Hutch sits in a police station with a dog beside him. He ignites a lighter and uses it to cauterize his wound. The police demand to know who they are. Hutch takes a deep breath and ponders his response. To the outside world, Hutch is married to real estate agent Becca. They raise two children, Sammy and Brady, in a happy and loving environment. However, the underworld knows Hutch as an accountant. He has been doing snatch-and-grabs and executions to pay back the money he burned. He still has $30 million remaining. At home, Hutch is a man who puts work over family. Becca misses him at dinner time and informs Hutch. She mentions the kids’ upcoming summer vacation. Hutch promises to plan everything.
Days later, Hutch shows the family an old video of Plummersville. It has carnival rides and the first water park. Hutch has fond memories of that place because it was the only time his father, David, took him and his brother, Harry, on a trip. Hutch convinces his family to go with David. They arrive in town, check into the hotel, and head to the park. But the park is closed, so they get food instead. As Hutch reminisces, he unknowingly stares at Sheriff Abe. Abe warns Hutch to watch his family instead.
Hutch and his family play games at an arcade. Brady gives his extra tickets to a pretty girl and the rest to his sister. Sammy trades her tickets for a badger as Max approaches. He accuses Brady of flirting with his girlfriend, steals Sammy’s badger, and rips off its head. Brady attacks, and security pounces. They demand that Hutch and his family leave. As they exit, one of the guards hits Sammy in the back of the head. With a ruse, Hutch reenters the arcade without his family and takes out the guards. The police arrest him and Brady.
The family waits at the police station for Abe. Abe brings Hutch to his office and stands at the corner. Wyatt sits at Abe’s desk and states that he runs this town. He demands that Hutch leave and never return. Hutch agrees but stays. Hutch calls Harry to learn more about Plummerville. It’s an old bootlegging hub. Today, thugs still use it as a backdoor for transporting legal items throughout the country.
Abe’s goons spot Hutch and his family at the water park. Abe alerts Wyatt. Wyatt wants Hutch gone by any means necessary. He orders Abe to rid the town of Hutch. He doesn’t know who Hutch is, but he understands that Hutch will bring problems to Lendina’s business. Lendina is a ruthless bootlegger who will kill anyone who disrupts her cash flow, including Wyatt. Hutch won’t budge because he and his family need this time together. No one will ruin this nobody’s vacation.
This sequel doesn’t follow the action genre pattern. It doesn’t put Hutch in a new, exotic location to go on the hunt. Instead, he travels to a small town for family time. He didn’t know a mob owned Plummersville. One wrong move and they trigger the monster inside Hutch. Hutch questions his actions in this film because he sees them mirrored in Brady. He worries that Brady will succumb to a life of violence like his and Harry’s. This charming and dry comedy features the original cast. It has more explosions, blood, and wall-to-wall action. The fight sequences combine ‘John Wick‘ with ‘Home Alone (FTC Affiliate Disclaimer).’ The director found exciting and cringy ways to include a funhouse, waterslide, and ball pit. And Lendina is a quirky villain who lives on bloodlust. This film adds to the franchise, not by expanding the world, but by enlightening the audience to Hutch’s family. This film is an entertaining, mindless good time.
I give it 4.5 out of 5 stars
I sensed that you were having an existential crisis – Harry
Walk them out – Wyatt
This needs a woman’s touch – Lendina
I’m his better half – Becca
I forgot my phone. I’ll be right back – Hutch
No such thing – David
It’s not polite to eyeball the law – Sheriff Abe
