Nobody was a movie that surprised me with how fun, violent and entertaining it turned out to be. Its the kind of action movie we need more of these days.

Have you been around a child that's lost their favorite toy, blanket or trinket? Yeah it's pretty much worth go'n John Wick on some folks to restore order.
LOL I love that these movies just keep lowering the stakes. As if anyone really needs a reason to kick the everloving out of criminal scumbags. I honestly admire that the catalyst for these heroic rampages are becoming more and more down to earth (in a refreshing inverse to disney upping the stakes to encompass all of reality like they've got something to prove) Sometimes, it's the simplest things that are worth fighting for.
My favorite part about Nobody is the use of visual humor over quips and one liners. The bus fight is simultaneously brutal and hilarious at the same time
Hollywood like "No! What are you doing?She's supposed to be a poc who belittles him for lying and takes part in the action turning out to be an even better secret assassin and saves the day. Also they're divorced too, heterosexual marriage can't be glorified anymore."
@Turbo Teddy this is juvenile as hell but remember when Fat Bastard first shows up in Dr. Evil's lair? *DOOF! DOOF!* "first thing's first. Where's yer' shitter? I got a turtle head pokin' out!" Like that.
When she helped him glue up his stab wound, it was clear that Hutch’s wife knew his full background. That was reinforced at the end when she also wanted a house with a basement.
Not necessarily. I think she didn't know his FULL background, just that he probably worked for a special sector or as a special agent. I don't even think anyone is allowed to know that, family or not - and seeing how he cared for his family, I don't think he would risk it by giving it away. After all the government doesn't erase your entire history just so you can tell it others... And the basement part: I'm pretty sure it's a NEW house, not the old one in the past. She agreed to a basement willingly, knowing that a basement saved her family from attackers the last time. That's a sign that she understands what happened and that she wants to take a part when shit goes down by keeping them save while her husband doesn't have to worry about them.
When watching the credits you see a scene where the 2 that helped massacre the idiots in the machine shop have filled an RV with weapons to haul them to the new house. Christopher Lloyd looked right at home with the shotguns.
@@BigHalfSteps As far as her side of the family is concern, he was an auditor in the military. They just have no idea to what extend the kind if 'auditing' he was doing. She may have some more idea, but not the full scope.
Interesting thought though..... A wife who know's shit is about to hit the fan when hubby tells her to go some place safe, and DOES it, she got brains, she got guts, to deal with whats going on, and, she's...... Connie Nielsen.... Who wouldn't be that man?? lol...
Yep, this is John Wick without the crazy mythology. And this movie shows how you can still make great movies and not be "original" so long as it is executed well. Yes, the plot is kind of contrived, but Odenkirk just carries the movie.
Odenkirk carries the story, but the action-directing, pacing and general way it's shot makes it into a good movie on its own. The magic of this movie is that - yes the story has been done for many times before, and it has played out in a similar way as well, but you could still enjoy the movie even when you knew what's going to happen, because it's just shot in a way that you'd like to see how it's handled/done. The soundtrack was also really solid together with the action.
5:27 _"But somehow he manages to switch from mild-mannered family man to brutal killer in the blink of an eye, and make it seem like the most natural transition in the world."_ Guess Saul learned a thing or two from Gus huh?
The scene were hutch confronts his wife and she takes the kids is actually very well calculated. From the wife's perspective she just saw the carnage that hutch defended the family from and has to realize she can't help without being in the way. The only option then left for her is to protect her children and deal with hutch later when the coast is clear.
I think she knew he got into fights with people but probably took "You should see the other guys" as just bragging. The events in the movie were probably the first time she actually saw the carnage Hutch could cause first hand @@rogueceska
watched the movie after 1 min of this video and im coming back to say this movie has been such a breath of fresh air. there was no underlying tone of "modern audiences". it just felt like a classic movie that you watch and think about in a completely seperate bubble. fucking hell odenkirk is an amazing actor holy shit.
I did the same - watched the beginning of the review, then the movie, and then finished the review. The movie was great! Oh, and it worked just perfectly with pizza and beer...!
I love how every time you think "oh shit, is he gonna be able to handle all that?" his stoic facade cracks and he gets giddy at the idea of handling it. That, and the fact that the kitty cat bracelet was just under the couch in the basement. Dude didn't slaughter fucktons of people because of his daughter's bracelet, he just wanted to lol
No joke: Bob Odenkirk had the same trainer who worked with Keanu Reeves in John Wick. He trained like an absolute MADMAN to get in shape for this movie.
@@BrynjaHjartans People complained Odenkirk didn't fit the role, but they missed the reason why he was perfect for the role. His look was perfect and the analogy to go along with this is "don't wake a sleeping lion".
According to Bob Odenkirk on his Howard Stern interview, he wrote this movie himself after his own home was burgled. It got him thinking about his family’s safety and started him down the road to develop this film. He also trained for months to be physically fit enough to perform this role. We all identify with him in this film, because in our fantasies, we all think we would be this guy! Peter Griffin meets Rambo!
Trained for months to be physically fit for this movie - then goes and has a heart attack filming Better Call Saul. Man that training can really have the opposite effect to fitness sometimes.
Great point, I was thinking the same thing. When I had my car broken into some bum threw a cinderblock through my side window. I wasn't so mad about my watch and sunglasses being stolen as I was that the bastard got glass all over my kids car seats. That PISSED me off soooooo much more that what was stolen. I had to pick out glass shards for days afterwards. So I can kind of relate to the daughter's bracelet thing driving the "Nobody hero nuts". I still hope charma and bad luck find that person.
@@bartsullivan4866 Yeah, it takes a selfish, thoughtless, total asshole to do hundreds of dollars of damage to someone else's property for little gain. Who do they think they are?
I'm glad the wife listened to her husband when he told the family to hide because usually in movies they write the woman as combative as possible even in the face of a life and death situation. Which is just awful when you as the viewer can feel the stress of it all knowing that time is running out and you have that one character who wants to argue or ask questions in the middle of gun fire.
I'm also glad myself but deep down that wife knew and understand why as well she was there for his past life of course. Characters were written great tbh. The son was upset at the path his dad chose (during the break in) but the dad made a smart decision and we were shown that down the road.
The good thing is that the movie did gave hints that his wife knew parts of his previous life. She was somewhat shook when Hutch returned from the bus fight but she proceeded to stitch him up afterward without question.
For me the wife complying showed that his past was NOT a secret from her. She knew exactly whom she married, and maybe was unhappy about him becoming more simple FOR HER AND THE KIDS - and that just hits so close to home, most men go through that though on a different level (giving up biking, or playing football or whatever).
I'm a 50-something woman who is not a fan of action movies but i LOVED this film. The fight scenes were brutal yet somehow elegant. Even the musical score was woven into the action. I recommend it to everyone and have watched it numerous times. A well done, entertaining movie and that's a rarity these days.
The biggest difference between Nobody and John Wick is that John Wick is an almost mythological figure living in a fantastic world of secret societies and ancient traditions. I mean gold coins, codes for weapons and armor, hell they even call him Baba Yaga, the boogie man. Meanwhile, Nobody is based in a very realistic and grounded version of reality. this is reflected in the almost superhuman fight scenes in John Wick, using weapons and martial skill, versus the more brutal but realistic fights in Nobody where he uses whatever comes to hand in the most practical way possible.
I like that the makers of John Wick basicly had the skeleton of a “they pulled me back in” story and knew they could dress it up in stylish suits and secret societies or they could toss a plaid shirt on it with some mundane accounting and they just decided to make them both.
Saul has typecast Bob as the quintessential everyman. Honestly, it's great. He's great at it. And this movie proves that he can do that while being so much more.
The man has good taste! He's a legend of film, pop culture, meme culture, and a Raimi alumni. Who will remember the names of the other spidermen in years to come? He's the Christopher Reeve of Spiderman.
@@pauldiezel4584 Ive forgotten on several occasions that Andrew Garfield was spiderman, and I dont like Tom Holland as spiderman at all. He is a turd, that doesnt respect his fans.
Man, this really describes exactly how I felt about Nobody. Doesn't need to break new ground. No need to re-invent the wheel. It did good action, and did it very well. Just enjoyable all-around.
I love the comparison we see here between the fight on the bus in Nobody and the fight in Shang Chi because it highlights how poor most fight scenes are anymore, but how in Nobody you actually SEE the fighting instead of blurring. I hate that shakey csm and blurry fights are the norm now, especially in Marvel, but it looks like Nobody fixes this problem!
To me the biggest difference between the two main heroes (that is, Nobody vs John Wick), is that you get a sense that John Wick was someone who just wants to be left alone, whereas Hutch, the main character in Nobody, has seemingly been waiting about 20 years for someone to FINALLY give him a reason to initiate brutal violence again. I also think that hiring the Director of Hardcore Henry really helps too, as both movies are very creative with the way they execute gunplay and ass-beatings.
@@facelessandnameless His dad too. The way Christopher Lloyd went from sleepy old man to grabbing shotguns with a gleam in his eye and a spring in his step is great. What an actor.
No, no, we can't have that we need to educate everyone by cramming movies full of bullshit that has no bearing on the real world, neither its history, future, or vapid 'look at me' present so we an pat ourselves on the bak and pretend to be 'good people' Now excuse me while I look for a bucket to throw up in
Good directors and creative directors with lots of ideas tend to go hand in hand. The former without the latter is a rare sight. Probs cus it's not as memorable as a weird movie or artistic movie.
This movie was AWESOME! I have all the John Wick films and although this was quite comparable, it still stands solid on it's own and after renting it for like $1.50 I went right out and bought it and have watched it like 3 times now, sharing it with any visitors that feel like watching an action film. It will go down likely as one of my favorite films of this style of all time. Bob sells the character 100%.
"Nobody" is one of the all-time greats in the action genre of films. There is nothing controversial about it. No gratuitous sex, blood and guts, or women and people in general being put down. It is action movies being boiled down to what makes them great, guns and revenge with good acting and special effects where the story is told properly. Definitely a buyer.
the analogy of Nobody being a burger with a cold beer of a movie is just so spot on. Bob Odenkirk was perfectly cast for this role. Hope to see more of him in the action genre.
This isn't my normal thing, but I watched it on this rec. And I have to say, it made me happy just on how well made it was. Such as the creative use of edits to show Hutch's boring routine, or the rather beautiful way in which the destruction of the Russian boss's place was filmed. I also enjoyed the dad and brother pitching in. And yes, it was nice to see the wife being sensible - that did a lot in helping to show that they do have a loving and trusting relationship.
Perfect review for one of the best movies of recent years. It's exactly because it's not pretentious and doesn't try to be different or modern or whatever. It's just a basic action flick done right. I loved every minute of it.
The high rating is a big bacon cheeseburger with two full beers. Lower ratings are half a burger with one beer. The Lowest rating is a salad with a water next to it xD just completely unfulfilling
A tired dad losing his shit and going ape is a concept that needs more adaptations: edit: Bob Odenkirk's body transformation for this role is worth looking into
My favourite part about the Hutch taking real damage throughout the movie is that starting with the fight on the bus you can tell he's in it to win it but he's also a little sluggish. Then as the movie progresses you can see him having less and less difficulty.
This movie reminded me a lot of Shoot 'Em Up, another unapologetically straightforward action movie with Clive Owen - I loved that movie since it came out, as it didn't pretend to be anything that it wasn't, and Nobody kept up that tradition. Bonus points for having Bob Odenkirk.
I finished watching Nobody and thought, "Huh that was interesting. I really enjoyed it. I wonder what everyone else thought about it." And then I saw some real low review scores and people upset about it being a generic action movie. I feel like a lot of people didn't get what it was trying to do.
Please, those same people would clap and honk like the seals they are when the next mindless Marvel or DC movie comes out. Fuck the critics, enjoy a fun movie that you want! Movie critics have been losing credibility for a better part of a decade if not more.
I think movies have now become so bad that people can´t tell whether a movie is serious or a piss-take anymore. When you look at other action films that do take themselves seriously, there is very little difference, so it´s no wonder that people thought it was serious.
I find it interesting that Russians are now viewed as acceptable proxies for wholesale slaughter. Poor Nazi's and zombies are not getting the attention they used to.
I just love the satirical take of this movie towards movies cliche plot points. Its almost a parody movie but its still being played completely straight, from yelling "Really? The bracelet is the inciting incedent?" to just laughing my ass off during the bus fight scene.
I thought that was a fairly clever way to put that exposition in. He's tired after the various fights anyway and they're dying, so it's almost like he's telling them a bedtime story and he knows they're not going to share it with anyone.
Those were all excellent character moments, and very well acted too. Especially as they gave Hutch an outlet to be honest in his self-criticism for being "a jealous man", and then poking fun at himself for "overcorrecting a bit" in his desire for normality, only to top it all off by saying that he "loved every second of it". That kind of genuine emotion in a character, where the audience can buy in 100% to their wants and motivations, is very rare...and very rewarding.
John Wick: "They killed my dog." DOOM Slayer: "They killed my rabbit." Hutch: "They stole my kid's kitty cat bracelet." In short: don't mess with the floofs.
Normal movies : dangerous psychotic criminals threaten a normal family man, who then needs to go on a journey to toughen up, in order to save the day. Nobody : dangerous psychotic assassin needs to overcome his urges, so that he can be a normal family man. Then some dudes appear , and they give our hero the opportunity to be himself and do what he enjoys doing : FUCK SOME MOTHERFUCKERS UP !
Just finished this movie. Cinematography, direction and choreography was great. Writing, acting and story was great. Just an all around quality action/revenge film. Little moments like how his son takes down one of the robbers and how he covers his daughter's eyes as they leave the basement are fantastic.
"Based on an idea by Bob Odenkirk, who dealt with a home invasion himself by trapping the trespassers in the basement. He was frustrated with how the authorities dealt with the situation and had thought about how he would take the matter into his own hands if he "was a badass."" - IMDB Wow.. mega cheers Odenkirk.
Almost no/no Red cities in America, at least of any serious size. Blue states tend to be those with a larger urban then rural population? Red states tend to be those with a larger rural then urban population? I was curious and I found this quote : "I had two home break-ins in Los Angeles. One was particularly traumatic. Just a typical dad scenario. What do you do? I grabbed the baseball bat; in the movie, I grab a golf club. I think I did the right thing, as I told myself, and I told the police a thousand times since then. But it doesn't feel like I did the right thing. 'Nobody' is very related to my actual experience of having someone in the house, threatening my family, trying to keep the damage to a minimum." - Odenkirk
I think the best scene ever in that movie (and probably in the whole genre), is the scene at the tattoo parlor. Where the old guy recognizes "Nobody's" wrist tattoo and utters "thanks for your service" and locks himself behind a metal door. There are barely any words spoken, the action and demeanor of the protagonists change _completely_ within 20 seconds, an entire substory is told with barely any words, and that slightly high pitched "may I help you ?" at the end is pure gold. I can watch that scene over and over, it is absolute pure genius.
Yeah me too. I think the reason why that scene is so brilliant is because it follows a very core concept of movie making: 'Show - Don't Tell'. We get all the information we need in order to understand how the power dynamics in that room shifted with just been shown the weight behind a simple tattoo and the change in status between the two veterans.
I absolutely loved this movie! No pretense, convoluted storyline, or overloaded with cgi. It relied on good writing, directing and acting to carry it and to me , those are the best movies. Sadly, we do not get too many of these any longer. I am not a fan of too many sequels but this one I would definitely see. So go ahead and take my money now!
"Sometimes, it really is ok to just sit back with a burger and a beer" This man just summarised a beautiful, dying philosophy in just one sentence. Hats off you to you, you absolute chad :') EDIT: HOLY BALLS, 1.8K LIKES!? Thank you guys so much!!!!
@@nameunavailable1330 Yes, we all did. But to be honest, after the nature of the movie, that last laugh was kinda needed... but the scene was entirely unnecessary.
0:20 The “burger and a beer” analogy also suits my favorite movie - Pompeii. You can probably guess how Pompeii ends, but Kit Harington’s character is a gladiator who pursues two goals: a) avenge the murders of his parents by a Roman senator and b) rescue (both from said senator *and* from a fucking volcano) the young, beautiful totally-not-Roman governor’s daughter with whom he’s fallen in love. Maybe give *this* one a try, Drinker?
Personally, I love the fact that the main conflict of the movie actually had nothing to do with the inciting event. The people Hutch goes to war against aren't the ones that broke into his house, they didn't wrong him in some way, it was literally just a case of wrong place wrong time. Hutch was feeling like a failure, like he had no place to go in life, like he was losing his family, and loe and behold in steps the assholes. The perfect excuse to let off some steam. The best part..... you can see the moment, just as Hutch is about to walk away, where he realizes just how stupid what he is about to do is but just says FUCK IT anyway. It is just such a human and relatable moment. Who hasn't knowingly made a stupid choice at a weak moment of their life just for that instant of gratification, even while knowing how much they will regret it later?
Exactly the idea the director had. Not another revenge/vigilante story, but a guy who is terribly bored in retirement and looking for some violence just for fun.
You see something similar in the Equalizer when he starts opening and closing the door (again russian mob) before deciding to take them out. You also get the sense of detachment he has as he explains you are going to die here on the floor for no real reason, because you thought you were in control and didn't take my offer.
Wick: A skilled assasin, trained to be one of the best. Able to call in old favors from everyone he ever knew. vs Hutch: Never stab a man who's got nothing left to loose, because all you've done, is give him a weapon.
@@Reddotzebra Imagine them teaming up to fuck you up. Think God himself would forgive you if you committed suicide in that case and brought your ass to the pearly gates just to save it from those two badasses.
This movie genuinely taught me something: if you're in a very dire situation and don't have a weapon available, ANYTHING can be turned into a weapon. The amount of creativity involving what Odenkirk's character uses as a weapon in any given moment is off the charts!
"Every new movie doesn't need to reinvent the wheel and produce some revolutionary new viewing experience." (Slams desk) *_Thank you!_* This is also my opinion on video games.
Unfortunately, as someone from the Pokemon fandom I can sadly say that my fanbase is being whiny manchildren (or womanchildren). They keep on wanting the games to go from 3D to full-open world.
@@MariOmor1 That's kinda the natural evolution of pokemon tho since it went 3D. Not that I want it to be open world personally, I was cool with sprites tbh. But the OG comment is 100% how I've felt about Pokemon for a while. As an aside, from what I've read the Pokemon fandom complained basically every time there was a new game.
@@MariOmor1 Damn really? That sucks, I stay away from the "community" of things I like and I'm glad I do cause I went down a rabbit hole with the pokemon fandom and it was pretty tismic.
John Wick is exactly like a nice fancy dinner, while Nobody is a McDonald's happy meal. That's what I love it, it doesn't take itself seriously, it's just here for the dumb greasy filled fun that actually tastes good which only comes out of 1/5 McDonald's.
The fight scene on the bus was absolutely outstanding. That alone would make me love the movie, but the rest was great as well. Odenkirk was fantastic in this.
@@meghanworkman6449 Really shows he's a versatile actor. He can be a comedian on Mr.Show and one scene in The Office (He used to be the first choice of Michael Scott but Steve Carell took over) than be a serious drama actor in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul than be an action movie star in Nobody
my thoughts were that he just started each fight in the film and got a bunch of people hurt needlessly and in the end when he asks about the basement he suggests he will do it again when he promised his wife he wouldn’t do it and also his dad seemed to really enjoy killing for some reason but that’s just me
My GF calls these types of films 'Mindless Action' and we love them for when we just want to put something on that we don't really need to put much thought into and enjoy the ride.
It honestly doesnt seem very 80s to me... it's more like film noire with an action twist and a subversive ending (for that genre). 80s action heroes rarely got beat up unless it was a dramatic injury at the climax.
Oh my God I was in Edinburgh on Sat in front of a NOBODY poster wondering if: a) it was any good? b) has the drinker reviewed it? Watched it yesterday, strapped myself in right now for the review!
Just found your channel, my wife linked me a video of yours... its so refreshing to hear people with normal common sense. I watched all your videos and finished watching this after watching Nobody, and it was worth it. Keep it up and stay true to yourself!
I think thats what a lot of people forget when they make a movie. You dont need to reinvent the wheel, sometimes all you need is a simple, down to earth script with a well made action choreography and a good punch line. Burger and beer, perfect analogy!
I don't know if they are capable of writing romance/sexuality which is an integral part of bond that's been abandoned in recent years due to jleft feminism in media. Action is fantastic but the the subtlety of bond I feel like would be lost on them and we'd just wind up with John wick working at MI6.
@@jospi2 There seems to be this tendency these days that many actors make a name for themselves in this genre in the later part (though it depends on what you personally call "later part", I mean 40 onwards) of their lives. Personally I prefer Odenkirk simply because he wasn't really known to me at all. I'd seen Neeson plenty of times long before he made a career with movies like Taken so I already knew what he was capable of as an actor. That doesn't take away from his capabilities, Liam is terrific at what he does. On the other hand, I think it was Nobody where I saw Odenkirk for the first time and he gave me a great first impression. If that makes sense
It's becoming increasingly rare to see a movie that doesn't have a hint of "the message" written all over it. So, while it's a relief to finally get one, it's also sad that we have to celebrate a story done hundreds, if not thousands, of times over at this point.
But there was a hint of a message: a bunch of 'white men' being thugs on a late night bus ride? Even though they're 'Russian Gangsters', the go to bad guys of the last quarter century. It's like on a short lived series (the Exorcist TV series) I enjoyed where people on the Chicago subway train are harassed by a bunch of preppy college jocks, until the run into the girl who's got the demon inside her...needless to say, preppy jocks are pretty much the very last thing you'll find on a late night ride on the Chicago light rail.
@@jasonholt1853 Indeed! Having been on BART late at night in the SF Bay Area, I assure you the demographic is quite different, though I don't know what city 'Nobody' is supposed to be based in.
@@nickmitsialis Don't forget the poor impoverished immigrant family who had to resort to crime 'cuz they poor ): and a couple of other such subtle crap.
@@nickmitsialis But it's not "the message" that is at fault, there is nothing wrong with it. What's wrong is that people don't propogate it to do something meaningful but show just how woke they are. They preach and call themselves great for preaching but do none of what they say and they will suck the joy out of everything to preach it and when you tell them to slow down and relax, they will call you a bigot and continue to shove it down your throat. That was NOT the case in this movie
Yes! The "John Wick" comparison is pretty obvious. But i recently watched the Denzel Washington "Equalizer " and saw so many direct parallels. Anyway, all are fun, mindless entertainment that are well executed.
I was also thinking of The Equalizer" "Death Wish" is another good movie that comes to mind as well as the 1st "Taken" movie. My personal favorite is "The History of Violence" but I enjoy all these films :).
100% on that. I felt that same way. Like I said, if John Wick is action informed by Asian Cinema, this film is action informed by the everyday akin to the three you have mentioned.
"Sometimes it's okay to just sit back and relax with a burger and a beer" Dude this resonates so much with me that it's insane. It's getting *REALLY* fuckin' grating with everything trying to be the next biggest, baddest most epic thing. I've always thought that you don't need to be big and complex, you're often better off being simple but focused than complex but aimless, which is what a ton of movies and most mainstream games feel like, that they're complex and aimless, in a constant state of identity crisis where not even the creators know what the hell they're doing Good on ya man, thanks for the shortened metaphor.
agreed people have forgotten why movies were made,they were made to distract yourself from the deep stress and struggle of normal life,rent,bills,work etc but now all were getting us "deep" lore heavy movies Wich you can't have fun with unless you watch 50 more movies and 3 tv shows to get not saying those are bad but just because those exist it doesn't make normal " generic fun movies bad because they aren't lore heavy
The same reason why people are starting to feel exhausted with Marvel movies. Because the enemy has to be this all-knowing, powerful, being that pretty much got defeated at the end of the movie. Which is not a bad thing, but doing it 3 times in a row is making you tired.
This movie is great. No over bloated story and plenty of ass kicking. This is how a really entertaining action film is done. Sometimes you don't really need much more than "good guy brings the pain getting back daughter's kitty cat bracelet".

Her "Why?"
When she helped him glue up his stab wound, it was clear that Hutch’s wife knew his full background. That was reinforced at the end when she also wanted a house with a basement.
Not necessarily. I think she didn't know his FULL background, just that he probably worked for a special sector or as a special agent. I don't even think anyone is allowed to know that, family or not - and seeing how he cared for his family, I don't think he would risk it by giving it away. After all the government doesn't erase your entire history just so you can tell it others...
And the basement part: I'm pretty sure it's a NEW house, not the old one in the past. She agreed to a basement willingly, knowing that a basement saved her family from attackers the last time. That's a sign that she understands what happened and that she wants to take a part when shit goes down by keeping them save while her husband doesn't have to worry about them.
When watching the credits you see a scene where the 2 that helped massacre the idiots in the machine shop have filled an RV with weapons to haul them to the new house. Christopher Lloyd looked right at home with the shotguns.
@@BigHalfSteps As far as her side of the family is concern, he was an auditor in the military. They just have no idea to what extend the kind if 'auditing' he was doing. She may have some more idea, but not the full scope.
Interesting thought though..... A wife who know's shit is about to hit the fan when hubby tells her to go some place safe, and DOES it, she got brains, she got guts, to deal with whats going on, and, she's...... Connie Nielsen.... Who wouldn't be that man?? lol...
They probably met on a mission and hit it off..then waited until they were both "retired" to get married...
Yep, this is John Wick without the crazy mythology. And this movie shows how you can still make great movies and not be "original" so long as it is executed well. Yes, the plot is kind of contrived, but Odenkirk just carries the movie.
Odenkirk carries the story, but the action-directing, pacing and general way it's shot makes it into a good movie on its own. The magic of this movie is that - yes the story has been done for many times before, and it has played out in a similar way as well, but you could still enjoy the movie even when you knew what's going to happen, because it's just shot in a way that you'd like to see how it's handled/done.
The soundtrack was also really solid together with the action.
The original John Wick was very light on the mythology, the sequels are what got so bogged down in it.
romeo and juliet is as unoriginal as a story can be, yet it considered one of the all time classic just for the near perfect execution.

The scene were hutch confronts his wife and she takes the kids is actually very well calculated. From the wife's perspective she just saw the carnage that hutch defended the family from and has to realize she can't help without being in the way. The only option then left for her is to protect her children and deal with hutch later when the coast is clear.
When she is stitching him up, he says just like old time eh, so I think she kinda knows his past and has lived through it with him.
@@rogueceska This. I think the same.
By “deal with” do you mean ride him like he is a bike on an old town road? Because she knew him before he became lame.

According to Bob Odenkirk on his Howard Stern interview, he wrote this movie himself after his own home was burgled. It got him thinking about his family’s safety and started him down the road to develop this film. He also trained for months to be physically fit enough to perform this role. We all identify with him in this film, because in our fantasies, we all think we would be this guy! Peter Griffin meets Rambo!
wow. if thats true, then this movie is a must watch for me!
Trained for months to be physically fit for this movie - then goes and has a heart attack filming Better Call Saul. Man that training can really have the opposite effect to fitness sometimes.
@4Freedom4All see my other comment
Great point, I was thinking the same thing. When I had my car broken into some bum threw a cinderblock through my side window. I wasn't so mad about my watch and sunglasses being stolen as I was that the bastard got glass all over my kids car seats. That PISSED me off soooooo much more that what was stolen. I had to pick out glass shards for days afterwards. So I can kind of relate to the daughter's bracelet thing driving the "Nobody hero nuts". I still hope charma and bad luck find that person.
@@bartsullivan4866 Yeah, it takes a selfish, thoughtless, total asshole to do hundreds of dollars of damage to someone else's property for little gain. Who do they think they are?
I'm glad the wife listened to her husband when he told the family to hide because usually in movies they write the woman as combative as possible even in the face of a life and death situation. Which is just awful when you as the viewer can feel the stress of it all knowing that time is running out and you have that one character who wants to argue or ask questions in the middle of gun fire.
I'm also glad myself but deep down that wife knew and understand why as well she was there for his past life of course. Characters were written great tbh. The son was upset at the path his dad chose (during the break in) but the dad made a smart decision and we were shown that down the road.
The good thing is that the movie did gave hints that his wife knew parts of his previous life.
She was somewhat shook when Hutch returned from the bus fight but she proceeded to stitch him up afterward without question.
For me the wife complying showed that his past was NOT a secret from her. She knew exactly whom she married, and maybe was unhappy about him becoming more simple FOR HER AND THE KIDS - and that just hits so close to home, most men go through that though on a different level (giving up biking, or playing football or whatever).
Ya but he just killed a dozen men in her house. Might want to listen to a guy like that.
I'm a 50-something woman who is not a fan of action movies but i LOVED this film. The fight scenes were brutal yet somehow elegant. Even the musical score was woven into the action. I recommend it to everyone and have watched it numerous times. A well done, entertaining movie and that's a rarity these days.

Well said
The biggest difference between Nobody and John Wick is that John Wick is an almost mythological figure living in a fantastic world of secret societies and ancient traditions. I mean gold coins, codes for weapons and armor, hell they even call him Baba Yaga, the boogie man. Meanwhile, Nobody is based in a very realistic and grounded version of reality. this is reflected in the almost superhuman fight scenes in John Wick, using weapons and martial skill, versus the more brutal but realistic fights in Nobody where he uses whatever comes to hand in the most practical way possible.
I like that the makers of John Wick basicly had the skeleton of a “they pulled me back in” story and knew they could dress it up in stylish suits and secret societies or they could toss a plaid shirt on it with some mundane accounting and they just decided to make them both.
The casting of Bob Odenkirk, after getting used to him as Saul Goodman for the last ten years, is THE thing that makes this movie great.
It really was an Inspired casting.
You don't get casting. We getcha.
Wut I thought it was that guy from mad men
Saul has typecast Bob as the quintessential everyman. Honestly, it's great. He's great at it. And this movie proves that he can do that while being so much more.
Bit like the decision to cast Bruce Willis in Die Hard
Fun fact: Tobey "Spider-Man" Maguire was one of the executive producers of this movie
perhaps that explains why hutch put so much dirt in their eyes
The man has good taste! He's a legend of film, pop culture, meme culture, and a Raimi alumni. Who will remember the names of the other spidermen in years to come? He's the Christopher Reeve of Spiderman.

Man, this really describes exactly how I felt about Nobody. Doesn't need to break new ground. No need to re-invent the wheel. It did good action, and did it very well. Just enjoyable all-around.
I love the comparison we see here between the fight on the bus in Nobody and the fight in Shang Chi because it highlights how poor most fight scenes are anymore, but how in Nobody you actually SEE the fighting instead of blurring. I hate that shakey csm and blurry fights are the norm now, especially in Marvel, but it looks like Nobody fixes this problem!

2) Furry blights

@@Dowlphin you
To me the biggest difference between the two main heroes (that is, Nobody vs John Wick), is that you get a sense that John Wick was someone who just wants to be left alone, whereas Hutch, the main character in Nobody, has seemingly been waiting about 20 years for someone to FINALLY give him a reason to initiate brutal violence again. I also think that hiring the Director of Hardcore Henry really helps too, as both movies are very creative with the way they execute gunplay and ass-beatings.
I totally agree! John Wick reluctantly came back, Hutch was thrilled and delighted to have some fun again 😂
@@facelessandnameless His dad too. The way Christopher Lloyd went from sleepy old man to grabbing shotguns with a gleam in his eye and a spring in his step is great. What an actor.

@@Kyle-sr6jm 'Those that miss it'... _is_ kind of being fucked up.
It's almost as if all that people want from movies is a short escape from reality and to be entertained.

No, no, we can't have that
we need to educate everyone by cramming movies full of bullshit that has no bearing on the real world, neither its history, future, or vapid 'look at me' present
so we an pat ourselves on the bak and pretend to be 'good people'
Now excuse me while I look for a bucket to throw up in
Yet with a good touch of realism to give the movie credibility. The perfect mix.
Good directors and creative directors with lots of ideas tend to go hand in hand. The former without the latter is a rare sight. Probs cus it's not as memorable as a weird movie or artistic movie.
@@toastyshrimp1882 r/wooooosh
This movie was AWESOME! I have all the John Wick films and although this was quite comparable, it still stands solid on it's own and after renting it for like $1.50 I went right out and bought it and have watched it like 3 times now, sharing it with any visitors that feel like watching an action film. It will go down likely as one of my favorite films of this style of all time. Bob sells the character 100%.
"Nobody" is one of the all-time greats in the action genre of films. There is nothing controversial about it. No gratuitous sex, blood and guts, or women and people in general being put down. It is action movies being boiled down to what makes them great, guns and revenge with good acting and special effects where the story is told properly. Definitely a buyer.
This is one of the only movies to come out in recent years that was able to simply make me smile. No complex plots or major twists, just a good time.
The car theft scene had me yelling "Hell Yeah!" (trying not to spoil too much)
well and suicide squad
Take note, Hollywood. We need more entertainment and less of your woke, agenda-driven garbage.

@@harrymills2770 They do look the same...
call me an idiot, I didn't realized that hes the same guy, Saul, until I watched a review. He's a really good actor, I must say.
This isn't my normal thing, but I watched it on this rec. And I have to say, it made me happy just on how well made it was. Such as the creative use of edits to show Hutch's boring routine, or the rather beautiful way in which the destruction of the Russian boss's place was filmed. I also enjoyed the dad and brother pitching in. And yes, it was nice to see the wife being sensible - that did a lot in helping to show that they do have a loving and trusting relationship.
Perfect review for one of the best movies of recent years. It's exactly because it's not pretentious and doesn't try to be different or modern or whatever. It's just a basic action flick done right. I loved every minute of it.

My favourite part about the Hutch taking real damage throughout the movie is that starting with the fight on the bus you can tell he's in it to win it but he's also a little sluggish. Then as the movie progresses you can see him having less and less difficulty.

Loved it throughout.
This movie reminded me a lot of Shoot 'Em Up, another unapologetically straightforward action movie with Clive Owen - I loved that movie since it came out, as it didn't pretend to be anything that it wasn't, and Nobody kept up that tradition. Bonus points for having Bob Odenkirk.
I finished watching Nobody and thought, "Huh that was interesting. I really enjoyed it. I wonder what everyone else thought about it." And then I saw some real low review scores and people upset about it being a generic action movie. I feel like a lot of people didn't get what it was trying to do.
Please, those same people would clap and honk like the seals they are when the next mindless Marvel or DC movie comes out. Fuck the critics, enjoy a fun movie that you want! Movie critics have been losing credibility for a better part of a decade if not more.
yeah i think that a movie like this is very refreshing in an inudstry that takes itself too seriously
I think movies have now become so bad that people can´t tell whether a movie is serious or a piss-take anymore. When you look at other action films that do take themselves seriously, there is very little difference, so it´s no wonder that people thought it was serious.

I just love the satirical take of this movie towards movies cliche plot points. Its almost a parody movie but its still being played completely straight, from yelling "Really? The bracelet is the inciting incedent?" to just laughing my ass off during the bus fight scene.
My favorite parts were whenever Hutch tries to tell his back story to a dying bad guy only for them to pass on before he can finish saying anything.
I thought that was a fairly clever way to put that exposition in. He's tired after the various fights anyway and they're dying, so it's almost like he's telling them a bedtime story and he knows they're not going to share it with anyone.
@@HerculesBallsInc I do love his frustration/annoyance though, when they die before he gets to what he really wants to say.
He just needs a sharpie to draw all over their face in a rage.
The part with the 2 dead guys and the dying guy on the sofa in his listening room was brilliant.
Those were all excellent character moments, and very well acted too. Especially as they gave Hutch an outlet to be honest in his self-criticism for being "a jealous man", and then poking fun at himself for "overcorrecting a bit" in his desire for normality, only to top it all off by saying that he "loved every second of it". That kind of genuine emotion in a character, where the audience can buy in 100% to their wants and motivations, is very rare...and very rewarding.

DOOM Slayer: "They killed my rabbit."
Hutch: "They stole my kid's kitty cat bracelet."
In short: don't mess with the floofs.

I really liked how light hearted it was. No family member dying, no dog strangled, no deep ethical dilemma. A burger and a beer indeed.
Just finished this movie. Cinematography, direction and choreography was great. Writing, acting and story was great. Just an all around quality action/revenge film. Little moments like how his son takes down one of the robbers and how he covers his daughter's eyes as they leave the basement are fantastic.

Wow.. mega cheers Odenkirk.
Im guessing this occurred in a Blue State or a Blue City?
While searching for something like the above quote I found out Odenkirk was also robbed at gun point in Chicago.
Almost no/no Red cities in America, at least of any serious size.
Blue states tend to be those with a larger urban then rural population? Red states tend to be those with a larger rural then urban population?
I was curious and I found this quote :
"I had two home break-ins in Los Angeles. One was particularly traumatic. Just a typical dad scenario. What do you do? I grabbed the baseball bat; in the movie, I grab a golf club. I think I did the right thing, as I told myself, and I told the police a thousand times since then. But it doesn't feel like I did the right thing. 'Nobody' is very related to my actual experience of having someone in the house, threatening my family, trying to keep the damage to a minimum."
- Odenkirk
Wondering if he wished he had actual friends in the drug cartel
Note to self, _don't fuck with Odenkirk holy shit._
Absolute CHAD.
I think the best scene ever in that movie (and probably in the whole genre), is the scene at the tattoo parlor.
Where the old guy recognizes "Nobody's" wrist tattoo and utters "thanks for your service" and locks himself behind a metal door. There are barely any words spoken, the action and demeanor of the protagonists change _completely_ within 20 seconds, an entire substory is told with barely any words, and that slightly high pitched "may I help you ?" at the end is pure gold. I can watch that scene over and over, it is absolute pure genius.
What do you think the tattoos the robbers had are
Yeah me too. I think the reason why that scene is so brilliant is because it follows a very core concept of movie making: 'Show - Don't Tell'. We get all the information we need in order to understand how the power dynamics in that room shifted with just been shown the weight behind a simple tattoo and the change in status between the two veterans.

The “burger and a beer” analogy also suits my favorite movie - Pompeii.
You can probably guess how Pompeii ends, but Kit Harington’s character is a gladiator who pursues two goals: a) avenge the murders of his parents by a Roman senator and b) rescue (both from said senator *and* from a fucking volcano) the young, beautiful totally-not-Roman governor’s daughter with whom he’s fallen in love.
Maybe give *this* one a try, Drinker?
Personally, I love the fact that the main conflict of the movie actually had nothing to do with the inciting event. The people Hutch goes to war against aren't the ones that broke into his house, they didn't wrong him in some way, it was literally just a case of wrong place wrong time. Hutch was feeling like a failure, like he had no place to go in life, like he was losing his family, and loe and behold in steps the assholes. The perfect excuse to let off some steam. The best part..... you can see the moment, just as Hutch is about to walk away, where he realizes just how stupid what he is about to do is but just says FUCK IT anyway. It is just such a human and relatable moment. Who hasn't knowingly made a stupid choice at a weak moment of their life just for that instant of gratification, even while knowing how much they will regret it later?
Exactly the idea the director had. Not another revenge/vigilante story, but a guy who is terribly bored in retirement and looking for some violence just for fun.
You see something similar in the Equalizer when he starts opening and closing the door (again russian mob) before deciding to take them out. You also get the sense of detachment he has as he explains you are going to die here on the floor for no real reason, because you thought you were in control and didn't take my offer.

Damn it, I am late for this joke
You did the right thing.
If it's overdone then I'm out of the loop cause this is the first I've heard it. And I approve.
This is one of those comfort films that I can watch whenever I need distraction, entertainment, and zero thought. Odenkirk is a revelation in this.
John Wick is exactly like a nice fancy dinner, while Nobody is a McDonald's happy meal. That's what I love it, it doesn't take itself seriously, it's just here for the dumb greasy filled fun that actually tastes good which only comes out of 1/5 McDonald's.
"I'm gonna fuck you up!" Best line ever.
Like a boss!
"I'm gonna FUck you up!" There is a slight up on the beginning of fuck, then he just says it. Works great!
I love the incongruity of "Give me the goddamn kitty cat bracelet, motherfucker!"
@@HerculesBallsInc yeah that's the second best.

One of the few times Drinker says "nah it'll be fine" without contempt in him voice.
I thought the same thing as he said it. 😂 Loved this movie and have been waiting for The Drinkers review.👍 🐊
That moment alone makes this review special.
The fact that people actually get hurt is what makes this better that most action movies
3:40 "i think that nobody is perfect example of this."
Me: **forgets what i am watching**
The fight scene on the bus was absolutely outstanding. That alone would make me love the movie, but the rest was great as well. Odenkirk was fantastic in this.
He really was. He's such a great actor.
@@meghanworkman6449 Really shows he's a versatile actor. He can be a comedian on Mr.Show and one scene in The Office (He used to be the first choice of Michael Scott but Steve Carell took over) than be a serious drama actor in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul than be an action movie star in Nobody
my thoughts were that he just started each fight in the film and got a bunch of people hurt needlessly and in the end when he asks about the basement he suggests he will do it again when he promised his wife he wouldn’t do it and also his dad seemed to really enjoy killing for some reason but that’s just me
I could not take this movie seriously because everytime Hutch was on screen i just saw Saul Goodman.
bravo vince
“I’m willing to bet, that he Knows a guy that knows a guy.”
That knows another guy. (Mike, Victor, Gus).
He has a certain set of skills
Who knows the number of Liam Neeson.And the expandables
The comparison of the bus scene and you getting kicked out of a club was top notch humour.
I loved this review the second you said "Connie Nielsen" and had that gorgeous pic. You are my people.
This film had the elements of an 80s action flick: simple, effective, to the point, and FUN
Don't know if fun is the right word. Guy murders a bunch of people throughout, entertaining. Although, that seems just as bad of a thing to say
@@HC-kn2sq when the killing is unrealistic and crushing, you might have a really good time
@@HC-kn2sq You can't spell Slaughter without LAUGHTER!
The director of Nobody also did the underrated insane action masterpiece Hardcore Henry.
And lots of gread music videos, too.
Fucking awesome!!!!
"criminally underrated", I'd say.
wait ? really ?
no way dude! also i saw Hardcore Henry and i goddamn loved it !
I went into Hardcore Henry expecting a piece of trash to make fun of - instead I got thoroughly entertained!
3:14 'bonk' never gets old
From Saul... to this character..... Absolutely glorious! This movie gave me Die Hard vibes, and I do not mean that in bad way.

The warehouse carnage was spectacular. All the boobytraps, hidden weapons and pure volley of fire they sent towards the Russians, WOW!
It's like a typical 80's action movie pared back and without all the typical Hollywood baggage to slow it down.
An action movie with a strong male protagonist and no woke bullshit?
How could anyone have predicted that this would be a winning formula?
@@carljohan9265 Movies are meant to be placed in front of you for your consideration, not rammed down your throat. Oddly that doesn't work.
If only the final 20mins didn't feel like a separate movie became so cheesy and over the top because the rest of it was great
It honestly doesnt seem very 80s to me... it's more like film noire with an action twist and a subversive ending (for that genre). 80s action heroes rarely got beat up unless it was a dramatic injury at the climax.
@@trequor it's about the spirit

Just found your channel, my wife linked me a video of yours... its so refreshing to hear people with normal common sense.
I watched all your videos and finished watching this after watching Nobody, and it was worth it.
Keep it up and stay true to yourself!
I think thats what a lot of people forget when they make a movie. You dont need to reinvent the wheel, sometimes all you need is a simple, down to earth script with a well made action choreography and a good punch line. Burger and beer, perfect analogy!
Imagine a James Bond film Written by these guys it would probably be amazing
I don't know if they are capable of writing romance/sexuality which is an integral part of bond that's been abandoned in recent years due to jleft feminism in media. Action is fantastic but the the subtlety of bond I feel like would be lost on them and we'd just wind up with John wick working at MI6.

My favorite part was when Hutch said to guys on the bus "Better call Saul!"

Bob Odenkirk has to be one of the best surprise action heroes ever
What about Liam Neeson? Although he's a taller and more menacing guy, who would have thought about a 60+ year old guy kicking ass.
@@jospi2 There seems to be this tendency these days that many actors make a name for themselves in this genre in the later part (though it depends on what you personally call "later part", I mean 40 onwards) of their lives. Personally I prefer Odenkirk simply because he wasn't really known to me at all. I'd seen Neeson plenty of times long before he made a career with movies like Taken so I already knew what he was capable of as an actor. That doesn't take away from his capabilities, Liam is terrific at what he does. On the other hand, I think it was Nobody where I saw Odenkirk for the first time and he gave me a great first impression. If that makes sense
It's becoming increasingly rare to see a movie that doesn't have a hint of "the message" written all over it. So, while it's a relief to finally get one, it's also sad that we have to celebrate a story done hundreds, if not thousands, of times over at this point.
But there was a hint of a message: a bunch of 'white men' being thugs on a late night bus ride? Even though they're 'Russian Gangsters', the go to bad guys of the last quarter century. It's like on a short lived series (the Exorcist TV series) I enjoyed where people on the Chicago subway train are harassed by a bunch of preppy college jocks, until the run into the girl who's got the demon inside her...needless to say, preppy jocks are pretty much the very last thing you'll find on a late night ride on the Chicago light rail.
@@jasonholt1853 Indeed! Having been on BART late at night in the SF Bay Area, I assure you the demographic is quite different, though I don't know what city 'Nobody' is supposed to be based in.
@@nickmitsialis Don't forget the poor impoverished immigrant family who had to resort to crime 'cuz they poor ): and a couple of other such subtle crap.
@@nickmitsialis But it's not "the message" that is at fault, there is nothing wrong with it.
What's wrong is that people don't propogate it to do something meaningful but show just how woke they are. They preach and call themselves great for preaching but do none of what they say and they will suck the joy out of everything to preach it and when you tell them to slow down and relax, they will call you a bigot and continue to shove it down your throat.
That was NOT the case in this movie
@@xandemar1388 Damn, I totally forgot to mention that.
I love that Micheal Ironside plays his boss and father in law
Brother, you have absolutely nailed it with this one. Definitely one of my favorite movies to enjoy!
The scenes look like "Falling Down", "The Equalizer" and "Death Wish" all mashed together! Brilliant!
Yes! The "John Wick" comparison is pretty obvious. But i recently watched the Denzel Washington "Equalizer " and saw so many direct parallels. Anyway, all are fun, mindless entertainment that are well executed.
Yeah, and a bit of Dark Knight for flavoring.
@@hubertflores9741 I was actually referring to the Edward Woodward 1980s TV version...but it's all good...
I was also thinking of The Equalizer" "Death Wish" is another good movie that comes to mind as well as the 1st "Taken" movie. My personal favorite is "The History of Violence" but I enjoy all these films :).
100% on that. I felt that same way. Like I said, if John Wick is action informed by Asian Cinema, this film is action informed by the everyday akin to the three you have mentioned.
"Sometimes it's okay to just sit back and relax with a burger and a beer"
Dude this resonates so much with me that it's insane. It's getting *REALLY* fuckin' grating with everything trying to be the next biggest, baddest most epic thing. I've always thought that you don't need to be big and complex, you're often better off being simple but focused than complex but aimless, which is what a ton of movies and most mainstream games feel like, that they're complex and aimless, in a constant state of identity crisis where not even the creators know what the hell they're doing
Good on ya man, thanks for the shortened metaphor.
Like he said, a simple premise executed perfectly will be better than 90% of the complex shit out there
agreed people have forgotten why movies were made,they were made to distract yourself from the deep stress and struggle of normal life,rent,bills,work etc but now all were getting us "deep" lore heavy movies Wich you can't have fun with unless you watch 50 more movies and 3 tv shows to get not saying those are bad but just because those exist it doesn't make normal " generic fun movies bad because they aren't lore heavy
The same reason why people are starting to feel exhausted with Marvel movies. Because the enemy has to be this all-knowing, powerful, being that pretty much got defeated at the end of the movie. Which is not a bad thing, but doing it 3 times in a row is making you tired.
This movie is great. No over bloated story and plenty of ass kicking. This is how a really entertaining action film is done. Sometimes you don't really need much more than "good guy brings the pain getting back daughter's kitty cat bracelet".
