I agree with some of your points, but the movie was still more interesting than typical Hollywood fare. Compare it, for example, to Stealth, Monster-In-Law, or Sahara . . . (yes, I refused to see all three).
Yes, the plot breaks down at times (why didn't Maria call the police when Ed and thugs have the standoff in Viggo's frontyard!!), but at least it has a fairly coherent plot with occasional lapses, rather than total absence of plot feasibility.
You're totally right about kid asking whether Viggo would "whack" him! On the other hand, I think most of us enjoyed Viggo's "whacking" the gangsters.
I'm also glad to see Viggo have the opportunity to do something quite different from LOR trilogy. Hildalgo was so crummy that Viggo didn't have a chance.
