wasted two hours of my life watching this...

So after discovering that her husband was a professional killer sent to assassinate her father who coincidently, had placed several people in their lives who would kill them at a moments notice, Katherine's character casually accepts all this and sits down for a chat?

So that she can continue to have her lying family in her life?

Her father didn't even tell the sleepers not to kill her! He was having her husband murdered! Dead and gone forever, you don't just sit down and say 'Hmmm we should start being more honest with each other'. How can you forgive that?

Plus the pile of bodies they left behind, how would the murders not get traced back to them?

This film made no sense, if they'd sorted out the plot line, changed the actors, not made almost every person in their life a secret assassin then it could have worked but the whole thing was just deeply stupid and badly thought out that I'm mad at myself for watching the whole damn thing!

This film- A disgrace.

Yes, that was a pretty big plothole, but it WAS a farcical comedy. I managed to look past that. Jen Kornfeldt (Katherine Heigl) seemed like a person who was well suited to quickly adapt to her surroundings. the entire film actually supported that premise.

Technically neither you or I don't know if her father told the sleeper agent/killers NOT to hurt Jen, but I did assume that. She happened to be in the way and some of them got really OVER ZEALOUS (like the couple with the car) that they forgot that they weren't supposed to take her out. And her friend Kristen only threatened her because she was angry that other assassins may have beat her to the punch and taken the $20M bounty after she had invested 3 years in a phoney friendship. Actually, her threatening to kill Mrs. Kornfeldt and Jen was the reason (I surmised) why Mr. Kornfeldt immediately terminated her with three shots.

One thing I did wish they had addressed was the fact that Holbrook seemed to have turned traitor when he targeted Kornfeldt in Nice. Kornfeldt was purportedly identified to Spencer as a traitor, thus worthy of being killed. This was never addressed. Spencer apparently didn't know that Kornfeldt was supposed to be on the helicopter (I don't think he was a lowly pilot, Pilots don't usually make enough to put $20M bounties on anyone ;) ) When he realized that Kornfeldt was one of his targets in Nice, I would have expected him to clarify "Are you one of the bad guys? or are you one of the innocent guys that Holbrook tried to get me to kill?"

But I don't think the last few minutes of the film detract that much from the rest. It was, again, a broad farce at times, so I tend to accept a lot of looseness in the 'logic' of the film. Very little is realistic. When literally everyone is trying to Kill spencer, it got so ridiculous I was laughing out loud. :)

Dr. Kila Marr was right. Kill the Crystalline Entity.

You wasted 2 hours watching a 90 minute movie?

No matter how long it was, that is time none of us will get back... and it's not even as if the film was even worth it, it actually made me feel a little sick, it was that bad.
