Nobody is a fast, action-packed, violent tale of vengeance, living in the same street as John Wick, Derek Kolstad wrote it, and Nobody is nearly the same film. Given that deadpan and comedic Bob Odenkirk is the lead, fresh off his turn in Breaking Bad and the spin-off Better Call Saul you would expect this film would have a more fun element to it. At the beginning we do get a sense of underlying comedy and with the violence non-existent this is the better film. Even the over-the-top cartoon violence of the ‘bus attack’ being more personal the film held my attention, Odenkirk gets battered and hurt, in real he would be dead or seriously injured, but this film is not about that and it is churlish to pick out realism as a failing.
The action when it happens is frenetic, well-choreographed and exciting, particularly when it is small and personal, but it is as if director Naishuller (Hardcore Henry) forgot the whole first acts of the film and we end up with every Russian, fighting Bob, his brother RZA and his 82-year-old dad played by Christopher Lloyd, funny but stupid. Yet again though it appears to thousands of men with guns willing to die horribly to serve their gangster boss, all dying in horrible ways. It is all a bit familiar.
This is a professionally made well-crafted action film, with ultra-violence, gunplay and even Home Alone booby traps, yet for me the best filmmaking, the most effective sequence comes at the very beginning of the film, a choppily edited opening sequence underlining the boring mundane life Hutch lives. Quick, sharp, to-the-point and in a few repeated shots you know exactly what our main character appears to be.
For lovers of action-packed-violence, this will be enough but for those that worship at the ever-diminishing returns of John Wick it will not be enough, they will like it but will forget it soon after watching and waiting patiently for ‘John Wick 6, He Kills the Whole World’.
What we have is a revenge story, told in a cartoon-style with little or no sense to the plot from the beginning that gets even more nonsensical the longer it goes on but it is made for a specific audience. For those that like being on ‘Revenge Street’ but perhaps prefer a little more meat on the bone I would recommend Blue Ruin or even something like the original Death Wish, even Straw Dogs having said this for action, and let us be honest, mindless violence there are too many to pick from.
As you may have guessed this type of action-film with bish-bash-violence leaves me mainly cold and under the right circumstances I could fall asleep watching most of them, I really liked the original John Wick but due to the success of that film we have Nobody which does not do anything different enough to distinguish it. Cardboard cut-out Russian gangsters (sigh) led by famous Russian actor Aleksey Serebryakov raised my eyebrows and from that point they never really dropped again. I wish someone would make this type of film and try something innovative and different, similar to zombie-films, ultra-action films are in serious danger of overloading the market and disappearing up their own fundamentals. Shame really, there could be something there for good filmmakers to get a grip of.
Nobody will be watched by a lot of people and forgotten fairly soon, which is disappointing there is a lot of talent on show and that is not just my writing about it.
Absolutely loved this! Best action film I’ve seen for awhile.
The comparisons to John Wick are inevitable, and they're not in this movie's favor. John Wick is just a tighter, more stylish, more visceral version of this story. That being said, Bob Odenkirk is fantastic, and arguably better than Keanu Reeves. Not a bad way to spend a hour and a half.
Could really see the comparisons with John Wick, however it just didn’t deliver on the same level. Don’t get me wrong it was a good film, full-on nonsensical action perfect for a Saturday night!!
When I saw the trailer for this I was pretty hyped, because sometimes I really have craving for some old fashioned fist to the face action. It looked like John Wick but starring Saul Goodman and somehow also Doc Brown!? I was not sure how well it would work since I mostly knew Bob Odenkirk from his roles in Breaking Bad where he seems rather fragile and ....old. Not quite "too old for this shit" but you know.
To my surprise this fear was wiped away pretty quick.
The movie is really fun (although quite graphic at times), had some pretty new ideas and a great pacing. If you want to see good (old) Saul kick some ass, you're in for a treat.
sorry folks. silly movie. stick to john wick if this stuff is to your liking.
I loved it. It's refreshing to see Bob Odenkirk in something other than the BreakingBad-iverse
Quite a solid film. However, with a transparent, completely uninspired run-of-the-mill plot full of stereotypical characters and actions.
What didn't follow the familiar scheme often seems far-fetched or even ridiculous.
Bob Odenkirk saves the film with his acting skills, which are above reproach. No less noteworthy is the now very old Christopher LLoyd, who has lost none of his youthful charisma and unmistakable presence.
And although the antagonist was the textbook Schema F villain, I found his performance extremely good. I wasn't familiar with the actor until now, but he has - besides talent - everything you need for the role. Thumbs up!
All in all, a film that burbles along on the side, and while it doesn't disappoint immensely, it doesn't offer anything special either.
1.21 gigawatts of bullet ballet and Home Alone shit with crazy set pieces designed to rid Odenkirk of the need to be a Walter White.
"Give me the goddamn kitty cat bracelet, motherfucker!"
Christopher Lloyd with a shotgun is the best damn thing ever right?
Anyway I had high expectations going into Nobody. Read loads and loads of positive things and I love John Wick and I adore Bob Odenkirk. So yeah, it fucking rocked! The story is simple but it works. Bob Odenkirk is fantastic and looks like a true action hero. The tons of Russians who try to kill Hutch (Odenkirk) make him look fantastic. There is a bus scene which will be remembered for a long, long time. We have a final shootout that is epic with RZA and Christopher Lloyd coming in. We have hints of a sequel at the end (which wasn't necessary). And how about that epic soundtrack? Once again a soundtrack can truly elevate a movie.
So yeah, I like Nobody and encourage you to watch it, because you who wouldn't want to see a Doc Brown with a freaking shotgun?
This was Fun.
For sure.
Great film….. loved it… just enough action. Good storyline and Bob Odenkirk…… he is very calm cool and collected until you f**ck with him…. A great watch…. Very entertaining
A friend told me "if you can get past the whole its Saul thing then it's a great movie" loved it from start to finish. I hope there is a sequel.
I don't watch many movies, and I pick carefully when I do, so it's been a long, long time since I saw a truly awful one. I watched this because of Odenkirk, and am shocked at how he ended up in such a pile of utter pointless crap as this movie. You'd think as one of the best dramatic TV actors around right now, he'd be able to pick and choose his roles but instead he's in.... this?
Nice use of music. Other than that, there is literally nothing to recommend this turgid mess.
I'm really glad I went totally blind into this movie, not having seen the trailer or anything! I just saw the trailer today at the movies, and I think not knowing what the movie was really about made me enjoy it that much more. If I could I'd never watch trailers again, haha!
Much fun.
enjoyed it more than any of the John Wick flicks.
It's all good man.
John Wick-ed: if thought Wick going after the Russian mob because of a dog and a car was disproportionate, you should see what Hutch Mansell does because of a kitty cat bracelet.
After watching a copy of Nobody that fell off the back of a truck (because of the lockdown), I was excited to see this on the big screen. Nobody didn't disappoint me!
One and only problem I found in this movie is it's playback time. Everything was just action and action and action, back to back.
okay it's been a while since last time i watched an action movie
so
this was epic one
not the great story
but the scenes was really good, music too and that spirit that makes you feel soooo damn good with it
i liked
Saul Goodman playing as John Wick. Amazing!
Tons of fun from beginning to end.
This is for action movie fans. You can watch this till releasing Jhon whick chapert 4.
superb
Back to the Mother Future! What a bleeding cool movie. Who knew Bob Odenkirk could be so 'McFly' and Christopher Lloyd is always a boss. Overall this film felt like a blast from the pre-pandemic past.
A really enjoyable romp from start to finish. Some of the most inventive action seems I have seen for sometime. It has rightly been compared to John Wick but I think that undersells this. This has a lot of charm and you do root for the main character far more.
Great to see Christopher Lloyd having some fun as well.
Recommend watching and I am likely to watch this a second time before I do the same for any of the John Wicks...
Great film…..script, direction and acting at its best.
Loved Christopher Lloyd’s character, great to see he had quite an unexpected role lol
I hope they make part 2 of this.. great movie
Brain function off and you are going to enjoy it.It's well made with great directing and funny. 6.4/10
How come the writer of john wick series write almost the same movie but with a different name,even the same Russian Mafia as the bad guys to kill?!!these copycat movies will burn the value of john wick universe.
Better call John Wick and Atomic Blonde for a team-up movie.
A masterpiece for fans of John Wick or Taken. This is exactly what I'm looking for in an enjoyable action movie. There isn't as much at stake (like a dog), but choreography is beautiful and Bob is awesome (which we all know, but was a surprise in an action role).
A perfect 10!
Nothing really compelling. Expected better from a fine actor like Bon Odenkirk. I guess people sometimes work just for the money.
A fun ride! A simple concept that doesn't try too hard or go too far. Saul worked well as a nobody that kicks ass! I had to leave halfway through the movie and couldn't wait to see the ending. Don't think too much, just enjoy the show.
If you like action movies, this one is a special one. One to see good stuff in his genre.
Not to give away any plot details. Better acting, worse fighting

This is how you make a 'hardcore' and interesting action flick! 8/10
Its John Wick lite. From the beginning I was thinking just a suburb man who just got fed up. NOPE. I'm wrong. Its so deliciously unexpected from all of these actors. The great little unexplained things just add to the story.
Michael Ironside got big. Holy crap. You arent leading no Starship Troopers no more.
I enjoyed it very much. I didn't go into the movie expecting some sort of sophisticated plot and I think that was the correct decision. Odenkirk delivered a pretty good acting performance. His character wasn't someone leaving every fight without a scratch, it just made him more "human" being able to take some hard blows, although his backstory - if you wanna call it that - made him out to be some sort of death god which I didn't enjoy that much. However, it was an enjoyable film. I'm gonna remember the bus scene for a while. it was just glorious.
Great movie - didn't know a whole lot about it before watching.
It's action-packed and not one of those suspend complete logic for 90 minutes ones. Yes, there's a couple of bits in the ending shoot-out, but otherwise, it's entertaining and keeps you interested with a bit of humour thrown in. 10/10
Like holding an exploding hand grenade, it starts off with a bang and then all the pieces slowly fall into place.
Bon Odenkirk's effort to kick off a John Wick franchise isn't the worst of the clones to fall off the rack, though I would've liked a story that reached the same level as Naishuller's directing (have you seen Hardcore Henry? -- you either love it or you hate it when you're wrong) and Odenkirk's acting. Still, good fun for a Saturday night.
This was hella fun, but I need to say please don't go in with John Wick in your head because all you will do is compare it and though it is similar they don't need to be compared. Let's start with the plot which is a mixture of Falling Down and John Wick (Jeremy Jahns said it and he was right) this makes it really interesting the entire way through and what this film does well is develop its characters within the short run time very quickly, it is a revenge film but underneath it is more about a man who is just really tired of his every day and just wants to go back to the days when he was kicking ass and taking names.
Bob Odenkirk (Hutch Mansell) is flawless in this film as you can see he really trained up for this film and actually I have to say any fight scene he was in (not action scene) felt realistic as you can feel his pain but also feel his motivation to keep getting back up, also need to give credit to Connie Nielsen (Becca Mansell) because in a lot of these films the main character's partner can either be very annoying or just be very stupid but she came off as someone who understands why and though not totally cool with it, they seem like a real couple.
Ilya Naishuller is a great action director and I am so happy he now has his shot at a mainstream film, please support it and try to watch it as I feel like action fans will love it but also film lovers will like it as well.
P.S. Though I said don't compare to John Wick, I really hope the writer Derek Kolstad is planning to cross it over because it seems perfect.
I was expecting something entirely different. Like suburban dad gone mad. It's more plausible than John Wick, but with better acting!
Bob Odenkirk kicks ass!!
A Stella cast and although its all been done in other ways before is now due to the cast one of my favourite movies.
Need to watch again, very brutal but loved it, ye its been done before in other ways but a great cast and flowed well, Doc brown fabulous as always.
VIP6John Wick meets A History of Violence with more humor which is a pretty good entertaining combination.
I'd heard good things about this one. It took a little while but I wasn't disappointed. This was one of the best action flicks I've seen in a while. And it was refreshing in mixing great action with funny comedic moments.
No doubt someone will be dreaming up a sequel.
Better than many. Better than expected.
Good acting in an action movie.

Good action, nice choice of music...
A 1.5-hour entertainment.
Almost identical to "John Wick", the previous work of the screenwriter. But it's good, though.
I have only just finished watching this movie and I really want to give it time to sink in before I offer a rating on it.
What I can say here though it that this exceeded my expectations, I was thinking it would be something with a more comedic tone but it didn't turn out that way (though it had it's moments).
The family life of the lead could have been better fleshed out but that would have been at the expense of either an overly long movie or cut action sequences and it didn't really need that.
An exceptional cast throughout but it was all about Bob Odenkirk who played this brilliantly.
Dude!
Watch this, like now!
WHAT FUN!! This would be the blue-collar version of the John Wick series of movies. Nobody's first fight in the movie was painful. He was obviously still rusty at the time. But the more he fought the better he got. Plus we got to see Christoper Lloyd kick some ass.
How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!
Forget the script, this is a great action flick. Move over Charles Bronson it is Bob Nobody!1
Damn the visuals are dope! HDR done right!
It takes the typical revenge fantasy of John Wick, deconstructs it by adding elements of low self-esteem, fragile masculinity and a Kafkaesque sense of mundanity, but in the end reconstructs it by embracing and celebrating said revenge fantasy.
A thoroughly enjoyable action comedy.
John Wick meets Bryan Mills (Taken) who both meet Robert McCall (Equalizer), a lot of action, just what I needed.
Fucking diabolical. 10 out of 10.
John Wick and Taken meets... Office Space!
Wonderful break from the usual tedium of new releases. 90 minutes - yet the first 20 minutes is actually a little oddly paced. Too slow yet establishes a routine to build the plot from.
Bob Odenkirk plays it really well. Corinne Nielsen does okay with the little she is given, and Christopher Lloyd makes a meal from his scraps. Loved it!
Pantomime level violence and a brilliant use of music throughout the action sequences...
I'd really appreciate a sequel.
8/10
It's John weak! Almost nothing is over the top with this one, just plain simple fun with a regular plot..
Despite its contradictions , I enjoyed this movie.
It's John Wick that's trying to obey the laws of the universe. That is a gift as well as curse.
Trying to have it both ways.
Still, good fun.
Perfection.
Acting, Story, Action, Directing.
A movie worth to say Perfection.
what a rush.....hell f&_+ing yeah!
This is your typical John Wick/Equalizer kind of flick, and I loved it.
Good action with a decent screenwrite and awesome cast.
Won't say more, but if you like action movies don't miss this one.
I let it sneak up on me, and I was completely surprised...and, that's the way it works best. Even after watching his interview and all the clips there IS still enough to surprise you...and, it was a delight!

A film about how vigilante justice is bad, made by people who think vigilante justice is good.
