It’s got two (well, kind of three, but we’ll get to that later) men north of 50 (Vince Vaughn and James Marsden), one woman south of 40 (Eiza González) and the promise of some violence (you know, the fun kind). That’s not necessarily a bad thing — sometimes you get a This Means War or a Mr. & Mrs. Smith. But in the streaming era, more often than not you get, I don’t know, Red One? Fountain of Youth?
