Nobody-2 (2025)
The story: Three years after the events of Nobody (2021), the Mansell family have returned to their daily suburban routine. To heal rifts within his family, Hutch (Bob Odenkirk) takes everyone, including his father David (Christopher Lloyd), to a vacation spot he liked as a child – Wild Bill’s Majestic Midway and Waterpark. But when his children are bullied by the locals, Hutch has to decide what kind of man to be. A normal guy who avoids conflict, as his wife Becca (Connie Nielsen) urges him to be, or the father who uses his training as an assassin to protect his family?
Nobody 2 may be a step down from its delightful predecessor, but it’s still a great deal of fun in its own right. Odenkirk makes for a winning sadsack everyman antihero, most of the comedy lands, and Tjahjanto and his wickedly talented stunt team don’t skimp on the visually rambunctious hand-to-hand, sword-to-sword, knife-to-knife, and gun-to-(tommy)gun theatrics. For everyone who enjoyed the first film, it’s likely this sequel will also hit the spot just fine. (Movie Freak)
It’s deliciously violent and vicariously cathartic, tapping into everyone’s need to protect their family. (Kevin Carr, Rotten Tomatoes)
I absolutely loved this. I hope Bob Odenkirk makes ten of these. It’s so cathartic watching assholes get beaten up, I don’t care how clichéd the story is. Actually it struck me that it was very similar to Equalizer 2, right down to luring the bad guys to a place and setting traps. The duck boat fight easily equals the bus fight, maybe even surpassed it, because they included even more jokes. The only thing I really didnt like was the end fight, such as it was. We watch Hutch dispatch dozens of big, burly highly trained men, yet these two girls manage to beat him up for plot reasons without being set up as a threat earlier. It’s insulting to the audience.
