Odenkirk and Sharon Stone’s performances can’t save this over-the-top action film that lacks depth and feels more like a John Wick knock-off
2/5 stars
“De-escalate,” mutters Bob Odenkirk’s Hutch Mansell in Nobody 2, as if it is a mantra he will never quite grasp. A family man with a penchant for kicking butt, Hutch could not de-escalate if he tried.
In this sequel to 2021’s surprise mini-hit Nobody, he is paying off an enormous debt by pulling off lethal hits for his one-time handler, The Barber (Colin Salmon). But after another grisly takedown, all Hutch wants is a holiday – for “making memories”, as he drily puts it.
He convinces his wife Becca (Connie Nielsen) and kids Brady (Gage Munroe) and Sammy (Paisley Cadorath) to take a break at a water park in Plummerville, the place his dad took him on the only family holiday he can remember.
