The aftermath of the incident strikes a match toWhen two thieves break into his suburban home one night, Hutch (Bob Odenkirk) declines to defend himself or his family, hoping to prevent serious violence. His teenage son, Blake (Gage Munroe), is disappointed in him and his wife, Becca (Connie Nielsen), seems to pull only further away. The aftermath of the incident strikes a match to Hutch’s long-simmering rage, triggering dormant instincts and propelling him on a brutal path that will surface dark secrets and lethal skills. In a barrage of fists, gunfire and squealing tires, Hutch must save his family from a dangerous adversary (Aleksey Serebryakov)—and ensure that he will never be underestimated as a nobody again.… Expand

Nobody is more violent lark than probing satire, but between Bob Odenkirk’s smartly underplayed performance, the surprises in the screenplay by Derek Kolstad (the “John Wick” series) and the puckishly brutal direction of Ilya Naishuller (“Hardcore Henry”), it’s a wonderfully paced and consistently clever action movie that ups the ante of a genre that’s been dominated by Liam Neeson clones.

It’s all very been here, seen that yet there’s something infinitely pleasing about a film doing very little but doing it very well, knowing just how high to aim without aiming any higher, aware of exactly what it can and can’t do. In a tight 91 minutes, without any bloat, Nobody gives us exactly what we want. Read full review

After a year with too few action movies because of the shelving of the blockbuster, Nobody gives viewers an adrenalin rush that almost feels new again. Read full review

This stylish, superficial lark is perhaps too pleased with its central conceit, but director Ilya Naishuller keeps the mayhem and dark laughs rolling at a steady clip. Read full review

It’s all insanely violent and gleefully silly. Stab wounds and bullet holes just don’t slow some people down the way you think they might. Through it all the best part of the film remains the dichotomy of a bland wimp (a character Odenkirk plays so well) who can flip the switch to becoming a remorseless killer — and seeing Odenkirk as the one flipping the switch.

People say this is a remake of John Wick, but the Dodge Charger is WHITE not BLACK and it is a CAT not a dog. but otherwise, it is just a terrible day to be a Russian Mobster.

This movie was what I needed after dealing with two arrogant, unkind and unprofessional nurses at Walgreen's Urgent Care Clinic. Made me wish I had a Hutch on my speed dial.
Odenkirk showed he had a little WW and a lot of Heisenberg in him for this movie.

An absolute blast!

'Nobody' is a supremely entertaining action flick. Most of it actually feels fairly usual for a film of this sort, yet the way everything is presented is great! The pacing is perfection, the musical choices are fully on point and then you also have strong castAn absolute blast!

'Nobody' is a supremely entertaining action flick. Most of it actually feels fairly usual for a film of this sort, yet the way everything is presented is great! The pacing is perfection, the musical choices are fully on point and then you also have strong cast performances.

Bob Odenkirk is of course (rightly) super acclaimed for that role as a certain lawyer elsewhere, so it's nice to see him doing other things. He is superb in this from beginning to end. Aleksei Serebryakov also gives a good performance, as also seen in television's 'McMafia'. Christopher Lloyd and RZA are fun, too.

The action is top notch, especially the fight stuff, and the humour - whilst not in your face - is noteworthy as well. It all comes together to make a fantastic 90 minutes that truly fly by. Gimme 'Nobody 2'.… Expand

Seriously solid action film.

And despite some claims that it's a satire of the genre, that doesn't come through too much and certainly doesn't inhibit the viewer from enjoying it as a straight forward shootem'up. At a time when people need escapist fare more than ever, Hollywood by and large seems only interested in preaching, condescending and scolding rather than allowing people to forget their troubles for 90 minutes. "Nobody" is a truly welcome exception to this tone deaf, postmodernist trend. Let's hope it catches on. It would good if the Entertainment industry got back to the business of actually entertaining.… Expand

While the story here is rather simple, and we have seen this before (think John Wick), it's still an entertaining ride led by the underrated Odenkirk.

Behold our new film badass: Bob Odenkirk. Yes, 'Nobody' is just another John Wick, but that doesn't mean that the movie is boring.

There's no overarching theme that ties it together, no value present in the film, and a complete lack of subtext. The movie hopes to overcome it, like a "Mr and Mrs Smith" or a Michael Bay movie, by "violent entertainment," which at best would get a 1/10. That doesn't come close to justifying all the other film's shortcomings. Gratuitous violence + cookie-cutter, arbitrary plot = bad movie.… Expand
