nobody movie reviews 2021

Bob Odenkirk takes an unexpected turn in Ilya Naishuller ’s “Nobody,” a clever action flick that repositions the star of “Better Call Saul” as someone closer to Liam Neeson ’s action heroes. While imagining one of the brilliant minds behind “Mr. Show” as an action hero may seem like a stretch, it turns out to be a stroke of genius as Odenkirk grounds his violent protagonist with a very special set of skills in a way that other actors would have missed. He’s great as a man who has tried to leave a violent past behind, but movies have taught us for generations that that’s easier said than done.

“Nobody” opens with a montage of the mundanity of Hutch Mansell’s daily existence. Every day, he scans the same transit card; every week, he misses the trash man by mere seconds. Life is a series of routines, which has eaten away at his marriage to Becca ( Connie Nielsen ) while providing a relatively happy home for his kids, Blake ( Gage Munroe ) and Abby ( Paisley Cadorath ). Hutch works at a manufacturing company owned by his father-in-law Eddie ( Michael Ironside ) and dominated by his alpha brother-in-law Charlie ( Billy MacLellan ). Luckily, writer Derek Kolstad doesn’t waste too much time on Hutch’s normie suburban existence, thrusting viewers into the action of “Nobody” almost immediately.

It starts with a home invasion, in which two bottom-level criminals rob the Mansells of some spending money and a few trinkets. Hutch has the drop on one of them, golf club raised in the air, but he doesn’t take the chance at elevating the violence, much to the disappointment of his son and disdain of his dude-bro male neighbor. When it looks like the invaders may have taken poor Abby’s kitty-kat bracelet, Hutch snaps, tracking them down to retrieve it.

However, “Nobody” is not really a “Death Wish”-esque story of an average guy turned vigilante. There are hints very early on that Hutch isn’t just a normal suburbanite. Even his man cave seems laid out to hint at a different background than your neighbor, including a radio through which he speaks to his brother Harry (RZA), who is in hiding. Why? And what’s up with the box of fake IDs and money that Hutch’s father David ( Christopher Lloyd ) has been storing away? When the bracelet retrieval job goes a little sideways, Hutch is on a bus heading home when he encounters a group of obnoxious drunks harassing a woman who’s on her own. He takes it upon himself to protect her and essentially starts a violent war with a Russian crime lord named Yulian ( Aleksey Serebryakov ).

The bus scene that initiates the real action of “Nobody” is the kind of action choreography work of art that will have devoted audiences applauding at screenings for years to come. It’s a clever piece of filmmaking that starts with Hutch throwing himself into a few awkward exchanges with his new enemies and continues to elevate, almost as if this encounter is awakening his skill set one punch at a time. Choreographed by the team behind “ John Wick ,” it’s the type of action scene that people will be mentioning with a smile for a long time, and a reminder of the adrenalin that a film can get from a creatively crafted action scene.

Other than a scene that sets up Yulian as a psychopathic villain that runs a bit too long, Naishuller is smart enough to use the momentum from the bus scene to push through the rest of the story. “Nobody” is an incredibly quick film, an experience that feels nowhere near as long as its 92-minute runtime. One could argue that the movie could have used a bit more prologue that would make Becca and their children into characters instead of functions for the plot, but there’s a tightness to “Nobody” that’s often lacking in modern films, one that’s reminiscent of the economy of the “John Wick” flicks, which is one of that trilogy’s greatest strengths.

Then there’s Odenkirk. Watching “Nobody” a second time made it easier to appreciate how much he brings to a role that someone could have easily sleepwalked through for a paycheck (this would be a much lesser movie with the current king of the Paycheck Performance, Bruce Willis , for example). Odenkirk deftly sells both halves of Hutch, making both his current family life and his violent past believable. It’s a smart performance, which should come as no surprise to fans of his work on “Breaking Bad” and “Saul,” but it’s also a wonderfully physical one in that he makes the stunt work and fight choreography genuine. The supporting cast is strong—particularly RZA and Lloyd, both of whom know exactly what to bring to this project—but it’s Odenkirk’s film through and through, and he nails it.

Unsurprisingly from the director of the insanity that is “ Hardcore Henry ,” Naishuller has a habit of overplaying his stylistic hand every now and then with slo-mo montages set to unusual music choices. And there’s a version of the film that feels like it has higher stakes—no one ever really feels in jeopardy here (at least “John Wick” had the dog). But Naishuller ultimately gets what matters here right, giving a talented actor an unexpected vehicle to drive really fast with just enough bloodshed for action fans, and not too much gore for average audiences. It’s the rare modern action film that makes me hope it does well enough to produce a sequel. (I also think there’s potential for a crossover “John Wick vs. Nobody” project that would make roughly a gajillion dollars worldwide.)

“Nobody” works because it values scene construction and action choreography above all else, leaving behind pretension and the overplotting that’s been common in the genre in recent years. It doesn’t break any molds so much as present a really good time within a familiar structure. After a year with too few action movies because of the shelving of the blockbuster, “Nobody” gives viewers an adrenalin rush that almost feels new again.

Only in theaters tomorrow, March 26th.

Nobody Reviews

Nobody ... makes no false pretenses in its practical re-creation of the Wick franchise

Full Review | Jul 19, 2024

You will not believe how smooth and just flat-out joyous a movie like this is with Odenkirk doling out the punishment. It’s just a delight.

Full Review | May 3, 2024

It has a fast-paced start that often benefits from Bob Odenkirk's physical prowess for action sequences, but unfortunately it often stumbles over a regular tone that prevents it from escaping the clichés of the genre. [Full review in Spanish]

Full Review | Original Score: 6/10 | Apr 15, 2024

... A film that aims nothing more than to play with genre boundaries to put the action story back into work; well-told, better-filmed, and one hundred percent delightful. [Full review in Spanish]

Full Review | Original Score: 10/10 | Dec 4, 2023

Odenkirk submits his action hero punch card & can take my money any day of the week with it all. It knows how wild it is & it goes about it in spades with its 90 minute runtime

Full Review | Jul 26, 2023

Despite its intentions, Nobody feels condescending and portentous far more often than it actually feels campy and self-aware.

Full Review | Jul 21, 2023

…Nobody’s standard-issue plotting and tired male posturing land far short of the B-Movie classic it aspires to, but there is enough brisk action and some bonuses, largely through the casting of veterans like Michael Ironside and Christopher Lloyd…

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 18, 2023

Nobody is a bone-crunching, knuckle-busting, lip-splitting action film that has every intention of dragging you across concrete with the taste of asphalt in your mouth and bits of glass in your forehead.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 9, 2022

Nobody is an arresting action showcase for star Bob Odenkirk and a skillfully staged spectacle of stuntwork nearly on par with the John Wick trilogy.

Full Review | Original Score: 4.5/5 | Sep 1, 2022

A unique take on the action genre, Nobody is lean, mean, and showcases a delightful Odenkirk leading the way through all the carnage.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 17, 2022

As “Nobody” propels forward the violence gets crazier and the body count mounts. Yet the movie never loses its self-awareness.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 17, 2022

Nobody feels like the cinematic brother to one of my favourite films of recent years, Michael Caine's Harry Brown, equally as violent and satisfying.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 16, 2022

A well-executed and fun film full of gunfire left and right... There's never a surplus of those. [Full review in Spanish]

Full Review | Aug 9, 2022

Hardly an enlightened examination of modern manhood.

Full Review | Original Score: C | Mar 16, 2022

In a world filled with a recent collection of well-made action films, Nobody is a great addition to this action renaissance. If this is the Bob Odenkirk John Wick, when can we expect the Rhea Seehorn Atomic Blonde?

Full Review | Mar 8, 2022

Nobody will thrill people who fancy some violent laughs. Its perhaps best summed up by Lloyds assessment of his sons handiwork excessive, but glorious!

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 2, 2022

The director's knack for bravado action shines in part because Kolstad's script makes us care about Hutch, but we only care because he is perfectly cast.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 12, 2022

In a world full of tough talkers who boast what theyd do if given half a chance, heres a refreshing reminder what you dont know is reason enough to probably leave someone alone.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/4 | Feb 3, 2022

Even better is Odenkirk who trained for two years to become an action hero - and owns it.

Full Review | Nov 30, 2021

Odenkirk is unsurprisingly brilliant, and the film is a hell of a lot of fun.

‘Nobody’ Review: Bob Odenkirk Gets His Death Wish On in an Action-Geek Fantasy That’s Not What It Seems

It may be preposterous, but Ilya Naishuller's don't-get-mad-get-even thriller confirms he's a born filmmaker.

Before there were superhero films, there were don’t-get-mad-get-even films. You might say that the two genres have nothing to do with each other. But in the early-to-mid-’70s, when the revenge film as we know it was coming into being with “Dirty Harry,” “Walking Tall,” and “Death Wish,” part of the premise of the new pulp righteousness was that a man who seethed softly and carried a big weapon to cleanse the streets of “scum” had the kind of invincibility we now associate with demigods in spandex. The revenge genre, which could also be called the defend-yourself-because-no-one-else-will genre, became a mythology, a fusion of lone-wolf Western nostalgia and right-wing nihilism that any actor with enough muscle mass and the right scowl could plug into. Sly and Arnold, Chuck Norris and Steven Seagal, Bruce Willis — they all, in a way, played variations on the same character, the ruthless bruiser who could never be defeated because he had the wrath of nobility on his side. His squint of cool rage was the only superpower he needed.

Which brings us to Bob Odenkirk . You might say that “ Nobody ,” in which the wily star of “Better Call Saul” and “Breaking Bad” plays a glum suburban drone who gets in touch with his inner thug-bashing badass, follows every rule of the genre. It’s got a hero who starts off as a workaday family man, with a nice wife (Connie Nielsen) and two nice kids. Then he’s attacked by criminals in his own home. After which he starts to play dirty, give into his death wish, and walk tall.

Popular on Variety

It’s in the middle of the night that a pair of robbers slip into the house. Odenkirk’s Hutch Mansell, hearing noises, goes downstairs to investigate, and there’s a scuffle — but it’s between his teenage son, Blake (Gage Munroe), and one of the intruders. Hutch, holding a golf club for protection, can’t bring himself to use it. The robbers leave, but Hutch finds himself being called a wimp. By who? By the cops, his son, and his macho neighbor. By everyone who hears about the incident.

We think we’re watching a movie about a paragon of middle-class mildness, like Bryan Cranston’s high-school teacher in “Breaking Bad” (or Bronson’s architect in “Death Wish”), who’s about to tap into something he has never felt before. But then Hutch, in a moment of existential meltdown, takes a midnight bus ride, and the bus is soon occupied by half a dozen Russian goons looking for trouble. Hutch takes the handgun his brother gave him and pointedly drops the bullets out of the chamber and onto the floor. He then takes on the entire gang with his bare hands (and a blade or two), introducing the fight with the Eastwood-worthy line, “I hope these assholes like hospital food.” Moments later, Hutch walks away, bruised but unbowed, and his victims are indeed headed for the hospital.

How did this happen? Hutch, it turns out, was never what he seemed. He’s got quite a backstory. And “Nobody” isn’t the movie it seemed either. It was directed by Ilya Naishuller, the audacious punk video auteur who has made just one previous feature, “Hardcore Henry” (2015), a spectacularly grandiose and innovative sci-fi noir action thriller done almost entirely in one shot, all from the point-of-view of its cybernetic hero. I found it at once annoying and amazing, and “Nobody” proves again that Naishuller, born in Russia and raised in London, may be as far as you can get from a psychological realist (the spirit of sin-city graphic novels and first-person-shooter video games flows through his blood) but he’s a born filmmaker.

“Nobody” is a thoroughly over-the-top and, at times, loony-tunes entry in the live-and-let-die vengeance-is-mine genre. Is it a good movie? Not exactly. But its 90 minutes fly by, and it’s a canny vehicle for Odenkirk, the unlikeliest star of a righteous macho bloodbath since Dustin Hoffman got his bear trap on in “Straw Dogs.” With his nerdishly parted receding hair, officious voice, and crestfallen air, Odenkirk could be the gloomier brother of Steve Carell, and you may wonder how we could start to buy him as the scariest person in the room. But Hutch possesses not so much brute strength as a certain deadly secret training and mad skill, and Odenkirk shows you how the payback brings him back to life. He’ll need every bit of that skill, too. One of the thugs he damaged is the brother of Yulian, a Russian mobster played by Aleksey Serebyakov (from “Leviathan”) with a fearsome magnetism that’s at once authentic and operatic. He’s like the Frankenstein’s monster of hard-partying hooligans.

The plot of “Nobody” is, in a word, preposterous, but Odenkirk’s conviction makes it work, as does the deranged twist of having Hutch team up with his retired FBI agent father (Christopher Lloyd) and adoptive brother (RZA). The movie is all about how Hutch, beneath his safe and colorless life, has to get back in touch with who he really is. And maybe that’s a metaphor for the way a lot of middle-class nobodies feel. It would be overstating things, though, to push the meaning of a thriller like this one too far. It’s just a cardboard fable. But when the ultraviolence erupts, the movie pops.

Nobody First Reviews: A Bloody, Funny, Stylish Shot of Adrenaline

Critics say the bob odenkirk movie feels like the snarky cousin of john wick , full of sly winks, memorable characters, and a healthy dose of outrageous action..

TAGGED AS: Action , First Reviews , movies , reviews

From the creator of the John Wick franchise comes Ilya Naishuller’ s Nobody , a similar action movie about a retired family man with a particular set of skills who goes up against the Russian mob. This one gives us comedic actor and Better Call Saul star Bob Odenkirk as the unlikely lead, and according to most of the early reviews of the movie, it’s worth seeing for him alone. That and a ton of brutal action and a tone that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

Here’s what critics are saying about Nobody :

Is Nobody a good time at the movies?

Nobody doesn’t take itself seriously and just wants the viewer to have fun and have a moment to tune out from the real world for a couple of hours. – Jamie Broadnax, Black Girl Nerds

Is it a good movie? Not exactly. But its 90 minutes fly by, and it’s a canny vehicle for Odenkirk. – Owen Gleiberman, Variety

Naishuller and Odenkirk prove to be a winning duo of entertaining chaos. – Preston Barta, Fresh Fiction

An immensely entertaining experience… You’re in for a wild ride that never lets up. – Meagan Navarro, Bloody Disgusting

Will it satisfy action junkies?

Action-movie lovers get plenty to love, from an appearance from 1980s tough-guy actor Michael Ironside to well-crafted two-fisted affairs. – Brian Truitt, USA Today

Its approach to methodically crafted action will leave you cheering in your seat… This is an action film crafted by action fans with style, love, and the slyest of winks. – Rob Hunter, Film School Rejects

Nobody doesn’t just exist in the action genre but adds to it. – Kate Sánchez, But Why Tho? A Geek Community

The combat, while not as flashily shot as the work of [ John Wick directors Chad Stahelski and David Leitch], is utilitarian enough to get the job done. – Kyle Pinion, ScreenRex

(Photo by Allen Fraser/©Universal Pictures)

How violent is it?

[The bus scene is] one of those movie fights that just goes on and on, the violence moving from brutal to funny through sheer, absurd duration. It’s amazing. – A.A. Dowd, AV Club

The hyper-stylization and blood-letting are grounded by the gallows humor. – Meagan Navarro, Bloody Disgusting

Nobody simply doubles down on the genre’s most immoral implication, for unquestioningly equating manliness with brute violence. – Chuck Bowen, Slant Magazine

How is Ilya Naishuller’s work as director ?

With his second feature, Ilya Naishuller has grown as a filmmaker and truly has the potential to be one of the most exciting action directors working. – Sean Mulvihill, FanboyNation

[He] may be as far as you can get from a psychological realist… but he’s a born filmmaker. – Owen Gleiberman, Variety

Naishuller stages the action effectively (that bus sequence stands out), delivering visceral thrills even for those of us who are keeping our distance. – John DeFore, Hollywood Reporter

Naishuller is quite good at directing action. – Chris Evangelista, Slashfilm

How does it look ?

Pawel Pogorzelski’s cinematography is just fabulous in the film… Violence has never looked this beautiful. – Dewey Singleton, AwardsWatch

Midsommar and Hereditary cinematographer Pawel Pogorzelski brings the same slick camera maneuvers that elevated those movies to dreamlike planes in service of pure entertainment. – Eric Kohn, IndieWire

Shout out to cinematographer Pawel Pogorzelski, because stylistic flair becomes that much more important as narrative throughlines are straighter than arrows. – Matt Donato, What to Watch

How is Bob Odenkirk as an action hero?

He’s simply awesome and owns this movie. – Don Shanahan, Every Movie Has a Lesson

A credible Jekyll and Hyde act… It’s a blast seeing the actor in this kind of role, even if Nobody does vaguely play like the nihilistic cartoon version of a Vince Gilligan arc. – A.A. Dowd, AV Club

The Odenkirk-ness is really all there is… which is enough to keep things interesting, if not make them all that good. – Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic

[This] may leave you longing to watch Better Call Saul and Odenkirk’s thorny performance as Saul Goodman, a truly piercing dramatization of frustration and failure. – Chuck Bowen, Slant Magazine

Odenkirk deserves way better. – Kyle Pinion, ScreenRex

Does anyone in the supporting cast stand out ?

Christopher Lloyd is a special delight as Hutch’s shotgun-toting father. – Rob Hunter, Film School Rejects

Christopher Lloyd renews his classic mad-science energy with a devious twist. – Eric Kohn, IndieWire

An appearance by RZA as Hutch’s brother, whose own hidden talents aid Hutch in his quest for vengeance, also adds some comedic flair to this story. – Jamie Broadnax, Black Girl Nerds

Other than Odenkirk, they have little to work with and don’t leave an impression. – Chris Agar, ScreenRant

How is the villain?

With a fearsome magnetism that’s at once authentic and operatic… He’s like the Frankenstein’s monster of hard-partying hooligans. – Owen Gleiberman, Variety

It all goes downhill once the villain, Yulian, is dropped into play. – Kyle Pinion, ScreenRex

One of the blandest movie villains in recent memory. – Chris Evangelista, Slashfilm

That Yulian fails to be compelling or intimidating contributes to the film’s overall low stakes. – Meagan Navarro, Bloody Disgusting

What about the writing ?

The plot of Nobody is, in a word, preposterous… It’s just a cardboard fable. But when the ultraviolence erupts, the movie pops. – Owen Gleiberman, Variety

The plot is absurd and could fall apart easily when looking back on it… Is it trying to say anything? Not really. This is as slight as it gets. – Aaron Neuwirth, We Live Entertainment

There’s some unwise and unnecessary narration early on, but the already slim exposition is tidily delivered in oft-comedic ways. – Rob Hunter, Film School Rejects

Nobody seems to think that if it follows a paint-by-numbers Wick formula, that’ll be enough. It’s not. – Chris Evangelista, Slashfilm

The story lacks the emotional impact for the film to truly connect with viewers. – Chris Agar, ScreenRant

Is the movie funny ?

The film also happens to be a masterclass in sardonic humor. – Sean Mulvihill, FanboyNation

This isn’t a parody, but it offers sly humor on many levels…[and] a couple of well-timed visual gags. – Brian Truitt, USA Today

I was hoping for more comic relief lines. – Danielle Solzman, Solzy at the Movies

Is it trying too hard to be John Wick ?

Kolstad’s script takes a similar idea but finds the different wrinkles to… create a unique film in the similar mold. – Sean Mulvihill, FanboyNation

Like Kolstad’s John Wick , but it makes its own way with more humor and charisma than the more silent and gritty counterparts. – Kate Sánchez, But Why Tho? A Geek Community

You could call Nobody Wickian… In philosophy, however, we’re stuck in Death Wish territory. – A.A. Dowd, AV Club

If John Wick is Buster Keaton, Hutch is Harold Lloyd. – Aaron Neuwirth, We Live Entertainment

The influence is unmistakable to the point where it keeps Nobody from fully creating its own identity. – Joshua Starnes, VitalThrills.com

Should it get its own franchise ?

Move over John Wick and make way for Hutch Mansell. – Dewey Singleton, AwardsWatch

[It] leaves you eager to follow the Mansells on any blood splatter-filled journey. – Meagan Navarro, Bloody Disgusting

Nobody features an instantly iconic action trio that I’d never imagine in a million a years. Now I want spinoffs and sequels with these characters. – Sean Mulvihill, FanboyNation

The worst thing you can say about it is this: It’s satisfying enough that it could spawn sequels, possibly distracting its star from the plum dramatic roles he deserves. – John DeFore, Hollywood Reporter

Nobody releases in theaters on March 26, 2021.

Review: In ‘Nobody,’ Bob Odenkirk transforms into an action star. It suits him

Copy Link URL Copied!

The Times is committed to reviewing theatrical film releases during the COVID-19 pandemic . Because moviegoing carries risks during this time, we remind readers to follow health and safety guidelines as outlined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and local health officials .

“Nobody,” the brutish, comedic action-thriller in theaters this weekend, opens with an image unlike any other brandished by “Better Call Saul” star Bob Odenkirk: Sitting in an interrogation room, blood splattered across his denim jacket, gore embellishing his long, bruised face, disheveled, he lights a cigarette. From his jacket he reveals a can of tuna, a can opener and a gray kitten. To which his interrogators ask — “Who the f— are you?”

Established star images are meant to be leveraged. Here, the typically mild-mannered character actor and comedian flexes his everyman persona to portray a somber action hero weary of hiding his true identity.

That depth is the tinge of sophistication the well experienced Odenkirk brings to the Neanderthal shoot’em-up antics of “Nobody,” a violently high-testosterone B-movie that’s more a spoof than a satire of the vengeful-father subgenre. A natural vehicle for director Ilya Naishuller — following his 2016 Russian GoPro-shot sci-fi action flick “Hardcore Henry” — “Nobody” gathers from the familiar blood-soaked stream of “John Wick,” “Death Wish” and the “Taken” franchise to fashion a savage ode featuring the same mettle of its inspirations but with far greater humor attached to the well-worn beats.

Before the opening’s evocative tableau, a listless Hutch lives with his family of four in a gray suburban enclave. Here, the monotony of his everyday — the ding of his metro pass, a mouse click on a spreadsheet, his feet hitting the gravel for a daily run — serves as an unrelenting soundtrack for his anonymous routine as the dull head of a dreary nuclear family.

See, Hutch Mansell used to be someone. Someone special, someone feared. Now he exclusively wears the same beige khakis and blue-and-white-striped polo to his mundane auditing gig at his father-in-law’s nondescript manufacturing plant. It’s telling that we never discover what exactly this bland factory produces — and instead only see the accounting numbers that flash on Hutch’s computer screen. Because while Hutch might be breathing, the father of two isn’t living.

His fortunes change, so to speak, on the night two masked intruders break into his cozy home. They want his money, his watch and his wedding ring. The type of panic most subdued suburbanites would feel evades the unassuming dad. Even after his son (Gage Munroe) jumps a would-be-robber, wrestling him to the ground while Hutch wields a golf club, Hutch fails to act and allows the inept thieves to flee.

The incident leaves his beleaguered son disappointed in his gutless father and Hutch ashamed of himself — a pitiless shame deepened by ridicule from judgmental cops, his leather-jacket toting, ‘72 Challenger-owning neighbor, and gun-flaunting brother-in-law (Billy MacLellan). Hutch dutifully wears the albatross until his young daughter (Paisley Cadorath) cries for the lost kitty-cat bracelet taken by the intruders. As with John Wick and his dog, the trinket unleashes the geyser of simmering rage hidden within.

This family man isn’t your everyday auditor. Rather, the job title serves as a euphemism for Hutch’s very particular set of skills, skills acquired after a long career. Beneath his demure veneer exists a killing machine so classified by the government that a blackmailed Pentagon office worker must traverse to the basement of the intelligence center for information, only to discover a redacted file code-named, simply, “Nobody.”

The dormant assassin shakes his suffocating doldrums to track down the assailants who snatched his daughter’s bracelet. Even after he finds the perpetrators, his vengeful journey, for which he rides the bus into New York City’s seedy underbelly, isn’t enough to satiate his long quelled urges. A walking study of a midlife crisis gone awry, Hutch prays for danger, hoping to send a would-be punk to the hospital. Opportunity literally comes knocking when a load of drunk Euro-bros parade onto the bus.

Although Hutch ostensibly instigates the melee to protect a young woman passenger, “Nobody” isn’t concerned with “Death Wish”-style vigilante justice. Rather, Naishuller grasps the situation as an entry point to greater carnage.

The editing by William Yeh and Evan Schiff for the ensuing five-on-one brawl faintly captures the fluidity of Elísabet Ronaldsdóttir’s work on “John Wick.” While the choreographed bludgeoning — Hutch strangles one guy with a stop requested cord, gets thrown through a bus window, beats another unlucky oncomer with a bus handle, and performs a tracheotomy on a downed victim with a pocketknife and a straw — is a symphony of slapstick violence composed in brilliant clarity. A primal Hutch, beaming a sly smile of satisfaction, revels in the onslaught.

The fracas reveals “Nobody” in its true form: a bleak action-comedy whose biggest laughs stem from a hunger for gratuitous brutality.

Beyond the pain inflicted by Hutch, Odenkirk’s action-star vehicle lacks any deeper emotion, but Naishuller relishes the opportunity to abandon logical storytelling in lieu of bust ‘em up prowess — and to introduce other cartoonish characters.

At one point, Christopher Lloyd, playing Hutch’s gloomy father, hoists a 12-gauge shotgun; a mysterious, horn-playing compatriot (RZA) communicates with Hutch through the radio; and a Russian mob leader and club owner, Yulian Kuznetsov (Aleksei Serebryakov), loves singing and dancing on his Euro-club stage but can kill a man with a smashed martini glass. This last guy hires Pavel (Araya Mengesha), a brooding Black Russian assassin, to hunt Hutch after Yulian’s son dies in the aforementioned bus scuffle.

These aging male characters desperately try to imagine a life outside the underworld, but it’s the sole place they feel whole. That void has gnawed at Hutch, subtracting the passion from his marriage with Becca (a criminally underutilized Connie Nielsen) and making him the butt of his neighbor‘s and brother-in-law’s jokes. “Deep down I always knew it was a facade,” Hutch says of his sleepy suburban life.

And once he literally sends the women and children away, “Nobody” becomes a domain for those egos to run wild again. The film’s hyper-masculine, hard-stomping soul and metal soundtrack takes hold, culminating in a bullet-riddled final showdown at Hutch’s factory.

In “Nobody,” Bob Odenpunches, Odenkicks and Odenshoots for a pulpy dark comedy waiting to thrill junkie B-movie lovers.

Mark Wahlberg & Mel Gibson's Action Thriller Release Date Delayed (But Avoids Box Office Competition)

New phantom of the opera movie in the works at disney+ with high school musical director, star wars introduced luke skywalker's clone wars mentor 41 years ago, & he's still canon.

For years, audiences have known Bob Odenkirk as lawyer Saul Goodman in the Breaking Bad universe. In Nobody , the actor tries his hand at being an action star. The film is written by Derek Kolstad, part of the creative team behind the now-iconic John Wick franchise. Because of that connection, it was very easy to draw comparisons between John Wick and Nobody , with the hope being the latter could be a springboard to the next great genre series. Unfortunately, the film falls short of those aspirations. Nobody delivers plenty of hard-hitting action audiences expect, but the story lacks the emotional impact for the film to truly connect with viewers.

In Nobody , Odenkirk stars as Hutch Mansell, an average family man stuck in the same daily routine, living a rather mundane existence. That is until he becomes victim to a home invasion, during which he allows the perpetrators to get the better of him. This personal failure awakens a long-dormant side of Hutch. Before long, he finds himself taking action and standing up for himself to criminals. Unfortunately, this new approach puts Hutch in the crosshairs of dangerous drug lord Yulian Kuznetsov (Aleksey Serebraykov), leaving Hutch to fight for his life against a group of Russians.

Related: Nobody: Everything We Know About Bob Odenkirk's John Wick Clone

Kolstad's script borrows some tricks from the John Wick playbook, namely in the sense it paints Hutch as a man with a violent past who's looking to move on to something more fulfilling. Sadly, this angle isn't fully fleshed out in Nobody , as the film barely digs beyond the surface level of Hutch's family life. His wife and two children aren't so much realized characters as they are devices designed to illustrate Hutch's current state and attempt to get audiences to care about the protagonist. This makes the ensuing action sequences feel standard rather than cathartic, since Nobody lacks a truly engaging emotional hook to draw viewers in. The thin narrative is further hurt by there not being a rich and interesting mythology to prop up Nobody's world, so the screenplay comes across as generic instead of innovative.

Nobody director Ilya Naishuller, best known for Hardcore Henry , is clearly in his wheelhouse here, crafting a series of fun action set pieces. Nothing in Nobody comes close to reaching the heights of John Wick or similar titles, but they're still effective and filled with brutality to help deliver on Nobody's R-rating. All of the action is also easy to follow, primarily taking place in wider angles with a lack of quick cuts. Due to the way Nobody is shot, it's easy to tell Odenkirk committed himself to the physical component of his character, which definitely helps the action scenes flow and land with the intended impact. In terms of the story, they're rarely anything more than superficial thrills, but those looking for hard-hitting action will probably find something to enjoy. The bus fight that takes place early in the film is one sequence that stands out above the rest.

RZA, Bob Odenkirk, and Christopher Lloyd holding guns in a warehouse in Nobody

Odenkirk channels his likable screen presence and charisma to mold Hutch into someone the audience can root for. Part of the appeal of his casting, and what works well in the movie, is that he isn't the prototypical choice for this kind of role, but still finds a way to pull it off convincingly. Odenkirk's dramatic and comedic chops are also utilized well, particularly in scenes when Hutch reflects on his life and choices he's made. However, he is forced to carry the film on his shoulders, as many of the other roles are thinly-drawn. The supporting cast, consisting of big names like Connie Nielsen, Christopher Lloyd, RZA, and others, do not have much to do. This isn't to say anyone in Nobody delivers a bad performance, it's just that other than Odenkirk, they have little to work with and don't leave an impression.

Instead of being the next John Wick , Nobody plays out more as John Wick lite, which could be disappointing for some. It's fun to see Odenkirk try something new at this stage in his career, and Nobody clearly knows what it is and never takes itself too seriously (see: the moments of levity, the soundtrack full of licensed classics). Still, these merits don't truly help elevate the final product beyond fleeting entertainment. There's still a dearth of high-profile genre releases due to the pandemic, so those looking for stylish action may latch on to Nobody . Still, it's not a title that demands to be seen on the big screen, especially with Universal making their movies available on-demand shortly after theatrical release. Those interested can wait until Nobody can be watched at home.

Next: Watch the Nobody Trailer

Nobody opens in U.S. theaters on March 26, 2021. The film is 92 minutes long and is rated R for strong violence and bloody images, language throughout and brief drug use.

Let us know what you thought of the film in the comments!

Bob Odenkirk stars as Hutch Mansell, an underestimated and overlooked dad, and husband, taking life’s indignities on the chin and never pushing back. However, when two thieves break into his suburban home, Hutch declines to defend himself or his family, hoping to prevent serious violence. His teenage son is disappointed in him, and his wife seems to pull only further away - but the incident triggers the underlying rage in Hutch, leading him down a path to become a dangerous man with brutal skills and the attitude to match.

Nobody Review

05 Mar 2021

Better Cull Saul, anyone? For a decade or so now, as Jimmy ‘Saul Goodman’ McGill in both Breaking Bad and its prequel, Better Call Saul , Bob Odenkirk has made talking — invariably of the fast variety — his way out of danger into an art form. When the bullets start to fly, he’ll be found running as fast as he can in the opposite direction.

That all changes with the rollocking ride that is Nobody , in which Odenkirk makes a late bid for geriaction-hero status. By the end of Ilya Naishuller ’s movie, Odenkirk has racked up a body count around the triple figure mark. He is the danger. He is the one who knocks.

That Odenkirk — with able assistance from Naishuller’s inventive staging and the action aces of David Leitch and Chad Stahelski ’s gang of cunning stunts at 87North — can cut (and shoot, and stab) the mustard is deeply impressive. It would have been easy to turn this into a parody of action films, and have the central joke be that Odenkirk’s formidable-assassin-turned-family-man Hutch Mansell is woefully out of shape, wheezing his way through fight scenes. And there is a little of that, particularly in his first outing, in which he gets as good as he gives during an intervention on public transport. Otherwise, as Hutch gets back into the swing of things, he shows a yen for meting out punishment that makes John Wick look about as intimidating as a branch of Wickes.

There’s a cartoonish quality, and even a lightness of touch, to the violence.

Invoking Wick’s name is not an accident. Not only does Leitch, who co-directed the first of the Keanu Reeves action series, produce here, but the two films share a writer: Derek Kolstad . And there’s quite a bit of shared DNA, from the basic premise to the Russian bad guys. What makes this more than just a loose remake is in the tone. While Odenkirk, deliberately, isn’t running off his motormouth, this is so much funnier than the Wick movies which, for all their stylish gunplay, have a tendency to disappear up their immaculately tailored backsides. There’s a cartoonish quality, and even a lightness of touch, to the violence in Nobody that might disappoint anyone looking for a soul-searching treatise on vigilantism and the corrosive nature of vengeance.

This will leave some cold, while its central message, that all your problems can be solved by standing up for yourself and beating the shit out of anything that moves, is on the slightly problematic side. It’s also absolutely criminal to let Odenkirk and the likes of Christopher Lloyd have fun with guns, while leaving Connie Nielsen on the sidelines in a barely written role as Hutch’s wife. But the whole thing moves so quickly it’s hard to find time to lament these failings; plus, there are lashings of style (Aleksey Serebryakov’s bad guy gets an entrance for the ages), a great soundtrack (including a needle drop that will please fans of one football team in particular), and Odenkirk at his most infectiously charismatic. And if that still doesn’t work for you, there’s a cute kitten too.

‘Nobody’ Review: A Wolf in Wimp’s Clothing

Bob Odenkirk plays a family man with a secret past in this slick, shallow thriller.

Share full article

By Jeannette Catsoulis

As slick as a blood spill and as single-minded as a meat grinder, “Nobody” hustles us along with a swiftness that blurs the foolishness of its plot and the depravity of its message. A series of cartoonishly rapid cuts introduces Hutch ( Bob Odenkirk ), a mild-mannered suburban schmuck whose identical days flip past in a haze of chores and a vague desk job. His sighing wife (Connie Nielsen) and teenage son (Gage Munroe) regard him with something close to pity — especially when he balks at attacking two luckless home invaders. His son is fearless; Hutch is frozen.

A journey from emasculation to invigoration, “Nobody” harks back to the vigilante dramas of the 1970s and early 80s. Unlike the would-be heroes of those movies, though, Hutch has no real excuse for the savage spree he instigates and perpetuates. (His family is unharmed; what’s wounded is his ego.) Moreover, Hutch is not who he seems, his secret past seemingly known only to his wily father (Christopher Lloyd) and adoptive brother (RZA). So when he boards a bus, splashing its interior in the blood, teeth and tissue of a passel of Russian gangsters, his lethal skills are as unsurprising as his ultimate satiety. He might emerge bruised and battered, but — after seeing him calmly empty the bullets from his gun before the brawl — we know that’s how he likes it: He wants to feel the damage he’s doing.

Flashy and cocksure, “Nobody,” written by Derek Kolstad (the narrative engine of the “John Wick” franchise ), sprints from one dust up to the next with winking efficiency. However disreputable its hoary thesis — that real masculinity resides in the fists — its director, Ilya Naishuller , knows how to make a film move. And this one races by: The stunts are ultrasmooth, the dialogue glibly economical and Pawel Pogorzelski’s camera is agile and ruthlessly focused. As the bodies mount and Hutch becomes the target of a karaoke-singing Russian mobster (a charismatic Alexey Serebryakov), the movie feebly tries to pardon Hutch’s implacable brutality.

“I’m a good man, a family man,” he informs an adversary. But he’s a counterfeit regular guy in a movie that’s openly contemptuous of such men, a sleeping assassin who’s finally free to scratch a long-suppressed itch. (Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme singing “I’ve Gotta Be Me” during his transition is not exactly subtle.) Now, at last, Hutch is alive; more important, now he’s a man.

Nobody Rated R for guns, knives, explosives and terrible karaoke. Running time: 1 hour 32 minutes. In theaters. Please consult the guidelines outlined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention before watching movies inside theaters.

Nobody Is Just Good Enough Thanks to Bob Odenkirk

Nobody is a movie about men who need, who are even secretly hoping for, an excuse to commit violence. They’re suburban men, family men, men who should be beyond such things — but if they had no choice , if their homes or their families were in peril, well, who could blame them? When Hutch Mansell ( Bob Odenkirk ) opts not to fight back when his house gets broken into by armed intruders, everyone around him shakes their heads in barely disguised contempt at his perceived weakness, but also at the perceived waste. “Did you even take a swing?” one of the cops who responds to the call asks when he sees the golf club Hutch had armed himself with. “I wish they’d have picked my place, you know? Could have used the exercise,” his weekend warrior neighbor smirks. Most damning of all is Hutch’s father-in-law Eddie (Michael Ironside), who owns the manufacturing business at which Hutch works, and who says, “I’m thinking you did the best thing you could. I mean, you being you.”

These men are all action heroes in waiting in their own heads, but the conceit in Nobody is that Hutch genuinely is one. He’s a trained killer in nondescript dad drag, one who gave up the life in favor of a peaceful existence with his wife, Becca (Connie Nielsen), and their kids, Blake (Gage Munroe) and Abby (Paisley Cadorath). If this sounds a bit like the start of a certain Keanu Reeves franchise, know that Hutch also has a fateful run-in with the shiftless relative of a formidable Russian gangster who runs a neon-lit nightclub. Nobody shares the same screenwriter as John Wick and is produced by David Leitch, who, with fellow stuntman turned filmmaker Chad Stahelski, made the first John Wick before moving on to the equally fab Atomic Blonde . But it’s directed by Ilya Naishuller, whose 2015 debut Hardcore Henry was a 96-minute barrage shot entirely from the perspective of its protagonist — a movie with brashness to spare and the sensibility of a tween spitting slurs into his headset while on his eighth hour of a Call of Duty marathon. Naishuller doesn’t bring the elegant coherence that Leitch and Stahelski do to their fight sequences or manage the same touch of absurdity to lighten up the brutal excesses.

What he does have is Bob Odenkirk, and watching Odenkirk join the middle-aged action hero fold is pleasurable enough to make Nobody worth the while, even if it’s an obvious echo of other, better recent films. What else have you got to watch right now, anyway? Remember movies? Dumb, fun movies? Odenkirk may have done a bunch of well-documented training for the role, but he still looks like an unremarkable guy in Nobody , someone whose fitness and general badassery did not anoint him with accompanying cool. Working as a one-man clean-up crew was apparently as much a family business as his current paper-pushing gig. Hutch’s father, David (Christopher Lloyd), lives in a retirement home but gives off hints of a storied past, while Hutch’s brother, Harry (RZA), did his own opting out by faking his death, serving mostly as a confidant and adviser over the radio. Everyone else in Hutch’s life treats him as barely visible, though the film, not always convincingly, makes gestures at this being his fault as much as anyone else’s. Hutch has, in his own words, “overcorrected,” turning himself into the parent who makes breakfast no one eats, who sensibly takes public transportation, and whose real-estate agent spouse is the more successful one in their sexless marriage.

It’d be nice if Nobody contained any trace of irony or introspection to the way it connects Hutch’s malaise to its depiction of his emasculation, or acknowledged the enduring ugliness underlying those fantasies of getting to fight off intruders coming to take what’s yours. But Odenkirk doesn’t play Hutch as a supercharged version of an angry white man looking for an excuse to shoot someone. Instead, he approaches the character as someone who misses doing the only thing he was good at, even if he doesn’t miss the life of isolation and secrecy that accompanied it. The first time his character heads out into the night, it’s to retrieve something he believes was stolen from his home in the robbery — a mission that leaves him regretful and hating himself even more. It’s on the bus ride home that he has an encounter with a group of drunken hooligans, a run-in that will spark an escalating battle with a sociopathic criminal big shot named Yulian (Aleksey Serebryakov). But there on the bus, watching those would-be toughs harass a young woman and exude trouble, Hutch starts smiling. It’s the grin of an addict committing to breaking sobriety after years. It’s the grin of someone who has finally found himself in a situation in which he has no choice but to commit violence, and the relief on Odenkirk’s face is wonderfully complicated — enough to want him to try action out again, next time in a movie that’s more than half-baked.

A solid impotence thriller! (new categorization i'm workin on of action movies for guys whose whole thing is "if i beat up enough people my son will finally call me dad and my wife will fuck me again")

Odenkirk is great here! I know we're all shocked that HE'S the star of an action movie, but– he's a handsome white guy! Every one gets at least one (1) action movie. Even if you're funny. Especially if you're funny! People love to see a funny guy do something serious and go "whoa... i know this is crazy but he's actually really good at not being funny." The trio we get at the end is so perfect! Gonna be a big movie…

So heartwarming to see a story about how brutally killing hundreds of people can bring a whole family together.

Review by SilentDawn ★★★★★ 19

Pure uncut dad-rock. This is bursting at the seams with boomer/gen-x needle-drops, wallowing ultraviolence within absurd comedic set-pieces, and a fetishization of tactility, from the destruction of the human body to weaponry to vinyl and cassette tapes. After a boring lifestyle of a cushy 9-to-5, Bob Odenkirk's Hutch Mansell finally gets an excuse to get back to his old self after an attempted burglary at his home. And that self is, of course, a total killing-machine. The action here is different than the John Wick series in spite of Nobody being written by Derek Kolstad, and it's clearly due to director Ilya Naishuller, who was responsible for the FPS vehicle Hardcore Henry . Don't worry, this is about as crisp…

A bystander who intervenes to help a woman being harassed by a group of men becomes the target of a vengeful drug lord.

Hutch Mansell (Bob Odenkirk hoping to follow in the footsteps of Liam Neeson and Keanu Reeves to become late-career cinematic badasses with Nobody ) is more than a nobody, he might as well be a zombie. With a weekly routine so basic and mundane it can be summarized in 30 seconds with rapid hard cuts in quick succession, we learn that Hutch’s life of existential crisis consists of working an unfulfilling position at a manufacturing business owned by his in-laws, regularly failing to get the trash ready for pickup every Tuesday, brief workout sessions whenever he has the time, and a rather cold and distant dynamic with his wife Becca (Connie Nielsen) and his son and daughter, although he tries and is well-meaning.

The family is pulled further apart when a pair of thieves break into their home sloppily attempting to steal whatever they can (there’s a sympathetic reason they are doing this, and it’s nice to see the film make time to humanize such controversial life choices with believability from desperation). In the middle of the frenzy, Hutch’s son is able to wrestle one of the armed robbers to the ground leaving the other wide-open for his dad to essentially play whack-a-mole with his golf club. Hutch approaches his target with the intent to protect his family but suddenly stops. The violent situation is diffused and the burglars retreat, but not without a family disappointed that their protector essentially behaved like a coward under heat. The black-eye Hutch’s son now bears is a temporary reminder of this failure, with Bob Odenkirk making subtle acknowledgments of the scar.

Now, even less acknowledged and viewed differently by his loved ones, Hutch visits his father (screen legend Christopher Lloyd who is also given some memorable moments of violence here by way of a shotgun), who is clearly a hardened veteran when it comes to physical confrontations. Perhaps with a death wish, Hutch borrows some belongings from his father to not only go looking for the thieves but trouble in general.

Boy, does he ever find it. Late at night on a bus, Hutch and a lone woman are graced with the juvenile presence of some drunk Russians giving off rape vibes while harassing the woman and the driver. Hutch removes the driver from the equation and then starts a brutal fight against all five or so, weaponizing the confined environment and turning blades against the degenerates. It’s lengthy, visceral, shot with clarity, and downright barbaric at times which I suppose is what’s to be expected from this filmmaking team of director Ilya Naishuller (known for first-person perspective projects including short films and the ambitious and underappreciated first-person shooter video game style movie Hardcore Henry ) and John Wick scribe Derek Kolstad.

Nobody is not just a story of a vigilante, though, as it becomes clear that Hutch has been hiding his experience from everyone. In other words, he’s actually a somebody, which is a logical revelation to explain away his combat prowess but one that sucks away the intriguing concept of an individual snapping from the fear of being unable to protect his family. It’s also not something I’m really interested in faulting the filmmakers for, because where they do take the story is still handled well, but the idea of an average Joe finding himself against a Russian criminal empire just for trying to do the right thing sounds far more tantalizing for this story and also a different kind of writing challenge for Derek Kolstad who is more or less just reworking John Wick here to be a bit more family-centric and cartoonish with its violence. There are also some of Ilya Naishuller’s own trademark touches, like a tracking shot following a tense tossing of a gun to another person during a chaotic struggle.

Speaking of Russian criminals, one of those men crippled on the bus happens to be the younger brother of the very powerful and influential Yulian (Russian star Alexey Serebryakov), a devoted collector of arts, enthusiastic singer (the soundtrack all around has a nice variety of modern tunes to excellent usage of Pat Benatar’s ‘Heartbreaker’ thematically and for excitement), and an ice-cold killer. Given his status and connections, it doesn’t take long for him and his band of career criminals to locate Hutch, endangering his whole family by association.

They trade blows to one another as we learn more about Hutch’s past, who at this point might as well be a sibling of John Wick. He has connections of his own to even the odds (acclaimed rapper RZA scores a triple headshot that will have you clapping in awe) and also booby-traps various buildings making way for some creatively gnarly deaths. Explosions feel like an untapped source for creative kills, and Nobody has some unforgettable tricks up its sleeve there.

The writing fails to make us care about whether this family will stay together or not (there are one or two dramatic scenes between Hutch and Becca that just don’t work), and no one really has anything to do aside from the men, although that’s the point. Even if I do have some qualms regarding glorifying the violence on display here and the questionable messaging that it’s the path to standing up for oneself and more fulfilling life, the film ditches any semblance of a character study it had. Nobody just gets more ludicrous as it goes along, with one rousing set piece after another consistently one-upping itself. Bob Odenkirk excels in the tough-guy role torn between restraining or indulging in violence. For the viewer, that choice is easier; celebrate the bloodbath that is Nobody .

Nobody (2021) Review

ME….. I’M NOBODY

The film genre of the action variety has seeing a plethora of various narratives being told that boasts plenty of action sequences that cater to the fascinations of brawling, fighting, and vigilante style grit. Within this genre is the subgenre-esque narrative constructs of a “one man army”; a tale of a person so lethal, dangerous, and efficient that they are able to dispatch an insane number of bad guys, beating the odds, and emerge mostly victorious by the time the film ends. These particular endeavors, which linger within the cinematic fictional realm, has mass appeal, with many flocking to see such production throughout the decades and captivating viewers with its ridiculous nature of action and violence. Such prime examples of this vigilantly action escapades include such films like Kill Bill: Volume I and II , the Die Hard franchise, the James Bond franchise, the Jason Bourne franchise, and the John Wick Franchise just to name a few. Now, Universal Pictures and director Ilya Naishuller present the latest film within this action subgenre with the release of the movie titled Nobody . Does the feature find a memorable hit within its “over-the-top” action or is it just another “run-of-the-mill” endeavor that amounts to nothing?

Hutch Mansell (Bob Odenkirk) is stuck in a rut. He’s a defeated “average joe” man that is living in a grinding routine of normalcy, working at a automobile manufacturing company by day and living as a father to his two children, Blake (Gage Munroe) and Abby (Paisley Cadorath), and husband to realtor Becca (Connie Nielsen) at night. Longing to break free of this normalcy, Hutch’s final straw comes when a home invasion comes for his family, he can’t back, and leaves the middle age man emasculated and frustrated. Reaching a boiling point and as son of a now retired FBI agent, David (Christopher Llyod) and surrounded by reminders of his failure, Hutch finally decides to push back, aiming to reclaim what was lost when a group of drunken thugs start harassing a teenage girl during a bus ride. Destroying the goons, Hutch fights back and unleashes his shadowy past as hitman, but one of the thugs happens to be the little brother of Yulian (Aleksey Serebryakov), a powerful Russian mobster currently in charge of warehouse-filling fortune in criminal money. Seeking revenge for Hutch’s violence, Yulian awakens the suburban warrior’s dark side, igniting a war of escalation between the two men.

THE GOOD / THE BAD

I will admit that the action film genre is one of my favorites. Well, I wouldn’t say it is my personal all-time favorite film genre out there, but it is definitely within my top three. As I mentioned above, the whole “one man army” narrative aspect is (to me) quite enjoyable; displaying that mindless yet entertaining yarn of that “over-the-top” ridiculousness. Yes, sometimes these types of movies can be a bit campy at times and totally unbelievable a few scenarios and sequences, but that is that type of action escapism that I am looking for. At least to my knowledge, the whole “one man army” subgenre began back in the 80s, which was fine, but really did shine in a lot of action movies during the 90s; a time where action films true made their mark on that entire decade. Even still, these movies have bleed into cinematic narrative well into the 2000s / 2010s era of motion pictures, with film project still being made to this day. All in all, whether you love them or not, the vigilante / one-man army are here to stay and (if you let them be) can be a whole lot of fun for some mindless popcorn action entertainment.

This brings me back to talking about Nobody , a 2021 action thriller feature and the latest endeavor within this vigilante “one man army” variety. After the release of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum , I (like many) was looking forward to seeing the next entry in the series. Of course, the road to seeing John Wick: Chapter 4 is a bit away. Thus, I turned to this particular movie, which I did hear every now and again on the various movie websites that I frequently visit. I’ve seeing the movie trailer for Nobody quite often as the preview is frequently played throughout the late 2020 / early 2021 season when I go to my local movie theater for my weekly “movie time” trip. From the trailer alone, it looked like it was going to be something similar to the John Wick movies, but less stylish and more self-aware of its premise. Still, for what it was worth, Nobody definitely had my interest. I did, however, didn’t immediately go to my movie theater when it was first released as I was a bit busy with my schedule. So, I decided to wait a couple of weeks after to check out this action movie. And what did I think of it? To be honest, it was fun movie. Despite lacking substance in its plot and characters, Nobody is mindless yet entertaining vigilante action romp that’s fun and worth checking out. It’s not the best vigilante “one man army” endeavor of late, but its still worth the price of admission.

Nobody is directed by Ilya Naishuller, who previous directed several video shorts ( The Medic , The Weekend: False Alarm , and Biting Elbows: For the Kill ) as well as the feature film Hardcore Henry in 2015. What’s perhaps the most interesting aspect of Naishuller’s directing this project is the simply fact that it is his second directorial project for a motion picture. Hardcore Henry was kind of an experimental type movie; showcasing some unique shots / sequences within its cinematic undertaking, but being a bit wonky at times. Thus, in terms of directing ability, Naishuller actually does a better job in handling Nobody from what he did in Hardcore Henry ; making Nobody the superior film of the two. Much like how the some of the John Wick movies were a bit more self-aware of its ridiculous nature of one-man army vigilante, Naishuller seems to approach Nobody in the same fashion; utilizing the over-the-top scenario to work in the feature’s favor and is self-aware of how silly yet action-packed the story of Hutch Mansell is. Because of this, Naishuller is allowed to jump right into the some of the violent aspect very quickly and does with quite a bit of amusement within how “larger than life” it intends to be; making the whole experience entertaining. Plus, I did like how Naishuller didn’t make the main protagonist character feel invincible. Yes, he was a deadly assassin and he knew what to do in a fight, but Naishuller made sure to make the character a bit more vulnerable and get it hurt, which I kind of liked.

Naturally, this brings up the film’s main attraction, which is (of course) the action. Much like in Hardcore Henry , Naishuller certainly does know how to stage an action sequence and does so in Nobody; effectively choregraphing fights of wide variety from brawling fisticuffs to gun shootouts that ultimately have that “tongue and cheek” type of amusement. Thus, the action sequences are bountiful and have that “over-the-top” entertainment that works within the feature’s favor. Lastly, the film does feel quite breezy. Sure, there are problems with the narrative structure and character development (more on that below), but, for the most part, Naishuller keeps the feature lean and moving forward…. never really feeling sluggish. Plus, the feature’s runtime is only 92 minutes (one hour and thirty-two minutes) long and keeps the movie moving at nice peace; getting in and out of the movie. All in all, I think that Naishuller did a pretty good job with Nobody as his sophomore feature length film.

In its technical presentation, Nobody is solid and holds up from onset to conclusion. Of course, the movie isn’t offering any type of lavish set-pieces or vast vista backdrop landscapes, but the film looks decent enough for this particular type of endeavor by displaying the right amount of background setting nuances and aspects throughout…. from Hutch’s suburban family home to Yulian’s nightclub dwelling and all various places in-between. Thus, Nobody’s background meets the industry standard for a movie in this subgenre. Where Nobody does excel within its presentation is within its various choreographed action sequences, which (as mentioned above) involve a wide variety brawling, gunfights, and close quarter combat that fits altogether quite nicely. Thus, the whole movement and staging of these sequences of events are top-notched and should be commended. Lastly, while the movie’s score, which was composed by David Buckley, is good and fits appropriately for most of the scenes, the really winner in the film’s movie category is in the feature’s soundtrack song selection, which utilizes several memorable songs in some of the movie’s action fighting sequences. Very unique and amusing at the same time…. kind of reminds me of how the Deadpool movies did it.

Unfortunately, despite its run romp of action gunslinging and engaging violent antics, Nobody doesn’t quite get over the hump and faces a few noticeable criticisms within its undertaking and execution. For starters, as I mentioned above, there is no denying that the movie’s setup / premise, has taken cues from the John Wick franchise…. for better or worse. There is no denying the fact that this particular movie draws heavily upon Keanu Reeve’s features of his Mr. Wick character and all the crazy “over-the-top” violence and fight he gets into. Again, as mentioned, that’s part of Nobody’s genetic make-up and I think that Naishuller wants to convey throughout the movie. That being said, the film does play out as a more “John Wick Lite” endeavor; offering a somewhat “watered down” version that contains a lot of similar beats, including the main protagonist “everyday life that he tries to live through, a catalyst event where the main character lets loose, a Russian mobster antagonist, and so on and so forth. You can see the familiarity and its quite clear that Naishuller is taking a lot cues and influence from the John Wick . It’s not a “beat-for-beat” clone of the 2014 film, but a lot of the nuances and aesthetics are unmistakable. This makes Nobody kind of feel like a poor man’s version of John Wick , whether one can see it or not, and creates a few problematic issues.

One of the issues is the story itself, which seems to skip around quite frequently. While the narrative yarn of Hutch Mansell’s journey is pretty straightforward, Nobody does do a lot of “skipping” through its story; causing a lot of time jumps within a few montage sequences. Sure, these sequences can be a but amusing at times (again, where the music song selection takes place), but this makes the film’s story feel a bit thin as if the Naishuller doesn’t have enough substance to make the movie feel whole. Naturally, Naishuller tries to circumnavigate this, but often makes the film feel a bit uneven, which results in having a few pacing issues and plot chunks missing….as if the final cut of Nobody has fragments missing. The film’s script, which was penned by Derek Kolstad, also plays a part in this point of criticism; finding the story written is a bit too simplistic as the setup for the bulk of Nobody feeling lacking. This results in making the story of Hutch Mansell, despite the self-awareness of the ridiculousness action / violence, rather limp and is quite thinly sketched; playing up the conventional nature of the action vigilante angle, but missing substance, especially when examining both story / character developments. Usually, action movies get a slight pass on this (i.e., more focus on the action spectacle rather than being narrative driven) and Nobody falls that notion to a “T”. That being said, I kind of wished that there was more substance in the movie and could’ve benefited the feature.

The cast in Nobody has some recognizable names attached to this movie, yet most are either underutilized on the project or given very little material to play around with. Still, it’s easy can see that most of these acting talents involved with the movie are having fun playing their respective roles and join in on “the fun” of participating in such a project. Who actually doesn’t fit this mold and who actually proves to be the best / memorable player in Nobody is actor Bob Odenkirk, who plays the central main protagonist character of Hutch Mansell. Known for his roles in Breaking Bad , Better Call Saul , and Incredibles 2 , Odenkirk isn’t exactly known for being a leading actor in the action genre as this is his somewhat first attempt sort of speak. Thankfully, he’s pretty good in the role of Hutch and gives the movie a solid leading man role from start to finish. Like the movie itself, Odenkirk knows what type of character performance is needed and plays off of that notion with Hutch; projecting the right amount of tough grit that’s a mixture and cheeky / snarky attitude (suppressed by Odenkirk’s subtle dialed-down demeanor) to make an amusing character. Of course, the substance writing behind Hutch is fairly straightforward, but can be overlooked by Odenkirk’s performance. In the end, Odenkirk’s portrayal of Hutch is what makes the movie fun and ends up being one of the most memorable character in Nobody .

While Odenkirk’s Hutch proves to be the best that the movie has to offer, actor Aleksey Serebryakov fares the worst as the film’s antagonist character of Yulian Kuznetsov, a wild Russian mobster who Hutch draws ire from. While I’m not saying that Serebryakov, who is known for his roles in Van Goghs , Cargo 200 , and McMafia , is a terrible actor or discrediting his acting ability, but he simply just too cartoon-ish and goofy to be taken seriously in the movie; making his portrayal of Yulian rather corny. Of course, both him and the script (as well as Naishuller’s direction) try to make the character an unstable individual; erratic in his behavior and making for an unpredictable main bad guy. However, it all comes off as a bit wonky; making Yulian a villainous caricature than a sizeable threat. Plus, the character is plays up the tiresome cliché tropes of being a Russian kingpin mobster, which makes Yulian rather formulaic and uninteresting.

Who fares better are several of the supporting players in the movie, with a special interest coming from seasoned veteran actor Christopher Llyod as David Mansell, Hutch’s elderly father / retired FBI agent. Much like what I said about Llyod, who is known for his roles in the Back to the Future trilogy as well as Who Framed Roger Rabbit , and Addams Family , in my review for the film Senior Moment , Lloyd has a had a great and illustrious career in Hollywood. Although, his acting appearance have been limited of late due to his age. So, I was definitely pleased to see Llyod acting again in this movie. Personally, he was great as Hutch’s father and definitely made a memorable supporting role in the film as David. To me, Llyod’s involvement in this feature as the whole unique self-aware fun of the feature….and, for one, I liked it. Also, in this category, is rapper / actor RZA who plays Harry, Hutch’s reclusive half-brother. In comparison and of these two, RZA’s Harry gets shortchanged as his screen time is more limited and is more heard than seeing throughout Nobody . However, he does make for a bit lasting impression than most.

Sadly, most of rest side characters in the movie, including actress Connie Nielsen ( Gladiator and Wonder Woman ) as Hutch’s wife Beca Mansell, actor Gage Munroe ( Hotel Transylvania: The Series and Brotherhood ) as Hutch’s son Blake Mansell, actress Paisley Cadorath (who makes her acting debut with this movie) as Hutch’s daughter Abby Mansell, actor Colin Salmon ( Arrow and Mortal Engines ) as Hutch’s former government handler simply known as “The Barber”, actor Aleksandr Pal ( Hardcore Henry and Rag Union ) as Yulian’s younger brother Teddy Kuznetsov, actor Michael Ironside ( Starship Troopers and Total Recall ) as Hutch’s father-in-law / boss Eddie Williams, and actor Billy MacLellan ( The Expanse and The Silence ) as Eddie’s son and Hutch’s brother-in-law Charlie Williams, are woefully underutilized in the movie. The acting talents of these supporting players are good, but the neither the film’s direction nor the feature’s script doesn’t give much way for these particular players just material to work with; rendering them rather bland and utterly forgettable, despite a few having small importance scenes in the film.

FINAL THOUGHTS

After walking away from a life of violence and getting fed up with the meekly existence of everyday life, Hutch Mansell unleashes his inner rage and takes on a Russian mobster and his enforcers in the movie Nobody . Director Ilya Naishuller’s latest film takes a fun spin on the vigilantly action subgenre; projecting a better balance of subversive action and comedy in the film’s proceedings and pitting an amusing concept that seems more of hit than a flop. While the movie struggles in character development, setup concept, and an unforgettable antagonist, the film hits its stride with its over-the-top action and violence throughout, its funny usage of music, Odenkirk’s performance, and the feature’s self-aware of not taking itself too seriously. Personally, this movie was good. Yes, one can clearly see the similarities to the John Wick franchise and some of the feature’s missteps are rough around the edges, but the presented cinematic package of what is offered was (at face value) fun and amusing. Thus, my recommendation for this film would be a fun “recommendation”, especially fans of the vigilantly action subgenre endeavors or something to pass the time until John Wick Chapter 4 comes out. The film’s ending leaves the narrative open for a possible continuation for a Nobody potential franchise, which I definitely can see being worked, but its still a bit too early to call in my opinion. Even if one doesn’t materialize, Nobody stands as a fun yet flawed guilty pleasure of the vigilantly action variety; drumming up entertainment needs within its violent acts of a “one man” army nature.

Nobody - movie review.

Move over John Wick, there’s a new badass on the cinematic landscape. And his name is Hutch Mansell. Though a seemingly typical suburban dad living on a cul-de-sac with a beautiful wife and two kids – basically a nobody, don’t take his mild-mannered everyman disposition at face value. You will regret it.

That’s exactly what happens to a couple of low-rent burglars one night when they break into his house while the family is asleep. Set into motion by the event is a series of missteps, poor decisions, and mistaken identities that ultimately lead to the reawakening of Hutch’s dark secrets and long-dormant instincts. Revealed is a past that is anything but of man who is coasting through life.

The stakes begin to ratchet up as Hutch gets closer to tracking down the hoodlums who broke into his house. The trail eventually leads to a Russian crime syndicate and its dangerous leader named Yulian (Russian actor Alexey Serebryakov ).

Hutch is played by Bob Odenkirk , of comedy fame and more recently as Saul Goodman from TV’s Breaking Bad and its offshoot Better Call Saul . Things on the home front aren’t going so well for Hutch. Wife Becca ( Connie Nielsen, Wonder Woman ) hasn’t shown interest in quite some time, teenage son, Blake ( Gage Munroe, Brotherhood) is unimpressed by his father, and a mundane job in a tool and die factory are wearing the man down to a nub. He doesn’t help himself, however when during the home invasion he refuses to take action against the thugs. Even the police officer on the scene tells Hutch he did the right thing, but that he would have done it differently.

But something inside Hutch is about to change.

With all its moving parts and flamboyant characters, this is a very difficult film to pull off effectively, and not handled correctly, could end up a total train wreck. Yes, it’s nasty. Yes, it’s dirty and super silly with way over the top ridiculous moments, but Naishuller ’s vision works perfectly for what it is and Nobody is a total blast from beginning to end. It plays out sort of like a Korean thriller driven by flawed characters and dark themes more so than by story points or narrative devices. It is well deserving of its R rating, and its extreme violence may be a much for some to handle. But the film never takes itself too seriously, and neither should you.

Nobody is a mess of a film that really shouldn’t work as well as it does. But the excellent cast – including a brilliant turn by Odenkirk that puts Keanu Reeves on notice, and a fantastically choreographed fight scene in a city bus between Hutch and a band of no fewer than five semi-armed hooligans is quite impressive and worth the price of admission alone.

There’s plenty here to love with numerous action set pieces, shocking moments of gore and violence, and even a bit of heart and emotion on a few occasions that elevate the film above your standard revenge thriller fare. Though it was late on the scene due to Covid delays, the stage is set for the next action thriller franchise. Count me in.

MPAA Rating: R for strong violence and bloody images, language throughout and brief drug use.

Parents need to know that Nobody is an action crime thriller about Hutch Mansell ( Bob Odenkirk ), a suburban husband/father who's pushed to the brink after a home invasion. Looking for an outlet for his rage, Hutch ends up taking down a group of young men who are out for a night of partying, putting them all in the hospital and near death. His targets aren't portrayed as great guys -- they drive under the influence, and they make an inappropriate comment to a young woman who's sitting alone on a bus -- but their behavior doesn't warrant Hutch's vicious attack. Violence is graphic and extreme, escalating as the film progresses, with deaths getting more over-the-top and gory. Think shootings, stabbings, punches, bombings, and more. And so many guns: Nearly every male character is packing a weapon or blowing someone away, with pieces ranging from a .38 special to an Uzi. (Toxic masculinity, anyone?) The villain snorts cocaine, and heroic characters drink. Language is strong, with "f--k" as the word of choice. There's a quick glimpse of BDSM photos.

Graphic, detailed depictions of extreme violence

What's the story.

In NOBODY, Hutch Mansell ( Bob Odenkirk ); his wife, Becca ( Connie Nielsen ); and their kids, Blake ( Gage Munroe ) and Sammy ( Paisley Cadorath ), have a peaceful suburban life. But after a home robbery, Hutch has a violent awakening and goes on a rampage to protect himself and his family from a dangerous Russian gangster.

Is It Any Good?

Odenkirk's winky "Dadsploitation" film feels destined for cult status. It's about a man who feels emasculated by the mundanity of suburban married life. After his home is invaded and his teen son beaten in the mayhem, he reclaims the throne that his testerone seems to demand with force and might -- or at least, that's how some sympathetic viewers may see it. But while the situation is played out seriously, there's an underlying dark comedic element that's in on the joke; it's almost but not quite parody. It's not funny , per se, but some odd, quirky moments will manifest as quotable lines -- the kind that show up on T-shirts.

Part of Nobody 's weird wackiness is the increasing creativity of the violence. What starts as mesmerizing kick-butt takedowns morphs into cartoon violence on par with Wile E. Coyote cartoons. It seems meant to make viewers guffaw while still being bloody disgusting. The whole endeavor is evidence that toxic masculinity is alive and well, even if it now sometimes comes with a wink and a smile. Part of it is the unabashed embrace of two macho clichés: a classic sports car and a cache of guns (which, but of course, end up not being as effective as two fists). The film is really kind of ridiculous, and it knows it. That's what makes it fun.

Talk to Your Kids About ...

Families can talk about the violence in Nobody . Does its over-the-top nature lessen its impact? Or does the sheer volume make it impossible to ignore? How does the impact compare to that of movies with more realistic violence?

How does this compare to other "dad vigilante" films you've seen? Some examples are Taken , Die Hard , and Death Wish .

Discuss Hutch's attack on the men on the bus. Do you think they deserved what he did to them? How does the story work to make viewers feel OK with the fact that Hutch hurt them so severely? Did he have other options?

What is "toxic masculinity"? Do you think it's on display in Nobody ? Why is it important for male characters to show emotion on-screen and not rely solely on aggression to solve problems?

What elements are intended to show that this film has a satirical edge?

Nobody soundtrack: A definitive guide to all songs in the movie

Nobody was released on March 26, 2021. The movie is an action-packed thriller featuring Bob Odenkirk's unexpected metamorphosis of Hutch Mansell. A mild-mannered family man, Hutch leads a pretty normal life. His suppressed violent past comes back to light when his house is invaded, exposing his lethal abilities.

The film is directed by Ilya Naishuller and designed by John Wick franchise creator Derek Kolstad. The movie has intense action and dark humor, and the storyline draws viewers in.

From vintage masterpieces to contemporary songs, the Nobody soundtrack has various musical styles to accentuate the story. It combines Americana classics, rock and roll hits, and even Russian synth-pop, creating a unique cinematic experience. With original works like Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 in B Flat Minor , the soundtrack of Nobody features famous tracks like Nina Simone's Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood and Pat Benatar's Heartbreaker .

This comprehensive guide to all the songs in the movie offers a close-up view of every track when it first surfaces on screen and the story's relevance of each one.

Exploring every song in Nobody

1) Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood by Nina Simone (1964) : This Simone song opens the movie in a calm, bloodied police interrogation room and introduces Hutch Mansell.

Near the end of the film , the song recurs to make Hutch's trip a full-circle point. This song catches the tone for Hutch's metamorphosis and the fundamental conflict of the story.

2) Heartbreaker by Pat Benatar (1979) : Heartbreaker features as Hutch's neighbor leaves, mocking him for his inaction during the home invasion. The song comes back when Hutch pilfers the neighbor's car and sets off a high-octane chase sequence. This selection of music highlights Hutch's growing irritation and change from passive to aggressive.

3) Life Is a B*tch by Luther Allison (1984) : As Hutch sets out to track the intruders into his house, this song emphasizes his will. The bluesy track captures his inner conflict and developing will to recover his former self.

4) DVIGAI POPOY by Mandarinki (2012) : The Mandarinski song plays on a tense bus trip, preparing the audience for a violent fight scene. The Russian lyrics highlight the worldwide inspirations in the soundtrack, adding a cultural layer to the movie.

5) I've Gotta Be Me by Steve Lawrence (1967) : When Hutch chooses to accept his violent past, I've Gotta Be Me marks a turning point for his character. The lyrics speak to his acceptance of his actual self, adding an element of dark humor to the scene .

6) Buhgalter (The Auditor) by Kombintsya (1991) : This particular song shows Hutch's unrelenting hunt of his foes following a brutal bus fight. Nobody has surreal and unforgettable moments from the sharp contrast between the lively tempo and the violence.

7) Serye Glaza by Natasha Korolyova (1992) : The track introduces Yulian Kuznetsov, the film 's primary villain. The song plays as Yulian performs in a nightclub, a scene showcasing his eccentricity. This track helps establish Yulian's complex personality and role as a formidable antagonist.

8) Piano Concerto No. 1 in B Flat Minor by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1875) : Representing Hutch's return to his old self, this song represents him as he recovers his vitality and focus. Complementing the raw violence of the fight scenes , the classical work gives the action a level of refinement.

9) I Told Myself a Lie by Clyde McPhatter (1954) : Reflecting Hutch's inner doubts and the moral uncertainty of his actions, McPhatter's track captures his gathered data on Yulian. The song reveals Hutch's battle with the results of his decisions, giving his character in Nobody emotional complexity.

10) I Won't Give You Up by Almost Here (2017) : As Yulian's goons surround Hutch's family, this song prepares the audience for a tense dinner scene. The modern song heightens the suspense by adding urgency and peril to the moment.

11) Funky Music Sho Nuff Turns Me On by Edwin Starr (1971) : Edwin's song in Nobody opens an escape scene as Hutch breaks out from captivity. As one of the best sequences in the movie, the funky rhythm energizes it.

12) Straighten Up and Fly Right by Dean Hudson (1944) : The song in Nobody reveals Hutch's backstory as he gently confronts his rivals in his house. The scene gains a layer of irony from the vintage song, contrasting with the bloody consequences.

13) What A Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong (1967) : Played as Hutch burns his house down, Louis Armstrong's song marks the end of his domestic life. The famous song emphasizes the finality of his choice, giving the devastation poignancy.

14) The Impossible Dream by Andy Williams (1971): Hutch brings down Yulian, representing his triumph over apparently somber circumstances, as The Impossible Dream plays. The triumphant attitude of the song reflects Hutch's success in conquering his foes.

15) You'll Never Walk Alone by Gerry & The Pacemakers (1963) : This song highlights the friendship among Hutch, his father, and his brother, complementing the scene of the last battle. Highlighting the link among the characters, this song in Nobody delivers an emotional depth.

16) Let the Good Times Roll (Feel So Good) by Bunny Sigler (1967) : Celebrating Hutch's triumph, the song in Nobody spans the closing credits. The lively song leaves the audience on a high note, reflecting the movie's dark humor and action-packed finale.

Nobody presents a well-chosen range of songs to accentuate the intense action and character development. Every song is carefully selected to further the narrative; hence, it is a necessary component of the movie.

The film crafts an unforgettable viewing experience long after the credits roll by fusing music with action.

‘Eden’: Sydney Sweeney Gives Birth While Fighting Canines in Survival Thriller

STARS OF THE FLIES

Based on real-life events, Ron Howard’s latest pits a starry cast—including Sweeney, Jude Law, and Ana de Armas—against each other in a “Lord of the Flies”-esque island face-off.

Nick Schager

Entertainment Critic

Emma McIntyre/WireImage

TORONTO, Canada—Company breeds misery in Eden , Ron Howard ’s based-on-real-events thriller about a group of disparate souls whose quest for freedom, rebirth, and redemption is stymied by their base instincts and proximity to each other.

Based on the conflicting reports of those who survived this astonishing saga, the director’s grungy, edgy affair—premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival —is part biblical cautionary tale, part Lord of the Flies nightmare. Never dull if also only intermittently surprising, it’s another of the director’s sturdy star-studded genre efforts.

In the winter of 1932, Heinz Wittmer (Daniel Brühl), his wife Margret ( Sydney Sweeney ), and his son from a first marriage, Harry (Jonathan Tittel), arrive on the Galapagos isle of Floreana. There, they intend to live alongside, and by the teachings of, Dr. Friedrich Ritter ( Jude Law ) and his wife Dore (Vanessa Kirby), who relocated to this inhospitable rock in the middle of the ocean as a rejection of their native Germany and its increasingly fascist society.

Back home, Friedrich has become a media sensation due to the daring path he’s set before himself, all of it driven by his toil on a manifesto that expresses his philosophy for a new world order. Friedrich believes that the meaning of life is pain, because, “In pain, we find truth. And in truth, salvation.” He and Dore practice what they preach, with Friedrich having pulled out all his teeth to avoid infection and Dore struggling with multiple sclerosis.

Friedrich and Dore have settled on Floreana to figure out how to remake civilization, and they don’t take kindly to Heinz and his clan, who they send to live in barren hillside caves located beside one of two pitiful water sources. Though they assume that this will make quick work of the interlopers, it doesn’t, since Heinz is an industrious true-believer who puts his mind to transforming the landscape and, with it, his fortunes.

Margret is initially aghast at her new reality. With few options, however, she commits to helping her husband haul supplies, build their domicile, and tend to their garden. Against all odds—including packs of wild dogs that decimate their canned food supplies—they’re soon living relatively comfortably, complete with edible crops and a corralled cow that produces milk.

“What were you expecting—paradise?” jokes the ship captain who drops them on Floreana’s beach, but Heinz and Margret tame their environs better than anyone could have imagined. This is largely without the help of Friedrich, who’s growing envious of their successes. Before Fridrich and Heinz can develop anything resembling an actual rivalry, more serious trouble appears in the person of Eloise Bosquet de Wagner Wehrhorn ( Ana de Armas ), who claims the title “Baroness” and makes her grand entrance on the shoulders of her lovestruck engineer (Felix Kammerer) and hunky bodyguard (Toby Wallace) like she’s Cleopatra reincarnated.

Frolicking in the water with her two boy toys, thereby stoking one of their resentment, Eloise wants to build a grand hotel on the beach that she’s going to call “Hacienda Paradiso.” Assuming that the island’s current residents will be a thorn in her side, she begins pitting Friedrich and Heinz against one another.

Eloise is the serpent in Eden ’s figurative garden, and her conduct is the catalyst for the calamity to follow. Heedlessly running through her canned stockpiles, she has her underlings ransack Heinz’s home at the exact moment that his wife, alone and pregnant, goes into labor. Margret’s delivery while being menaced by wild dogs, culminating with her growling with animalistic ferocity at her canine attackers, is equal parts harrowing and goofy. It’s the finest sequence in the film, largely because it feels so unhinged and primal.

Yet despite its over-the-topness, Howard prevents his material from devolving into silliness. De Armas is deliberately campy as dragon lady con artist Eloise, wielding her sexuality as both a lure and a weapon. Her flamboyant sexiness provides the proceedings with a requisite spark, and clashes well with Friedrich’s fanatically punishing lifestyle and Heinz and Margret’s stern assiduousness.

Sweeney’s Margret is this story’s nominal protagonist, but the actress is never wholly convincing as a dowdy and earnest young mother; no matter her modest dress and speech, her eyes have a fieriness that’s only fitting at story’s end.

Law and Kirby, on the contrary, exude a zealotry and bitterness—toward their neighbors and each other—that’s suitably grimy and jagged. Their dynamic grows more charged as rations start running perilously low and Eloise orchestrates underhanded schemes to sow seeds of dissention. By the time Friedrich is madly banging away at the same typewriter key, like some shirtless island variation on Jack Nicholson ’s The Shining paterfamilias, doom has become an inevitability for at least some of these foolhardy folks.

Howard gradually builds menace through sideways glances, cutting remarks, testy confrontations, and snapshots of hawks catching prey in their talons and crabs crawling over skeletons. Mathias Herndl’s sunburnt cinematography paints Floreana as an outpost of harsh sand, sharp rock, and tough soil, its desolation at once breathtaking and intimidating.

Eden doesn’t strain its Old Testament undercurrents, and it wisely spreads its condemnation around. The film is, at heart, a portrait of the invariable schisms that come from asking strangers to coexist, and in that regard, it’s a scathing indictment of Friedrich’s ideas, which are eventually revealed to be sub-Nietzschean notions that are predicated on (and justified by) the unnecessary mess he’s made for himself and his compatriots.

Eden is too unadventurous to drum up much suspense, and it never wholly resolves the tension between its characters’ daft choices and its conclusion’s quasi-celebration of Margret. Nonetheless, its straightforward approach—replete with convincing production and set design—keeps it consistently compelling.

It’s also the beneficiary of Law and de Armas’ considerable star power, he tapping into Friedrich’s fervor and the charisma that makes his ambitious plans so alluring, and she a hurricane of sex, cunning, and shady villainy. Thanks to them, the film proves an engrossing story of individual dreams and manias, communal frictions and failings, and the fact that sometimes, Hell really is other people.

Jharrel Jerome Dishes on Joining the "Incredible" World of the Spider-Verse Franchise

When it comes to the modern comic book genre conversation, there's no pair of films as beloved as Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse . This animated franchise has opened up the famous web-head to an endless number of possibilities. Last year’s Across the Spider-Verse took the multiverse concept even further, introducing the massive Spider-Society. However, the Spider-Man variant that really made the audience's jaw drop is Miles G. Morales , who was a part of the second Spider-Verse film’s cliffhanger ending. Now the villainous Miles’ voice actor Jharrel Jerome has spoken about what it means to be a part of the Spider-Man franchise.

While talking with Collider’s Steven Weintraub at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) for his new film, Unstoppable , Jerome was asked what it was like being a part of Spider-Verse and what it meant to him to be in a franchise that has been so beloved. “It’s [been] a dream since I was a child to just be a part of that world in any way. Miles Morales is a specific, character as a Dominican from New York, that I've always dreamed of embodying and portraying.” He would continue on saying:

“So just to even play the voice in the world that they're creating is so incredible because what it's doing for my people and our people back in New York — Dominicans, Puerto Ricans — it's really shifting the culture for us in the mainstream in terms of animation and the superhero genre. For me to be a part of it is an honor.”

The actor would finish by praising the franchise stating:

“Yeah, they're also just kickass films. Also, some people are like, ‘My son loves you’, or, ‘My daughter loves you.’ Most of the stuff I've done has been very sad and for adults, and so it's cool to kind of expand the fan base a bit and have kids like, ‘Oh my god, I love you!’ Even though they lying because they didn't see my face.”

The ‘Spider-Verse’ Web Slings On

In the last half-decade, the Spider-Verse films have been some of the most creative, visually stunning, and character-rich adventures of the animated genre. Across the Spider-Verse was celebrated as one of the best films of 2023 because of its animated flare and epic scale, but also because Miles Morales aka Spider-Man’s hero’s journey remained the North Star of its crazy multiverse shenanigans. In the second film, Miles was still learning how to balance being Spider-Man and a normal high school kid. However, the biggest revelation of the film was that the spider that bit him wasn't meant for him, but for Miles G. Morales of Earth-42 .

Miles wasn't “meant” to become Spider-Man. That not only throws his entire sense of worth on its head, it also causes Miles G. Morales to take up the mantle of The Prowler in his universe. Where Spider-Verse left off, Miles was trapped on Earth-42, captured by his variant, and the first film’s team made up of Spider-Gwen , Spider-Man Noir , and Peter B. Parker set out to save him . Jerome was only in the Across the Spider-Verse for a short amount of time, but it's going to be exciting to see where the franchise takes the character in its final chapter .

When Does ‘Beyond the Spider-Verse’ Release?

Beyond the Spider-Verse was originally set to release earlier this year, but those plans were changed after Across the Spider-Verse was released last year. Beyond the Spider-Verse doesn't have a new release date yet . However, while Marvel fans wait for more web-tastic updates , you can stream Into the Spider-Verse on Hulu and Across the Spider-Verse on Netflix.
