A perfectly satisfactory sequel
Nobody absolutely blew my socks off in the same way that John Wick or Taken did. Just a flash in the pan piece of brilliance that positioned Bob Odenkirk as an action superstar. For the sequel, they had to try to do something quite special to recapture that magic, but they didn't quite manage that. That being said, Nobody 2 is still a very strong and entertaining sequel, it just doesn't quite hook you in and spit you out like the first one did.
Once again the plot follows Odenkirk as Hutch Mansell, a man with a particular set of skills who finds himself caught up in the affairs of Sharon Stone's crime boss. Its a perfectly reasonable plot that gives us plenty of scope for action sequences and cliche family moments.
The action is the main draw of this film, and it does it well. There's a good mix of hand to hand combat, gun fights, big explosions, and it's all shot very well. Odenkirk once again rises to the challenge and performs well, and the supporting cast is scattered with good performances.
Overall then, this sequel is unlikely to blow you away and it doesn't hold a candle to the first film, but it does it job of being an entertaining film chock full of decent action.
