Storyline;
Emmy winner Bob Odenkirk (Better Call Saul, The Post, Nebraska) stars as Hutch Mansell, an underestimated and overlooked dad and husband, taking life's indignities on the chin and never pushing back. A nobody. When two thieves break into his suburban home one night, Hutch declines to defend himself or his family, hoping to prevent serious violence. His teenage son, Blake (Gage Munroe, The Shack), is disappointed in him and his wife, Becca (Connie Nielsen, Wonder Woman), seems to pull only further away. The aftermath of the incident strikes a match to Hutch's long-simmering rage, triggering dormant instincts and propelling him on a brutal path that will surface dark secrets and lethal skills. In a barrage of fists, gunfire and squealing tires, Hutch must save his family from a dangerous adversary (famed Russian actor Aleksey Serebryakov, Amazon's McMafia)-and ensure that he will never be underestimated as a nobody again
Thoughts;
What a change from Better Call Sal! Based on the preview you know where this is going but then you watch this and it's truly awesome
You can feel his mundane life getting old, but without knowing of his old life you can't understand exactly what feels off. His marriage is falling apart, his oldest son seems to be feeling everything. One night changes everything, all it takes is a break in for things to go back to “normal” for Hutch, then everything falls into place and this movie goes.

Plot Summary; CAUTION; Major Spoiler Alert
Hutch
Mansell is a seemingly ordinary man; he has two children with his
wife Becca, has an unremarkable job as an office worker in his
father-in-law Eddie's metal fabrication company, and generally keeps
to himself. The tedium of his life is slowly grinding on him, he and
his wife have not been intimate in years, and his son Blake has no
respect for him. Only his daughter, Sammy, shows him any
affection.
One night, a man and woman break into his house and
hold him at gunpoint, demanding money. Hutch gives them his watch,
but when they try to leave, Blake tackles one of them. Hutch is about
to attack them with a golf club, but stops himself and lets them get
away, resulting in Blake getting a black eye. The incident causes
Blake to drift even further away from his father, and everyone in
Hutch's life, from his neighbor to his brother-in-law at work, asks
him why he did not try to stop the burglars. Hutch contacts his
supposedly deceased half-brother Harry on a hidden radio in his
office and explains that he held back as the burglars were desperate,
scared, and using an unloaded gun.
Later that day, Sammy asks
her father for help finding her bracelet, which Hutch believes the
thieves took. Without saying a word, he goes to see his elderly
father David, and borrows his old FBI badge and gun to track down the
burglars. He finds their apartment and threatens them, but when he
realizes they robbed him to get money to pay for their sick baby's
medical treatment, he leaves in shame. The bus he takes home is
stopped by a gang of Russian thugs, and Hutch takes out his
frustration by savagely beating all of them. When one of them is
having trouble breathing after getting hit in the neck, he saves his
life by a makeshift tracheostomy using a drinking straw.
Harry
then sends him to see a man referred to only as "The Barber",
who provides Hutch with information about one of his victims: he is
the younger brother of Yulian Kuznetsov, a notorious Russian mob
enforcer. Although Yulian despises his brother, he feels an
obligation to avenge him and sends a crew led by his right-hand man
Pavel to attack Hutch at home. Hutch hides his family and kills most
of the attackers before Pavel subdues him with a taser and puts him
in the trunk of a car to take him to Yulian. Finding a fire
extinguisher in the trunk, Hutch uses it to blind his abductors,
causing the car to crash, killing Pavel. He returns home, sends Becca
and the children away to a safe location, and, after rounding up
what's left of Yulian's crew, he discovers Sammy's kitty cat bracelet
where it was all along: at the base of his stereo & FM radio
equipment.
He then sets his house on fire to destroy any
evidence.
It is then explained that Hutch is a former
"auditor", an assassin employed by intelligence agencies to
kill people who were considered untouchable or too difficult to
arrest. He did his work diligently until he let a target he was
supposed to kill for embezzling U.S. government funds go free.
Returning a year later, Hutch found the man had built a new life and
family for himself; wanting a life akin to his, Hutch decided to
retire against the wishes of his superiors, and since then has done
everything possible to suppress any memory of his old life.
After
giving Eddie a stash of gold bars to buy his company from him, Hutch
burns Yulian's art collection and the Obshak money he was protecting
for the mob, telling him that he can either choose to come after him
or he can take what he has left and flee. Yulian angrily calls up
every man on his payroll and pursues Hutch to the factory, where
David and Harry show up to help Hutch eliminate the gangsters using a
variety of weapons and deadly traps Hutch had set up. They kill all
of the gunmen with the exception of Yulian, who shoots and wounds
Harry; Hutch charges him with a Claymore mine attached to a
bulletproof shield and detonates it, killing Yulian. He lets his
father and brother escape, and is arrested by the police, only to be
quickly released with no charges filed.
Three months later,
while buying a new house with Becca, Hutch receives a call suggesting
that his services are still required. In a mid-credits scene, Harry
and David are shown driving to an undisclosed location in an RV
filled with guns
