Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAdam Sandler plays the character Max Kessler. A real-life New York City accountant named Max Kessler bears a strong resemblance to Sandler and had met with one of his associates. The two would later meet for the first time after Kessler accepted an invitation to the film's premiere.
- GoofsAs Heather approaches the table where Max, Charlie and Mrs. Kessler are sitting, we see a lightning strike. As the flicker of light briefly comes back, we see Heather jump to another position in the room.
- Crazy creditsWhen the credits start to roll, it turns out that the name of the fictional pharmaceutical company Trojgaard mentioned in the movie was taken from one of the film's co-producers, Pernille Trojgaard (who is also an actress, but not in this movie).

Featured review
It's true that Sandler had lost his Midas touch, but last few films suggest he's back. Still, he's not the same old what he used to be. The time has changed, so he has to adapt to it and I think he's doing okay. Only haters/film critics keep hating him. This is a Netflix production and Sandler in a mysterious role. He teams up with his old school friend and they fake their deaths to begin a new life. But the identities they have borrowed ones are even in the bigger troubles which begins to haunt them as well. So coming out of it is the remaining film to tell.
The storyline seems just okay. Since it is not fresh enough, they did not even overuse the concept to build plot with clichés. Kind of guessable twists, but it will work for most of the people. Better stunt sequences for such a comedy flick. Good performances and it was a smooth sail according to the film's pace. The director and Sandler had given a few good comedies back then, and this fresh collaboration was decent. So don't believe the film critics (Rotten Tomatoes & Metacritic), elsewhere it is rated much better, but still somewhat underrated. If you are seeking a decent action-comedy, this is worth a try.
7/10
