Skip it. This premise—suburban wife secretly an assassin, husband finds out through role play—has been done to death, and the execution here lands somewhere between trying too hard to be clever and not trying hard enough. The genre mashup of action-comedy-romance rarely works, and there's nothing in the cast or creative team that suggests this one breaks the mold.

Plot

Emma has a wonderful husband and two kids in the suburbs of New Jersey – she also has a secret life as an assassin for hire – a secret that her husband David discovers when the couple decide to spice up their marriage with a little role play.
