[vc_section][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Keeping track of body count in this chase\/revenge thriller is a challenge in this movie that elevates Bob Odenkirk as a top tier action star. This role is what was considered the main domain of guys like Bruce Willis or Liam Neeson. Don\u2019t let the intentional slow start dissuade you, once the action kicks in, the pace ramps up and it\u2019s unrelenting, outrageous and highly entertaining.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Odenkirk (Better Call Saul, Nebraska<\/i>) plays Hutch Mansell, an unassuming, seemingly weak and meek family man, working for his father-in-law and his obnoxious brother-in-law. The director\u00a0 <\/span>is Ilya Naishuller, who\u2019s done many music videos for the Russian band Leningrad. He uses a sped up loop to show Hutch\u2019s never ending, soul sucking existence. It\u2019s all capped off with a wife (Connie Nielsen) so distant she even puts a physical barrier between them in bed. They barely talk to each other, going through the motions. When confronted by a pair of home invaders, Hutch stands by and tells his son, Blake (Gage Monroe) to stop fighting and let them go. Wait! What\u2019s up with that? The son believes his father is a coward.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”10854″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeInUp”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”10804″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeInUp”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”10798″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeInUp”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]But Hutch\u2019s latent instinct for revenge kicks in leading to his taking on a bunch of punks on a bus who don\u2019t know who they\u2019re dealing with. He\u2019s protecting a girl being eyed by the gang. You now get more than eyeful of what he\u2019s capable of and what\u2019s to come. The choreography of the battle on the bus is bloody, brutal but outstanding and Odenkirk is so straight-faced and smooth that it\u2019s amusing. There\u2019s so much more to the Nobody<\/i> than meets the eye. Writer Derek Kolstad (John Wick<\/i>) keeps the dialogue at minimum throughout, but as with Keanu Reeves, he lets the action, with a wink, do the talking. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This bus mel\u00e9e puts him in the cross hairs of a powerful Russian mobster, Yulian Kuznetsov (Alexsey Serebraykov) who is a comical character in his own right. Yulian\u2019s first entrance is a big one that culminates with him singing poorly with a sexy Russian on a nightclub stage. He\u2019s definitely dangerous and he\u2019s got an army of lethal henchmen. Once Hutch learns he and his family are targets, he\u2019s on a one-man mission. His only two allies are his seemly decrepit father (Christopher Lloyd) in a nursing home, along with his buddy and colleague from his former life, Harry (RZA-actor and Wu-Tang Clan member). Turns out, they\u2019re both as lethal as Hutch. As always, Lloyd, with his buggy eyes, is a hoot.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”10806″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeInUp”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”10800″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeInUp”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”10855″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeInUp”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]Non-stop action gears up. Hutch takes the wheel with high-speed car chases using classic muscle cars, huge, stunt laden, bloody shoot outs culminating in a smartly, booby-trapped factory of death climax. It\u2019s all so violent, but you\u2019ll be cheering. David Buckley\u2019s music including \u201cThey Know, I Know, You Know,\u201d \u201cEveryone Dies,\u201d and \u201cNobody,\u201d along with Louis Prima\u2019s \u201cJust a Gigolo\u201d enhances the action.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This film is a prime example of a meek, self-described Nobody, who turned his back on his previous life and talent. As Hutch says \u201cI may have overcompensated.\u201d Director Naishuller\u2019s pacing keeps the beat going while Odenkirk is calm, calculated, and cool as Hutch. We wouldn\u2019t mind seeing them at it again. Stay for the post clip for a clue. This Nobody<\/i> is somebody to watch.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
