Mickey (George Bashra, who also directed and wrote this film) and his wife Sophie (Maya Stange) have taken their kids Janelle (Ria Maric) and Jake (Finnian James) on a nice quiet holiday break. The kind that has no phone service or internet, the kind that kids hate. Of course, Mickey is an old soldier and when the family finds some mysterious packages, he must save his wife and kids from an army of trained killers.

This Australian action film has made its way to America on Tubi and if you can get past some of the thicker accents, you’ll find an enjoyable film. I mean, how often do you try and fix a big screen TV and find the kind of contraband that someone sends an entire army of mercenaries to retrieve?

“What are you going to do?” asks Sophie.

“What I’m trained to do,” answers Mickey.

These are the kind of guys who threaten a man’s entire family, as you expect for 80s action movie villains, and you know that Mickey’s one weakness is his love for them. You know they’ll be in danger but you also trust that he has a rage inside him that he was keeping inside for years.

Of course, these guys fought Mickey in Afghanistan and killed his brother Noah. Now they want revenge, people who once used to be his friends and now have become men who fight war to make money. Mickey trained most of them and now he has to kill them all.

The film also has a flashback to Afghanistan and shows what happened: Mickey wouldn’t allow them to kill civilians. I’m shocked there aren’t scenes of these guys pie facing children and kicking grandmothers to make them even more sinister.

That said, the fights are pretty great and I liked how each of the henchmen — and woman — have their own personality, kind of like Dreadnoks from G.I. Joe. I mean, they’re Australian, too. Despite all these odds, you never really count Mickey and his family out. That said, isn’t that what these movies are all about?

You can watch this on Tubi.
