this kind of ham-fisted, ass-kicking filmmaking wraps its bloody violence in air quotes for a breezy 86 minutes, and while it doesn't exactly linger, there's plenty of fun here in small doses; it's a welcome pursuit even under forgettable circumstances
there's nothing new in this pointless, misguided mess. And violence as an aphrodisiac is not really what we wanted in 2021. Nobody comes out good in "Nobody"
taking itself much less seriously than the "Taken" series and its predecessors, it's a wish-fulfillment romp just as ludicrous as any of them but more fun than most; And Ilya Naishuller stages the action effectively, delivering visceral thrills..
Naishuller's latest is a lean action-thriller full of visceral violence and biting humor; There's no depth in terms of narrative, but none of that matters much when this Odenkirk-led cast is having an absolute blast
like "The Foreigner" with Jackie Chan and Liam Neeson's "Taken" movies, "Nobody" belongs to relatively a new screen genre; Here, the comedy is closer to the surface, thanks to the wit of Kolstad's screenplay and of Ilya Naishuller's direction
it's amazing; Make no mistake, this is pure caveman bullshit. Yet it's caveman bullshit made with style and wit, qualities that extend from its screenplay to its performances to its staging
is it a good movie? Not exactly. But its 90 minutes fly by, and it's a canny vehicle for Bob Odenkirk; The plot of "Nobody" is, in a word, preposterous, but Odenkirk's conviction makes it work
chief among the film's modest but welcome pleasures is Bob Odenkirk; Like Keanu Reeves's John Wick -- minus that actor's Zen-hipster street cred -- Odenkirk humanizes and brings humor to a character who is, in essence, a killing machine
"Nobody" could play well for anyone desperate to visit a recently reopened theater, but this is a rather chilly festival of carnage, too rigid to ever really spark to life. It's wickless
