Nobody 2

In the end, Nobody 2 is about gratification. The fantasy that the bad guys never stand a chance. That justice is swift, brutal, and delivered without hesitation. It’s not subtle, but then again, subtlety never gets a standing ovation. And maybe, this summer, we need that more than ever.

Beyond the brutal violence and clever quips there’s a specific call-back to a type of film that flourished in the decades past, one that recognized fully that the specific joy of watching people get punched in the face doesn’t need to be wrapped in a dour or overly complex narrative.

For a while, the movie is like “National Lampoon’s Vacation” if Clark Griswold had secretly been Steven Seagal. Is it remotely “believable”? No. But “Nobody 2,” like “Nobody” before it, unfolds in its own weirdly grounded action-fantasy universe. Odenkirk has the ability to make behaving glumly fretful seem like a form of slyness; he’s really creating a conspiracy with the audience.

It’s an okay movie if all you want is an everyman dad doing superhero-ish things while getting beaten up along the way, but it’s neither as wildly entertaining nor as exhilarating as its predecessor.

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

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.

Somebody, anybody, should drag Odenkirk away from this nobody franchise.

Love It! The start is not soo good, but after is great and very fun action movie :)

Nobody 2 is basically an action choreography flick and nothing more. This John Wick / Taken inspired films may be great to watch, but after so many imitations, it feels all the same. Still watchable, with as surprising performance by Sharon Stone as the villain, but not as good as its predecessor.

The first Nobody was a surprisingly enjoyable action film. Bob Odenkirk kicked ass, and the action scenes were fantastic. The sequel delivers more of those entertaining set pieces, with the final act being especially fun to watch.That said, this is a weaker sequel. The first film struck a nice balance between realism and comedy, but this entry cranks up the silliness and humour too much. The plot feels bland and uninspired, like something straight out of the ’90s, and Sharon Stone gives a genuinely poor performance as the ****’s a shame, because there was real potential here to explore more of Hutch and Becca’s backstory. Instead, we’re left with a decent but ultimately forgettable 90-minute action flick.

Less "Taken" and more "Taken 3". Mr. Odenkirk does his best, and the rest of the family cast are adequate. Colin Hanks is solid as one of the antagonists. Rza, love him as I do was only OK, and just basically plays the RZA somehow getting to cosplay his life long Wu-Tang dream of becoming a Ninja. The person who absolutely ruins the film is Sharon Stone. As the primary antagonist, Mrs. Stone completely failed to carry her weight and seemed to be trying to channel some sort of Nick Cage energy. She fails MISERABLY. Some really crappy non-Odenkirk dialog in this film as well.

I would rather rewatch the remake of Road House than this absolute bag of smashed butt cheeks
