The high-octane film hails from Ilya Naishuller, who directed the absolutely insane first-person shooter movie Hardcore Henry. Some people unfairly dismissed that movie as an extended gimmick, but I thought the story worked in addition to the non-stop action.

In Nobody, no one expects much from Hutch, a suburban dad whose family is disappointed in him when he fails to defend them after their home is broken into by two thieves. Though Hutch is constantly overlooked and underestimated, the aftermath of the incident strikes a match to his long-simmering rage, triggering dormant instincts and propelling him on a brutal path that will surface dark secrets and lethal skills. In a barrage of fists, gunfire and squealing tires, Hutch must save his family from a dangerous adversary (Aleksey Serebryakov) and ensure that no one will ever see him as a nobody ever again.

Connie Nielsen co-stars as Hutch's wife, while Odenkirk's fellow Emmy winner Christopher Lloyd plays his father and RZA plays his brother, whose own hidden talents aid Hutch in his quest for vengeance.

John Wick creator Derek Kolstad actually wrote the script for Nobody, and original John Wick co-director David Leitch produced the film along with Kelly McCormick via their 87North banner.

Bob Odenkirk, action star? Not what I was expecting, but I could get on board.

Also, I wish I hadn't watched the trailer but gone in blind. The "twist" would have been much more fun without knowing it was coming.

Wonder if this is the reason this franchise exists.

While director Chad Stahelski has been behind the camera of every John Wick movie and Keanu Reeves is obviously the face of the franchise, the whole thing began with Derek Kolstad. The screenwriter wrote the original screenplay and concocted this entire world of international assassins, cool hotels, mysterious monetary denominations, and bulletproof suits. But it sounds like Kolstad’s time with the franchise is over, because in a new interview, he has revealed that he will not be writing the scripts for the previously announced John Wick 4 and John Wick 5.
