The Spy Next Door (2010) 7/10

Starring : Jackie Chan, Amber Valletta, Magnus Scheving
Director : Brian Levant
Running Time : 91 mins

CIA agent Bob Ho (Chan) has decided to give up his job after finally capturing the notorious Poldark (Scheving) so that he can spend more time with his girlfriend Gillian (Valletta), but when she has to go out of town he is left to take care of her three children, none of whom are that fond of him. But when Poldark escapes, he comes after Ho who now has to protect the three youngsters from the life of an international spy.

This wasn't that bad, but it's nowhere near one of Chan's best movies. The plot is not original in any way, and the whole secret agent having to take care of kids plot line has been as recently as 2005 with Vin Diesel in The Pacifier. Still, there are a few nice fight scenes - it just a shame the villains are so kiddie orientated and kitschy.
