At the very begging I didn't understand the low rates from this movie. By this movie moves into the story gets worse and worse and worse. "Killing is a bad thing honey" "I will never kill again baby" It's a ridiculous dialogue. The script is bad Acting is mediocre Villains are like all the cliches we ever see in a Disney movie. All predictable and bored before the 1st half. It's not a comic movie Neither an action movie. Failed mix between action and comedy. The creators do not commit to any idea. The action scenes are few and quite insipid, the comedy is minimal and the espionage dynamics are almost not shown. For a ruthless and cunning killer, we don't see Emma cross many obstacles, there are almost no identity changes, half of the movie takes place in a kind of gray mansion and the only trip is to Germany, but it could easily have happened anywhere. Generic American city. The whole construction of the universe is pretty poor. The real killers are Vincent and Owen, who almost manage to bore the audience to death.

Emma loves her family and would do anything to keep them safe, and they don't need to know all the details of her day to day. When she gets back from a work trip and forgets her anniversary she makes it up to her husband by taking him to the city for a night of sexy role play. The night starts to go off the rails and you follow her journey of securing her family life she loves so much and what she actually does for work. As you do with any action movie just go along for the ride and enjoy the things the times when it all comes together. It's fun and I love the husband and wife dynamic, they make a beautiful couple.

This is basically a gender swap of Mark Wahlburg's "Family Plan", but without the same level of humor or action. The lead actors are fine, the action sequences are well done but waaaay too short. The story is predictable, the humorous bits garner a chuckle at best. It's great to see Kaley branch out, but this doesn't come close to her performance in "Flight Attendant" on Apple TV. I think she deserves a bigger audience, and I'll continue waiting for her to find that true breakout role so she'll no longer just be Penny from The Big Bang Theory. As others have said, it makes for some fine background noise, but ultimately is pretty forgettable.

I will watch anything with Bill Nighy in it. He can do (almost) no wrong. And he proved himself again in "Role Play". He stepped up and made a great foil for Kaley Cucoco and David Oyelowo to play off of and get the story going. This is a fun movie with some comedy and a strong family that has a crack in it they aren't quite aware of until it's too late and it turns into an addition to the Grand Canyon. The music is okay given that I don't recall any of it and have no earworms at all. A good portion of action, bad shooting and a glass house where you must suspend belief in what it really is made of. There are some actual surprises in this script. It's FUN! Watch it if you can use some bubble gum for your brain! AND it has Bill Nighy!!!! (Love that guy.)

Role Play is a pretty bad comedy action film about a wife who is an assassin and hiding the secret from her husband and family. Until her past catches up to her and she has to step in and fight for her familys safety. The plot is forgettable with its tedious script. The plot is similiar to The Family Plan except at least the humor and fun in that film is worth watching. This film lacks the humor and when it tries for laughs it is just pure awkward. The action sequences are boring. The cast ensemble is forgettable. It is nice to see Katey going for the action role. But the script and direction gives them nothing to work with. It is a boring action film that has a eh story. Boring action and tedious performances.

Greetings again from the darkness. The spouse living a double life is territory covered many times by many movies over many years. When done well, it's an intriguing premise and fertile ground for a fascinating character - one who can flip the switch between a 'normal' family life and one of intense danger. What's rare is for the oblivious spouse to be the more interesting character, yet that's exactly what happens in this film from director Thomas Vincent and screenwriter Seth W Owen. Kaley Cuoco stars as Emma Brackett, and David Oyelowo co-stars as her husband, Dave. Ms. Cuoco shot to fame with her role as Penny on the long-running TV series "The Big Bang Theory", which she followed up with leading roles in "The Flight Attendant" and "Harley Quinn". This is her latest shot at establishing herself as a movie actress. Mr. Oyelowo is best known for his dramatic turns in SELMA (2014) and THE MIDNIGHT SKY (2020), and the new series "Lawmen: Bass Reeves". Emma is a contract assassin who works all over the world using disguises (mostly wigs) and aliases, while telling Dave, the nicest, most trusting man on Earth, that she is off to yet another generic work conference in Nebraska or some other unexciting locale. When home, Emma is a good mother to their two kids, and clearly enjoys their life in suburban New Jersey. When work beckons, Dave unwittingly accepts her reason for travel, having no clue that she'll return with blood on her hands. On their seventh anniversary, Dave suggests they spice things up a bit with some role play. Their planned 'happenstance' meeting as strangers at a hotel bar goes sideways thanks to the intrusion of an unwelcome third wheel named Bob Kellerman. The always fabulous Bill Nighy plays Kellerman, and we find ourselves wishing he had more screen time. It turns out, this encounter leads to Emma being outed, which sends Dave into emotional turmoil (a terrific scene) ... and an ill-advised meetup at her latest job. Additional support work is provided by Connie Nielsen as the demented woman who raised and trained Emma, and their final meeting provides the impetus for the third act. Other than Bill Nighy's too-brief role, the best part of the film is seeing rare comedic chops from David Oyelowo. It's a joy to see such a well-respected and talented actor show yet another side on screen. Kaley Cuoco doesn't fare quite as well, as her TV sitcom approach defies believability. For those in search of some mindless entertainment with a side dose of action, the movie should work just fine. Opens nationwide in theaters on January 12, 2024.
