Nadie 2

Bob Odenkirk does not get enough love when it comes to roles outside of Saul Goodman. This man is the writer of the famous Matt Foley SNL sketch so of course he can do funny. I watched the first Nobody just for fun back when it came out, plus I wanted to go through Bob's filmography. My hubby and I enjoyed it. We like action and we don't take movies too seriously. We just like to be entertained. And Bob always does this.

We just went and saw the sequel and we were entertained again. I personally couldn't stand watching Sharon Stone as that bat-crazy idiot of a boss. Now, I loved her back in the day (I was a teen in the 90s) and I love seeing women in strong roles, but she was just annoying. Saying the F bomb every sentence didn't make her look tough. It made her look like she was TRYING to be tough and that's a big difference. She just couldn't act.

Colin Hanks was disappointing as well. I thought he was a better actor than that, too, but oh well.

I liked everything else and I'm ready for Becca's back story because she held it down, too.

Can't wait to see what Bob will do next!

Loved the first movie; it was unexpectedly great. This one was just mediocre. The action and fight scenes were pretty good and fun to watch. The story line could have been better, but the absolutely terrible acting from Sharon Stone, in all honesty, completely ruined the entire movie for me. I'm not sure if they were looking for a surprise big name for this role, but they completely missed the mark on casting.

Timo Tjahjanto's Nobody 2 is a relentless, bone-crunching sequel that doubles down on the first film's blend of suburban angst and bloody mayhem. This time, Bob Odenkirk's Hutch Mansell is on vacation, which of course becomes a backdrop for an insane series of creatively staged, over-the-top fight sequences. Tjahjanto, known for his work on action films like The Night Comes for Us, brings a distinct, stylized flair to the violence, turning the tranquil setting of a small town and an amusement park into a series of deadly playgrounds. The plot is thin and largely exists to string together these incredible set pieces, but that's not a criticism-the movie knows exactly what it is. It's a joyful, unpretentious action romp. The action is more outlandish and even more graphic than the original, with a dark, cartoonish sense of humor that differentiates it from the more grounded, noirish tone of the first film.

Some critics have noted that the sequel loses some of the original's gritty charm in favor of a more comedic, outlandish style, but praise the film for being an entertaining and satisfying follow-up.

Is it worth watching? If you're a fan of the first film and are looking for a fun, fast-paced action movie that doesn't take itself too seriously, then absolutely.

I just got back from seeing it at the theaters

The movie, overall, matches the original, which is a big accomplishment for a sequel: the original will always have the distinction of being the first, and with this particular premise, a huge hindrance is that he can't really be a Nobody twice. Part 1 could build up the moment where the audience and supporting characters find out who he is, but the franchise can't replicate that plot device in sequels. By Part 2, he's a Somebody.

Still, though, the movie surpasses the original in 2 areas. Firstly, I think that the comedy in Part 2 surpasses the comedy in Part 1. There were numerous instances in Part 2 that legitimately had me laughing, and I'm not easy to please on comedy (e.g. I found the 2025 Naked Gun movie to be unfunny). To say what parts had me laughing might ruin those parts, so I won't say. Secondly, I think that Sharon Stone makes a better, more memorable antagonist than the Russian guy in Part 1.

The movie's other positives are basically the same positives that apply to Part 1. Bob Odenkirk is a likable and charming protagonist. Though his role as Saul Goodman is iconic, you don't actually see Saul Goodman when you watch him in this movie; he occupies this role entirely. The movie blends the slick, intense action scenes with hilarious comedy in a way that neither clashes with the other or creates awkwardness. The compact 90-minute runtime is perfect. And I like Christopher Lloyd. We don't know how many more big-screen movies he'll appear in, so we should cherish them

In terms of flaws - the movie has a predictable plot; nothing here is really original or creative. And I don't imagine that many people, after watching, will remember this movie in the long-run. The movie builds up Sharon Stone's character, yet the protagonists take her out relatively easily. There are some cliches. There are some elements recycled from the first film

I gave the original a 6.5/10. I'll give this one the same score

6.5/10.

Nobody 2 is the sequel to the first Nobody film from 2021. This sequel is directed by Timo Tjahjanto, known for The Night Comes for Us.

Hutch Mansell (Bob Odenkirk) is still working as a hitman, a job that seems to have only gotten busier since his confrontation with the Russian mafia. When Hutch notices that the rest of his family could also use some relaxation, he decides to take them on a holiday to a vacation park he used to visit as a child.

When Hutch and his family run into trouble there, he discovers that the park is run by corrupt criminals led by mafia boss Lendina (Sharon Stone). She sends her best people after Hutch and his family, unaware that Hutch himself has connections in the criminal underworld and even works for them.

The first Nobody film was an entertaining action flick, essentially a standard action movie in the style of the John Wick films, but with Bob Odenkirk's own action style, which gave the film something unique. With this sequel, they attempt to mimic more of the atmosphere and action style of 1980s action movies. They succeed fairly well, which makes the film extra fun for fans of that kind of older action cinema.

The action scenes, however, are often filmed with too much movement or zoomed in too closely, so you can't always clearly see what's happening. Sometimes you're asked to more or less fill in yourself how Hutch takes out his enemies, though you are given enough beforehand to guide you in a certain direction. This makes it seem like they played it a bit safer with the action this time around. The explosions also don't always come across as convincing. Despite these less clear and safer moments, it remains an enjoyable action movie.

The story also stays on the safe side, meaning you can often predict what will happen and where the plot and action will ultimately lead. While Bob Odenkirk's character received help from his family in the first film, in part two this family assistance seems to have been expanded. As a result, the film can sometimes lose some of its focus. In addition to following Hutch, his wife and children also get extended screen time, but they don't always do anything important, which sometimes slows the pace.

Bob Odenkirk still convincingly plays a hitman who takes out his enemies with his own style. This time, however, he sometimes has to unnecessarily share his screen time with the actors playing his family. It's still fun to see Christopher Lloyd in an action movie, although he unfortunately gets less screen time than in the first film. Still, he manages to deliver some comedic moments.

The villains, unfortunately, come across as weaker this time. There is frequent switching between who is actually the real boss of the criminal organization. As a result, you spend more time with Lendina's subordinates than with her herself, making her less impactful as the final boss. She comes across more as someone who manages everything from behind the scenes, without you having spent enough time with her to really find her interesting.
