The film will be directed by Matt Spicer, who is best known for 'Ingrid Goes West.'

As per Deadline, the film is an adaptation of Alex North's novel of the same name and follows a widowed crime writer who seeks help from his estranged father, a retired police detective, after his 8-year-old son is abducted.

She will also return for the sequel to The Family Plan with Mark Wahlberg.

Another Hollywood movie with zero Indian representation...when will they cast talented actors from Bollywood in meaningful roles? We have so much talent here that gets ignored.

John Cena and Eric Andre together again? This is going to be hilarious! Their chemistry on The Eric Andre Show was mad funny. Can't wait to see what they do in this movie.

The plot sounds interesting but I hope they don't make it too American-centric. Would be great if they could include some global perspectives or at least make it relatable internationally.

Michelle Monaghan is such an underrated actress! She deserves more recognition. Loved her in Mission Impossible series too. Hope this comedy showcases her range.

Netflix is really stepping up their comedy game. After Extraction 2's success in India, hope they promote this one well here too. We need more light-hearted content amidst all the serious shows!
