Flicks, Daniel Rutledge
Nobody will definitely be one of 2021’s most enjoyable films. This is a gleefully violent action-comedy that strikes a masterful tone and consistently delivers thrills for its lean 92-minute running time.

Nobody
Action-thriller from the writer of John Wick and the director of Hardcore Henry stars Better Call Saul's Bob Odenkirk as an unassuming family man whose appetite for violence is reawakened after a home invasion. Connie Nielsen, RZA and Christopher Lloyd co-star.

Caveman bullshit made with style and wit, qualities that extend from its screenplay to its performances to its staging.

This giddy approach to action in place of story has held appeal ever since Wiley E. Coyote chased the Road Runner off a cliff, and "Nobody" lingers in a ludicrous plane that works in bite-sized pieces.

A canny vehicle for Odenkirk, the unlikeliest star of a righteous macho bloodbath since Dustin Hoffman got his bear trap on in "Straw Dogs."

The film offers chaos by the yard with no real stakes or emotional reverberations.

Taking itself much less seriously than the Taken series and its predecessors, it's a wish-fulfillment romp just as ludicrous as any of them but more fun than most.

Odenkirk's presence does give the film a conflicted and darkly comic center. Let's hope more machine-gun antics are in his future.

Yes, it's gruesome and violent, but it's also wickedly funny and surprisingly poignant.
