LooperAlistair RyderAug 14, 2025
This is the only genre where you can paper over the flaws with a handful of well-staged set pieces, and thanks to Timo Tjahjanto, it manages to upstage the original on that front. Read full review

Odenkirk as an ageing action hero is still a violent delight, but the storytelling in this sequel leaves much to be desired. Read full review

Screen RantMae AbdulbakiAug 13, 2025
Nobody 2's themes could’ve been better explored, but it’s easy to overlook that and enjoy the fun, action-packed ride. Read full review

The amusing thrills intermittently appear, but the novelty is gone. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Radheyan SimonpillaiAug 22, 2025
As the medley of violence continues, Stone’s mugging goes from giddily sinister to hammy and exhausting. Same goes for Nobody 2, and also the post-John Wick wave of action movies it’s part of. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreAug 15, 2025
The over-the-top violence is funny in the early scenes. But it turns more and more abrupt, more over-the-top and more sadistic the longer the story unfolds. Read full review

The biggest problem with “Nobody 2” is that the surprise factor is gone, and nothing has taken its place. The wow of seeing a generally comedic actor like Bob Odenkirk go John Wick in the fun 2021 sleeper hit isn’t there anymore. Read full review

Slant MagazineDerek SmithAug 13, 2025
Behind the violence and gore, Nobody 2 only offers the skeleton of a narrative. Read full review

The A.V. ClubJacob OllerAug 13, 2025
Though the punches maintain their force in Nobody 2, the sole punchline they support has become a grating dad joke, one that you’ve heard so many times that it’s lost all meaning. Read full review

IndieWireWilson ChapmanAug 13, 2025
Odenkirk seems decidedly checked out: he, along with almost every other actor in the cast, approaches the material with a complete lack of energy, which can pass for an acting choice to represent Hutch’s exhaustion but slowly begins to resemble a boredom with this character. Read full review

The GuardianPeter BradshawAug 14, 2025
This sequel from Indonesian action director Timo Tjahjanto, co-written by the writer of the original, Derek Kolstad, really doesn’t have much of the humour and the storytelling chutzpah of the first film. Read full review

Screen DailyTim GriersonAug 13, 2025
To be sure, Tjahjanto provides these sequences with bruising action, mixed with a touch of dark comedy, but they are shot and staged without much distinction. And because the audience is now no longer startled to learn that nerdy Hutch can kill people, his ability to dispatch dozens of baddies feels anticlimactic. Read full review
