Killers was better the first time we saw it… when it was called True Lies.
The older title successfully combines all the elements of a top-tier espionage classic and then it brings in a likable, dynamic housewife to keep the female crowd in the film.
Tom Arnold was a rock solid sidekick for Arnold Schwarzenegger, Ashton has no one.
Harry Tasker has a reason for people to try and kill him and his family, Spencer not so much.
In True Lies, a subplot develops where Harry has reason to spy on Helen to see if she’s cheating on him.
In Killers, the idea is simply suggested without logic.
Killers completely shames the tradition of the espionage sub-genre; training missions have a more elaborate scheme, and they usually go to the trouble of making sense out of the background story.
By the end of it, you realize that all the twists you expected to be revealed are not only presented but also nonsensical.
The more you think about it, the bigger the waste of time it becomes.
Still, it’s easy to recognize that Killers is more rom com than spy thriller, and with that in mind, it’s almost a treat since the gunfire and explosions will entertain a male date better than the dialogue found in the standard chick flick. 
Spencer Aimes (Kutcher) is just your average, undercover, government-hired super-assassin accustomed to a life of exotic European locales, flashy sports cars and even flashier women.
But when he meets Jen Kornfeldt (Heigl), a beautiful, fun-loving computer tech recovering from a bad break-up, he finds true love…and happily trades international intrigue for domestic bliss.
Three years later, Spencer and Jen are still enjoying a picture-perfect marriage – that is, until the morning after Spencer’s 30th birthday.
That’s when Spencer and Jen learn he’s the target of a multi-million dollar hit.

Even worse, the hired killers have been stalking the happy couple for years, and could be anyone: friends, neighbors, the grocery store clerk, even that crabby old guy shuffling across the street.
Now Spencer and Jen are on the run for their lives.
As their suburban paradise turns into a paranoid game of dodge-the-bullet, they must find out who wants Spencer dead and why, all the while trying to save their marriage, manage his in-laws, keep up neighborly appearances … and just plain survive.
this is your popcorn hour!
