This movie reminds me of "A History of Violence" if...

You cut most of the heavy drama and add comedy.

Marky Mark Wahlberg is an assassin hiding in plain sight in the suburbs when his past suddenly catches up with him while he's running errands. Maggie Q, as one of the antagonists was just excellent and *spoilers!!!* (Her fight with Michelle Monaghan has this one part that had me laughing pretty darn hard.) Even the kid actors were great, they had their say and I still enjoyed this film.

The pacing is good, the director Simon Cellan Jones is solid, the action sequences are put together nicely. The music is kinda blah(imo) but not intrusive.

All in all an enjoyable movie that you can sit down and relax to. That doesn't sound like much but with the way things can get sometimes, it's great to sit for a couple of hours and just turn off the old brain.
