Nobody. Here’s another movie released in 2021 that I watched all the way through before writing my thoughts/review.
I admit that I fast forwarded through some of it, especially the early scenes where the character development was taking place.
I fast forwarded through 10 seconds at a time, skipping the character development of the unassuming family man, talking to his family around the dinner table etcetera.
The “Family Man” Hutch Mansell, the lead character, well casted and well played by Bob Odenkirk, who REALLY looks unassuming in the first thirty minutes or so started out as not an action hero type of dude, BUT, and it’s a BIG BUT….He COULD be the next James Bond if the 007 people looked at this movie.
Once the action began to crescendo, I realized how much I was enjoying the basic plot that had been established, the fact that this unassuming family man was a retired CIA “Auditor”, as he called himself. An assassin, really.
The Russian mob was useless against him. They threw everything they had at him right up to the end when his retired CIA buddy “The Barber” played by Colin Salmon and his father, David Mansell played by Christopher Lloyd (also a retired spook) showed up in the end to help him finish off about fifty Russians and finally, their boss, Alexey Serebryakov, well played by Aleksey Serebryakov.
You can find this movie on Amazon Prime. It earned a solid four Unknown Sock Puppets out of five.

Here’s a few Social Media links for sharing, thanks:
This website is not filled with a bunch of “Click-On” ads for the latest in “Toothbrushes” “Fashion” or “Free trips to wherever” generating millions of pesos in income. If you do decide to donate a few Pesos because you enjoy reading my essays, that’s awesome, and I sincerely thank you. IF, you donate the cost of a Starbucks, (or if you’ve “subscribed” to my schtick), it will go towards fixing a few things, NOT, my Golden Statuette.
We give awards out for everything from acting to how many Hot-Dogs they can shove down their gullet. What about and award for people that encourage the weary with optimism for THEIR life’s goals and visions, to inspire another person, and believe in THEIR value as a human being? Wouldn’t THAT be groovy? Yes, this essay was not really about me or an imagined trophy, it’s ALL ABOUT YOU! What do YOU want to accomplish in your life?
