Why have this movie eluded me until now late in 2021? Sure, I had stumbled upon the movie earlier this year, but the movie's cover/poster was one that made me believe that this was just another Bob Odenkirk comedy, so I put off sitting down to watch it.

And now that I finally took the time to watch it, I must admit that I had certainly been missing out on a great movie. Wow. Are you kidding me, this movie was just spectacular and entertaining from start to end.

The storyline in "Nobody", as written by Derek Kolstad, was really something else. With the movie starting out tediously set with repetitive routines, the storyline slowly starts to unfold and director Ilya Naishuller slowly piles on more and more of storytelling and action scenes. Boy there was an abundance of good action to be seen in "Nobody".

I have to admit that I am now looking at Bob Odenkirk in a whole new light here, after having seen his performance in "Nobody". This was an amazing change of pace for this guy, and he really managed to carry the movie well with his performance, showing that he can do action movies as good as he can do comedy.

This movie had a great cast ensemble, with the likes of Bob Odenkirk putting on a rather surprising performance. But also have the likes of Michael Ironside, Connie Nielsen and Christopher Lloyd on the cast list.

"Nobody" was a movie that just sidewinded me, and this is without a doubt a movie that you must sit down and watch, should you get the chance. Especially if you enjoy a good old fashioned action movie with a good story, great pacing and an abundance of action.

My rating of "Nobody" lands on a well-deserved seven out of ten stars.

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.

Yes the grammar would be wrong if I actually meant to say "anybody". There are things that you know are wrong (double negatives) and then there are things that may feel wrong (guilty pleasures) but actually are soooooo right! More than right to be exact! And considering the age of Bob Odenkirk it is quite the achievement they made him look so good during the action scenes - same rings true for Christopher Lloyd! An icon in his own right.

So the casting is amazing and the poster sort of tells you what is going to happen in the movie. It does not give you any backstory or context ... but that you will get in the movie. Yes certain things are convienient and yes for some it may take a bit too much time until the action really starts ... but like with John Wick, there is a reason our main character goes off ... a small reason for some and considering how that turns out ... or pops up (no pun intended), one can see how it all could have been avoided ... of course the lid could not have been kept on for much longer anyway.

Very well edited (especially the mundane everyday or week happenings) our main character has to go through. There are things that may not make much sense, but there might be some deleted scenes which would explain why for example our main character does not seem to be bothered that he lost his Metro (sub) card ... and we all notice because it is being used often ... not in a different manner mind you, but for what it is was invented and intended.

Having said all that, the movie is really fun to watch. I wouldn't mind getting a sequel to this ... which I reckon the ending sort of suggests anyway ...

"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.

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.
