Craving a night out at the movies? Nobody 2 is showing in cinemas now, and if you enjoyed the first film, you won’t want to miss the sequel.
Bob Odenkirk returns as suburban husband, father and workaholic assassin Hutch Mansell in the new chapter to Nobody, the hit 2021 bare-knuckle action-thriller that opened at number one at the U.S. box office.
Four years after he inadvertently took on the Russian mob, Hutch remains $30 million in debt to the criminal organization and is working it off with an unending string of hits on international thugs.
Much as he likes the slam-bang action of his “job,” Hutch and his wife Becca (International Emmy nominee Connie Nielsen) find themselves overworked and drifting apart. So, they decide to take their kids (Gage Munroe, Paisley Cadorath) on a short getaway to Wild Bill’s Majestic Midway and Waterpark, the one and only place where Hutch and his brother Harry (Grammy and Emmy nominee RZA) went on a vacation as kids.
With Hutch’s dad (Emmy winner Christopher Lloyd) in tow, the family arrives in the small tourist town of Plummerville (“Plummerville is Summerville!”), eager for some fun in the sun.
But when a minor encounter with some town bullies yanks the family into the crosshairs of a corrupt theme-park operator (John Ortiz; Fast and Furious franchise, Bumblebee) and his shady sheriff (Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Colin Hanks), Hutch finds himself the focus of the most unhinged, blood-thirsty crime boss he (or anyone) has ever encountered (Emmy winning and Oscar® nominated screen icon, Sharon Stone).

Our editor attended the press screening of Nobody 2 and had this to say:
“Nobody 2 is the perfect combination of action and comedy. The fighting scenes are well-balanced with clever dialogue and genuinely funny moments.
This movie is like a blend of National Lampoon’s Summer Vacation and John Wick. It has the wholesome family vacation elements (balanced with a little bit of drama), juxtaposed against intense fighting scenes, edge-of-your-seat thrills and a little bit of gore. The light-hearted moments come at just the right times, saving the film from being too action-packed and serious.
I really enjoyed the soundtrack and it was visually beautiful, especially when the amusement park is lit up at night and you get to see the fireworks and twinkly lights amidst the fight scenes.
If you enjoyed Nobody, you’ll love this sequel. Bob Odenkirk is simply brilliant. He is so convincing in his character and I love how he switches from lethal assassin to dedicated family man.
After watching Nobody, I didn’t necessarily see a sequel coming, but I enjoyed this, and I think it stayed true to the original film while offering something new. It’s definitely worthy of a night at the cinema.” Anien – Editor
