Review of Nobody

Nobody (I) (2021)
6/10
Nobody
12 June 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Given it stars Bob Odenkirk. You would think that Nobody is a dark comedy drama.

With writer Derek Kolstad involved who is better known for the John Wick movies.

Nobody is really a quirky action thriller in the mould of John Wick and Death Wish.

Hutch Mansell (Odenkirk) lives a routine home and work life. It is a life of drudgery and plodding. Hutch seems sick and tired that the spark has gone.

Yet it turns out that this is the life Hutch wanted. A home invasion reveals the man Hutch used to be.

When he injures a gangster's brother. The Russian gangster comes after Hutch. Only to find that Hutch has a certain set of skills and is a man not to be messed around with.

This is an off centre action thriller. Odenkirk is an unlikely action hero, far departed from the likes of Keanu Reeves and Liam Neeson.

His everyman persona works well, although it seemed evident that Hutch was someone who once worked in special ops or dark espionage.

Some of the violence is over the top, but Nobody is an enjoyable and entertaining action movie.
