommend this movie to anyone as there is a thing or two to pick out from the movie. Also, it is indeed an amazing watch.

   No les pasa que hay días en los que simplemente quieren ver una película para pasar el rato y ya está? - son esos días en donde no hay un gran interés por saber o conocer el film en cuestión, el plan va de sentarse, darle play a la película y ya está. Bueno, ese es el caso de esta nueva entrega de Mark Wahlberg, un actor que sorprendentemente se le da muy bien este tipo de películas que combinan la comedia con un poco de acción. Porque si, esto de Apple Tv+ es una historia, de las más clichés que pueden existir, que combinan el típico viaje familiar en donde los hermanos se odian y la pareja busca la chispa perdida en su matrimonio con una subtrama que le da vuelta y todo y al final el viaje termina siendo un caos total.

   Don't you find that there are days when you just want to watch a movie to pass the time and that's it? - Those are the days when there is no great interest in knowing or knowing the film in question, the plan is to sit down, play the movie and that's it. Well, that's the case of this new release from Mark Wahlberg, an actor who surprisingly is very good at this kind of movies that combine comedy with a bit of action. Because yes, this AppleTv is a story, one of the most clichéd that can exist, that combines the typical family trip where the brothers hate each other and the couple is looking for the lost spark in their marriage with a subplot that turns everything upside down and in the end the trip ends up being a total chaos.

   Es una mezcla de comedia porque claro, las cosas que pasan y los diálogos se prestan mucho para eso con una acción que involucra ver lo mejorcito del repertorio de Wahlberg a la hora de lanzar unos cuantos golpes y matar a unos cuantos enemigos. Si me lo preguntan, si, es una película enteramente familiar que como ya digo en el título es la propia para poner un domingo a las 5 de la tarde en la sala de tu casa y que todo el mundo se siente a verla. Dicho esto imagino que ya esperarán que tipo de film es, su estilo y de qué va pero bueno, vayamos y profundicemos un poco más en esta película que se deja ver, sin más.

   It's a mix of comedy because of course, the things that happen and the dialogues lend themselves to that with an action that involves seeing the best of Wahlberg's repertoire when it comes to throwing a few punches and killing a few enemies. If you ask me, yes, it's an entirely family friendly movie that as I said in the title is one to put on a Sunday at 5pm in your living room and have everyone sit down to watch it. Having said that, I imagine you are already expecting what kind of film it is, its style and what it is about, but well, let's go and delve a little deeper into this film that is easy to watch, without further ado.

   Esta es una historia en donde ocultar secretos en el matrimonio en la mayoría de los casos puede que no sea una buena idea. Dan Morgan (Mark Wahlberg) es el típico padre de familia, trabajador y cariñoso con los suyos pero con un pasado bastante oscuro, uno que su familia no tiene ni idea de su existencia. Jessica (Michelle Monaghan) es la esposa y madre, fisioterapeuta e igual de abnegada y buena persona que su marido. El tema es que ellos están inmersos en una rutina lapidaria y ella ansía un cambio radical en su día a día, ella quisiera que Dan fuera más espontáneo y que sus vidas fueran más vívidas. Lo que no sabe Jess es que su sueño está a punto de hacerse realidad pero gracias a unas razones un tanto peligrosas y letales.

   This is a story where hiding secrets in marriage in most cases may not be a good idea. Dan Morgan (Mark Wahlberg) is the typical family man, hardworking and loving to his family but with a rather dark past, one that his family has no idea exists. Jessica (Michelle Monaghan) is the wife and mother, a physical therapist and just as selfless and good person as her husband. The issue is that they are immersed in a lapidary routine and she longs for a radical change in their day to day life, she would like Dan to be more spontaneous and their lives to be more vivid. What Jess doesn't know is that her dream is about to come true but thanks to some dangerous and lethal reasons.

   Dan, al ser un ex sicario del gobierno, tiene un pasado un tanto complicado y que está a punto de alcanzarlo en su nueva vida. Para escapar de él se inventara un viaje familiar con la excusa de escapar y que pierdan su rastro pero las cosas no suelen ser tan fáciles. Es aquí cuando la trama comienza a tomar forma y veremos una especie de persecución por todo Estados Unidos en donde una familia, sin conocimiento de nada, intentan escapar de una banda de asesinos contratados por un tal McCaffrey, interpretado por el gran Ciarán Hinds. En este viaje veremos de todo un poco, como esa relación entre todos se afianza conforme los peligros se acercan y a un Dan, desde lo incógnito, proteger a su familia a toda costa.

   Dan, being a former government hitman, has a somewhat complicated past that is about to catch up with him in his new life. To escape from him, he invents a family trip with the excuse of escaping and losing his trail, but things are not usually that easy. It is here when the plot begins to take shape and we will see a kind of chase across the United States where a family, without knowledge of anything, trying to escape from a gang of killers hired by a certain McCaffrey, played by the great Ciarán Hinds. In this journey we will see a little bit of everything, how the relationship between everyone is strengthened as the dangers approach and Dan, from the incognito, protect his family at all costs.

   Mark Wahlberg es de esos actores que tienen un sello invisible y es que sorpresivamente se le dan bien este tipo de películas en donde la comedia es el eje central de la trama. Para poner un ejemplo les diría "TED", en donde es el entrañable amigo de un oso de peluche. Este film tiene muchas pinceladas cómicas, situaciones en donde la gracia predomina por sobre todo lo demás lo que hace que sea agradable de ver. No te estoy diciendo que te vas a secar de la risa pero es una historia fresca en donde puede que alguna sonrisa se asome por ahí. Todo esto se da básicamente gracias a la interacción de todos con todos, esto da a pie a que lo más simple sea motivo de algo un poco cómico.

   Mark Wahlberg is one of those actors who have an invisible stamp and he is surprisingly good at this type of movies where comedy is the central axis of the plot. To give you an example, I would say "TED", where he is the endearing friend of a teddy bear. This film has many comic touches, situations where humor prevails over everything else, which makes it enjoyable to watch. I'm not telling you that you'll dry up laughing, but it's a fresh story where you might see a smile or two. All this is basically thanks to the interaction of everyone with everyone, this gives rise to the simplest thing to be a reason for something a little funny.

   También hay acción, en este apartado debo decir que me sorprendí bastante porque no esperaba que las escenas de este género estuvieran hechas decentemente. Tenemos persecuciones en carros, peleas cuerpo a cuerpo, intercambios de disparos, una de las escenas finales se dan unos enfrentamientos múltiples que tan mal no estuvieron, en fin, para ser la película que una esperaba que fuera terminó resultando mucho más llamativa de lo imaginado. Es extraño que en este tipo de films en los cuales las expectativas pasan únicamente por pasar el rato y ya el resultado final es mucho más cool que unas cuantas películas de nombres que pueden haber por allí.

   There is also action, in this section I must say that I was quite surprised because I did not expect that the scenes of this genre were made decently. We have car chases, melee fights, exchanges of gunfire, one of the final scenes there are multiple clashes that were not so bad, in short, to be the film that one expected it to be ended up being much more striking than imagined. It is strange that in this type of films in which the expectations are only to pass the time and the final result is much cooler than a few films of names that may be out there.

   La trama es super simple y básica pero a pesar de eso es una que no te permite aburrirte, por lo menos no fue mi caso. Es verdad que hay unos vacíos raros en el guión y en la forma en cómo se desarrollan algunas escenas y situaciones pero para ser una película con las características de esta considero que están bien y es que aquellos que vamos a ver este tipo de cosas no estamos tan pendiente de estos detalles como si fueran los de un gran estreno del cine. El fin primordial de estos film es entretener, no hay otro, son hechos con la finalidad de que sean consumidos en masa cuando no haya más nada que ver. Sin pretensiones ni aspirar a algo que no es, es una película común y corriente, una más del montón que funciona para pasar el tiempo.

   The plot is super simple and basic but despite that it is one that does not let you get bored, at least it was not my case. It is true that there are some strange gaps in the script and in the way some scenes and situations are developed, but for a film with the characteristics of this one, I think they are fine, and those of us who go to see this kind of things are not as attentive to these details as if they were those of a big movie premiere. The primary purpose of these films is to entertain, there is no other, they are made with the purpose of being consumed en masse when there is nothing else to see. Without pretensions or aspiring to something it is not, it is an ordinary film, one more of the bunch that works to pass the time.

   Los personajes, al igual que toda la producción, son planos, no hay nada destacable en ellos. Creo que es un buen elenco en donde cada uno hizo su trabajo pero hasta ahí. A la película le doy un 6/10, creo que como entretenimiento está más que aceptable, con escenas de acción medianamente buenas y una comedia fresca. La pueden encontrar en Apple TV+ y tiene una duración de menos de dos horas. Les dejo el tráiler por acá abajo.

   The characters, as well as the whole production, are flat, there is nothing remarkable about them. I think it's a good cast where everyone did their job but that's as far as it goes. I give the movie a 6/10, I think as entertainment it is more than acceptable, with moderately good action scenes and a fresh comedy. You can find it on Apple TV+ and it's less than two hours long. I leave the trailer below.

   Bueno mi gente por hoy es todo, espero que les haya gustado. ¡Un abrazo a todos, nos vemos en la próxima!

   Well my people that's all for today, I hope you liked it. ¡A hug to everyone, see you next time!
