Nobody

After attaining deserved stardom due to his electrifying performances on 'Breaking Bad' and 'Better Call Saul', veteran writer-performer Bob Odenkirk made the move to a feature film starring vehicle. Here he's a ton of fun playing an average working drone named Hutch Mansell, living an ordinary average life. But after his house is robbed, this brings out his long-suppressed action-oriented tendencies. One night, he decides to dispense some punishment to miscreants raising hell on a bus. He ends up killing one of them, and now he's in over his head because this victim was the kid brother of a top Russian mobster (Aleksey Serebryakov). But with a little help from his own dad David (Christopher Lloyd) and the mysterious Harry (RZA), he takes the fight to the multitude of bad guys.

There's no deep thinking needed for a lark like this; overall, this is ideal if you just want a non-stop, fast-paced barrage of violence. As you can surmise, this is not a case of a milquetoast discovering his inner badass after some passage of time; this is a story of a guy who's always been tough but prefers not to show it off. And Odenkirk, who came up with the concept after dealing with a home invasion in his real life, is nicely cast as this unlikely action movie hero. He's not super-human, fortunately; he does take some lumps during that memorable bus sequence. But he's a determined man who refuses to let these scores of creeps intimidate him. The whole supporting cast is great, although Connie Nielsen (as Mrs. Mansell) and Michael Ironside (as his father-in-law) don't get much to do in the finished film. It's just a total hoot seeing Lloyd in one of the unlikeliest roles of *his* career. And Serebryakov is likewise fun as the bad guy, playing him with some nuance and not just menace.

Amusing soundtrack choices, solid fights and chase scenes, and a steady supply of expendable thugs who (mostly) can't hit the broad side of a barn help to make this acceptable over-the-top, patently ridiculous action fare.

As a bonus, this was filmed in my hometown, so I had additional fun spotting familiar locations.

Seven out of 10.

A husband and father becomes the target of a vengeful drug lord.

Bob Odenkirk is absolutely outstanding here.

Director Ilya Naishuller and writer by Derek Kolstad offer a sharp film, with great action set ups, that's wonderfully filmed with credible looking locations. Connie Nielsen is slightly wasted that said there's a fantastic extended cameo from Christopher Lloyd. The supporting cast and solid including Michael Ironside and Colin Salmon. Aleksei Serebryakov as Yulian Kuznetsov is memorable.

With a great soundtrack it works perfectly until it goes into John Wick, Equalizer territory, that aside there's enough story tweaks to keep it fresh, in addition to echoing a modern Death Wish with a touch of A-Team and Macgyver to name a few it's a great ride.

Overall, a hard hitting fun must see action. Worth watching for Odenkirk alone.

You'll have to go back pretty far to find another bloody good time! This is a shocker in current year and refreshing! By the 32m mark, I'm going crazy! This is a throwback to a time when guys just turned off their brains and enjoyed a flick. This movie knows what it is and makes no apology. I only wish I'd saw this in theaters. Bob is awesome! Glad I found this.

If you are into John Wick type of films, you will be quite interested. But it's not exactly that kind of film this one. Mostly because there is no horse-riding and cartoon-ish absurdity in action sequences. There's "slightly" more realism and the fact that the hero of this film seems vulnerable makes it more interesting; Bob Odenkirk does look like an everyday day guy in this film. But the action scenes and the fights are excellent and he does an excellent job nailing them! The film starts off well, somewhat slow and picks up faster pace within 20 min. Right at that point, there is one scene which is rather stupidly set-up to give way for the rest of the story...the one with the bus...but later things do improve. The bus sequence is excellent action, don't get me wrong. It's just the way it was setup prior to the action. But... don't look for any script/scene consistency...just enjoy. Runtime is excellent for this genre; just 1h 30min, it never ever gets boring. It's just a cool movie overall, it won't get an Oscar or stay in your movie library but it will provide great entertainment! 7.5/10 for the fun.

I was intrigued by this movie as Bob Odenkirk was in the lead role in the movie. Since the scriptwriter and producers of this movie are also in the team of the John Wick series, I was expecting this kind of movie. First of all, the movie is great. The acting is great, the action is very good, the director did a great job too. This is one of the surprise movies of the year. It was fun movie.
