Action fans, prepare for another adrenaline-fueled ride with Bob Odenkirk in Nobody 2! The Better Call Saul star proves once again he's got serious action chops as Hutch Mansell, the seemingly ordinary suburban dad with extraordinary skills. When what should have been a peaceful family vacation turns into a violent confrontation with the past, we're treated to a rollercoaster of high-octane sequences and dark humor that builds on the unexpected success of the original film.
This sequel brings back the John Wick-esque action with a distinctive comedic tone that sets it apart in the crowded action thriller landscape. Christopher Lloyd joins the cast as Hutch's father, though his screen time feels somewhat limited compared to what the trailer promised. Sharon Stone takes on villain duties as Lendina, with a performance that occasionally veers into excessive territory. Meanwhile, Colin Hanks makes an appearance that might contain a clever nod to his father's iconic Toy Story role.
What makes Nobody 2 work is Odenkirk's committed performance and the film's unpretentious approach to delivering entertainment. The storyline cleverly mirrors classic vacation comedies before turning them on their head with assassin backstories and samurai-skilled adopted brothers. While heavy on profanity and violence, it delivers exactly what action fans crave – impressive fight choreography, unexpected humor, and a protagonist you can't help but root for. Whether you've seen the original or not, Nobody 2 stands on its own as a solid 3.5/5 star experience that knows exactly what it wants to be. Have you checked it out yet? Let us know your thoughts and if you think it lives up to the original!
