"Nobody" is an incredibly unusual film for Bob Odenkirk. I assumed at first it was a comedy. After all, that's his background as he began as a writer for "Conan O'Brien" and "Saturday Night Live". However, the film is incredibly violent and makes "Rambo: First Blood II" look like a Disney flick!! So, if you hate violent and bloody films, try something else as it is NOT a comedy.

When the story begins, a couple crooks break into Hutch's house and rob them. At one point, Hutch's teenage son subdues one of the robbers but Hutch seems to freeze and tells the son to let them go. Now at this point, you assume the film will be about Hutch regaining his sense of manhood by deliberately putting himself into dangerous situations in order to prove he's not a coward. This is NOT what happens. Yes, he soon is involved in a dangerous situation on a bus...but where it goes next and what Hutch does is difficult to believe....as what Hutch's father (Christopher Lloyd) does. You just have to see it to believe it. I could say more but don't want to spoil the surprises...and there are quite a few.

I am not a violent film fan but really felt myself being pulled into this movie. It's pretty amazing...as is the fact (at least according to IMDB) that Odenkirk did most of his own stunts!!! You just have to see it to believe it.

I was intrigued by this movie as Bob Odenkirk was in the lead role in the movie. Since the scriptwriter and producers of this movie are also in the team of the John Wick series, I was expecting this kind of movie. First of all, the movie is great. The acting is great, the action is very good, the director did a great job too. This is one of the surprise movies of the year. It was fun movie.

A husband and father becomes the target of a vengeful drug lord.

Bob Odenkirk is absolutely outstanding here.

Director Ilya Naishuller and writer by Derek Kolstad offer a sharp film, with great action set ups, that's wonderfully filmed with credible looking locations. Connie Nielsen is slightly wasted that said there's a fantastic extended cameo from Christopher Lloyd. The supporting cast and solid including Michael Ironside and Colin Salmon. Aleksei Serebryakov as Yulian Kuznetsov is memorable.

With a great soundtrack it works perfectly until it goes into John Wick, Equalizer territory, that aside there's enough story tweaks to keep it fresh, in addition to echoing a modern Death Wish with a touch of A-Team and Macgyver to name a few it's a great ride.

Overall, a hard hitting fun must see action. Worth watching for Odenkirk alone.

There's a lot of gunshots, fights and blood. There so much violence that it becomes over the top funny. The last scene literally becomes Home Alone, watch it and you'll know what I mean.

If you are into John Wick type of films, you will be quite interested. But it's not exactly that kind of film this one. Mostly because there is no horse-riding and cartoon-ish absurdity in action sequences. There's "slightly" more realism and the fact that the hero of this film seems vulnerable makes it more interesting; Bob Odenkirk does look like an everyday day guy in this film. But the action scenes and the fights are excellent and he does an excellent job nailing them! The film starts off well, somewhat slow and picks up faster pace within 20 min. Right at that point, there is one scene which is rather stupidly set-up to give way for the rest of the story...the one with the bus...but later things do improve. The bus sequence is excellent action, don't get me wrong. It's just the way it was setup prior to the action. But... don't look for any script/scene consistency...just enjoy. Runtime is excellent for this genre; just 1h 30min, it never ever gets boring. It's just a cool movie overall, it won't get an Oscar or stay in your movie library but it will provide great entertainment! 7.5/10 for the fun.
