Nobody

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.

You'll have to go back pretty far to find another bloody good time! This is a shocker in current year and refreshing! By the 32m mark, I'm going crazy! This is a throwback to a time when guys just turned off their brains and enjoyed a flick. This movie knows what it is and makes no apology. I only wish I'd saw this in theaters. Bob is awesome! Glad I found this.

A husband and father becomes the target of a vengeful drug lord.

Bob Odenkirk is absolutely outstanding here.

Director Ilya Naishuller and writer by Derek Kolstad offer a sharp film, with great action set ups, that's wonderfully filmed with credible looking locations. Connie Nielsen is slightly wasted that said there's a fantastic extended cameo from Christopher Lloyd. The supporting cast and solid including Michael Ironside and Colin Salmon. Aleksei Serebryakov as Yulian Kuznetsov is memorable.

With a great soundtrack it works perfectly until it goes into John Wick, Equalizer territory, that aside there's enough story tweaks to keep it fresh, in addition to echoing a modern Death Wish with a touch of A-Team and Macgyver to name a few it's a great ride.

Overall, a hard hitting fun must see action. Worth watching for Odenkirk alone.

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 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'.

I was intrigued by this movie as Bob Odenkirk was in the lead role in the movie. Since the scriptwriter and producers of this movie are also in the team of the John Wick series, I was expecting this kind of movie. First of all, the movie is great. The acting is great, the action is very good, the director did a great job too. This is one of the surprise movies of the year. It was fun movie.
