It seemed like my experience with _Nobody_ was hazy, possibly just a glimpse of the trailer during COVID – memory gets fuzzy in those situations, especially before I started using Letterboxd when films feel more like stories than concrete events. Seeing it again now, it's an enjoyable and well-made action movie. Bob Odenkirk is key to its success; he portrays someone completely ordinary who’s been pushed beyond their…

I received this film as part of a rewards program, so I wasn’t familiar with it beforehand or its storyline. Surprisingly, it turned out to be quite enjoyable. It centers around an ordinary individual who's simply worn down by the hardships of life—someone I can relate to, honestly. Then, without much warning, he reaches a breaking point and begins seeking retribution against those who have wronged him.

_Nobody_ delivers a genuinely entertaining experience, and I truly mean that. The action sequences in this film are exceptional; there's a remarkable inventiveness to the camera work and some seriously intense moments that had me reacting physically in a really enjoyable way. I especially appreciated the slow-motion shots, which let you take in every detail of what just unfolded. While the storyline does require a ce…

This movie is an absolute delight! 'Nobody' proves to be a really enjoyable action film. A lot of it feels pretty standard for this kind of movie, but the execution is excellent! The rhythm is just right, the music choices are perfect, and there are some great performances from the actors involved. Bob Odenkirk gets a lot of deserved praise for his role as a lawyer in another series, so it’s good to see him tak…

I wasn’t expecting to enjoy this as much as I did. I picked up the blu-ray simply because Bob Odenkirk was featured on the cover; being a fan of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, I was curious about the film's plot. Going into it, I didn’t know anything about the story, so I experienced it without any preconceived notions. The whole time, I found myself thoroughly entertained. What struck me most was how convincing …

I’ll admit, I'm drawn to revenge stories involving someone getting payback with the help of an unlikely ally, so it shouldn't come as a shock that I found this film entertaining. I’ve heard some people draw parallels between this and John Wick, but I don’t really see it. The core idea is similar, certainly, but beyond that, they feel like distinct movies within the same genre—or maybe even a subgenre. John Wick…

The film Nobody largely succeeds thanks to the unexpected choice of Bob Odenkirk (appearing in Little Women) as a central character who is both tough and shows emotional depth, alongside impressive stunt performances from Greg Rementer and Dan Skene, and strong direction by Ilya Naishuller. The screenplay, written by Derek Kolstad—the person behind the John Wick movies featuring Keanu Reeves—feels somewhat like an ex…

Sometimes, when everyday existence feels dull and draining, a jolt of action is exactly what's needed. “Nobody” delivers that in ninety-two minutes—a concentrated dose of aggravation, excitement, and outright craziness. But could there be a more effective method for dealing with stress? Let’s take a look. The film centers on Hutch Mansell, a man who has a family but finds his existence far from thrilling. His usual s…

I want to state upfront that I'm a big Bob Odenkirk enthusiast, so my perspective might be skewed as a result. Nevertheless, whether or not you’re familiar with his work, this film proved to be quite entertaining. What really stood out was the way it blended everyday experiences with the character’s remarkable history.

This movie provides entertainment if you’re willing to switch off critical thinking. Ilya delivers a chaotic experience, and Odenkirk is great as usual; even when the storyline falters and struggles to hold together, there's plenty of exciting action to maintain your interest. However, it doesn’t quite succeed in its final moments, and the resolution (without giving away any details) felt underwhelming. I didn’t anti…

I’ve mentioned before that action thrillers aren't really my thing; I’m open to them, but they rarely grab me the way a western or science fiction film might. So, it says something that this one managed to keep me engaged throughout its runtime. I decided to check it out mainly because of Bob Odenkirk, although I don’t automatically picture him as an action star. The plot and characters didn't particularly resonat…

If you're anticipating *John Wick 4*, this should help pass the time. It doesn’t quite reach the same level of filmmaking or action sequences, but it functions well as a simple, enjoyable distraction. The film is essentially non-stop action, so viewers are unlikely to find it dull.

It's not always necessary for a narrative to be groundbreaking or logical; occasionally, what matters is providing a thrilling experience—a generous helping of weaponry, brutal fights, and spectacular blasts, all seasoned with understated wit and heightened emotion. "Nobody" provides precisely that, and introduces a fresh face in the action genre. I enjoyed watching it late at night, and it was quite entertaining.
SWITCH.
While the screenplay from Derek Kolstad, who previously worked on 'John Wick,' doesn't entirely succeed this time—and I did notice a few plot points that seemed off—it remains an enjoyable and over-the-top adventure that should satisfy action movie lovers, and it certainly did for me. Plus, Christopher Lloyd and RZA are present, delivering plenty of fighting and tough talk, which might be appealing to some.
