Nobody (Bob Odenkirk)

pixelburp · 11-12-2020 5:57pm #1

Of all the actors I might have pegged for that late-career action renaissance, Bob Odenkirk wouldn't have been high on the list. Yet, here we are; the action looks solid and with David Leitch producing seems more genetically linked with John Wick, favouring longer takes during its chaos.

Looks like enjoyable trash. Enjoyed the scene of him strolling around with a MP7 and painting. .

Where John Wick was a dog person, Nobody seems to be more of a cat person. The kitten with its head in a can of cat food is a nice touch.

Bob Odenkirk says he trained for two years:

Do not call 911, better call Saul

Massive meh. Starts out like a Death Wish clone, ends up like a John Wick / A History of Violence clone.

Have you seen this. I thought it wasn't released until 2021.

Based on the trailer I meant.

odenkirk totally miscast on paper but hes a great actor and the whole effort might be so preposterous , its actually worth seeing

pixelburp · 08-02-2021 10:57am

Not much new via a SuperBowl trailer, but there's a better sense of the tone anyyway:

This is out in the US on Friday and seems to be reviewing very strongly. Doesn't sound like it'll be anything revolutionary, especially given it's penned by the writer on John Wick and the trailer's clearly vibing those films, but still praised for being a solid, crunchy action film

Thelonious Monk · 25-03-2021 11:36pm

Exactly the kind of film I'd like to see these days, mindless escapism. Wont be available for streaming for a few weeks though.

CiDeRmAn · 26-03-2021 9:42am

There needs to be a David Cross cameo in there somewhere...
Maybe covered in blue paint...

Agent Coulson · 27-03-2021 5:53pm

Looking forward to this now that the reviews seem really good.

I nice popcorn murder death kill movie is just what the doctor ordered.

That was a fantastic fun 86 minutes of murder death kill.

Great to see Michael Ironside.

Mid credit scene.

Really enjoyed that.

Nothing new in it ,just great fun.

another mass shooting in the States today...is it any wonder with this trigger happy revenge porn being made (and of course their crazy gun laws)

I’m sure there’s some obscure arthouse ****e that would be more suitable for your delicate sensibilities than this movie. Revenge porn ffs, it’s an action movie :rolleyes:

Don't forget the rap music and video games.

pixelburp · 16-04-2021 1:16pm

There is an epidemic of mass shooting in the US, and as the January hillbilly krystalnacht showed, plenty of weekend warriors who like to cosplay in their military surplus gear, I'm just not sure where Hollywood entertainment sits in the conversation. Movies like Nobody only really work in America, where gun ownership is as common as owning a car, but there are deeper problems at play than worrying if said films are part of the issue. I don't think they are.

Another record season for hurricanes... it it any wonder with our new gay marriage laws (and of course global climate change).

At least you're half right. :pac:

Came here for reviews of the film

Find a load of fcuking nonsense about movies causing mass shootings instead

mr j tayto · 16-04-2021 6:23pm

Watched about 40 minutes of it earlier, thought it was absolutely rubbish, but each to their own.

17-04-2021 12:08am

Enjpyable fare, funnier than John Wick, but with about the same number of Russians getting f**ked up.

Snake Plisken · 17-04-2021 12:20am

I enjoyed it! Great soundtrack great set pieces and over the top violence!
I'm hoping Gene/Jimmy/Saul goes all "Nobody" in the final season of Better Call Saul!

Really? I watched half it last night. But got taken away from it.
Can't wait to get back to it tonight. I thought it was riveting.
And I'm not into just outright action and violence for the sake of it - i.e. like John Wick, Extraction etc.
But I thought there was something more engaging to Nobody, at a more emotional level. And love the soundtrack.
Going to try to sneak in the the remaining 45 mins this afternoon - will have to ship off the wife and kids for the afternoon.

Ash.J.Williams · 17-04-2021 11:30am

My 9am movie

loved it plenty of laughs

17-04-2021 11:31am

Slow opening but overall really enjoyed it. I was surprised that Odenkirk was able to pull off the action so well.

I need likeable characters and nobody has that

noel50 · 17-04-2021 12:26pm

loved it dark comedy just a lot of fun

ShineOn7 · 17-04-2021 6:26pm

If you liked Taken (and I loved it), is this your kinda film?

As in, it's Taken but with a dark comedy edge?

Jaysus I got no taken vibes

More of john wick style parallel universe comedy ultra violent action

dreamers75 · 17-04-2021 8:33pm

Enjoyed that popcorn movie.

It definitely has that comedic feel to it especially at the end.

18-04-2021 12:06am

Look it's totally preposterous but has more charm than John Wick.

Good mindless escapism movie.

6.5 / 10

gmisk · 18-04-2021 12:30pm

I absolutely loved this.
It was a riot.
John wick but lighter.
Bob odenkirk top notch as usual.

that fight in the bus absolutely loved it!

8/10

gmisk · 18-04-2021 12:46pm

Oh one issue

the lasagne looked absolutely horrible!

ShineOn7 · 18-04-2021 6:13pm

A very solid, fun, taught popcorn film you'll only watch once, and that's enough

If Will Smith, Tom Cruise and Chris Pratt etc are A Level actors in the eyes of Hollywood studios, then I think Odenkirk just became a go to B Level mainstream movie star

Hopefully so

I'd take a sequel to Nobody or the talked about crossover film with John Wick with no issues

The 6.5/10 above sounds about right

I blame that on Americans... Unless it's the Sopranos you're really not gonna get something as important as

lasagne

right...

Ash.J.Williams · 18-04-2021 7:31pm

The biggest laugh from me was the introduction of a certain character everything about their entrance was perfect , the moves and the clothes...perfectly executed!

You know who I’m talking about

I want the jacket and shoes

Has any one seen BOSS LEVEL. Utter mindless ****e but i liked it.

The Raging Bile Duct · 19-04-2021 11:36am

Just watched this last night - great fun. Up there with Boss Level and Guns Akimbo for good, mindless fun. Really enjoyed Bob Odenkirk in the lead.

Mrcaramelchoc · 19-04-2021 11:39am

Very enjoyable movie. Bob does well in it and so does an 82!! year old Christopher lloyd.
Pretty good soundtrack as well.

enjoyable 90 minutes or so. Was going to say like an older generation John Wick, but the two lead actors are nearly the same age :pac:
