Nobody was written by Derek Kolstad, same author of 2014's John Wick. Hahaha, again ^_^ a humble widower is moved to reignite his highly trained assassin's nature when his dog is in jeopardy. A home invasion that serves as a catalyst for Hutch's revenge . The action scenes are both well-choreographed and wildly entertaining. It worth mentioning that the relationship between Hutch and his wife and kids remain underexplored---they're sort of a throwaway part of the plot. Very little that happens feels plausible, but that's forgivable because all that Nobody is simply a slick, exciting B-movie. Watchers shall not take its seriously, otherwise it might not that compelling. Anyway, it is ony a popcorn --- action-packed, over-the-top and often wickedly funny much like John Wick and Free Fire.
The one and only thing that separates Nobody from dozens and dozens of expertly crafted, wildly interchangeable “underestimated badass” films is the utter brilliance of its casting. Bob Odenkirk makes a believable family man-turned-action hero. He's got great comedic timing when delivering some of the funny one-liners with some deadpan acting. Furthermore, Christopher Lloyd as Hutch's father, with a lot of fun to watch. It's also worth mentioning the director Ilya Naishuller's use of music which adds to the movie's amusing bizarreness, ie the action scenes set to slow-motion.
At a lean running time of just 1 hour and 32 minutes, Nobody is a wildly entertaining journey(((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o))). . . . . outrageous, wickedly funny.
