Critics' Reviews

The added familial focus this time around is a welcome switch up, as is the change in scenery. Tjahjanto leans into the summer-break vibes at every turn as Hutch (Odenkirk) is desperate to “make memories” with his family at Plummerville, one of the few places he had fun growing up. The plan seems to be working until, in typical Hutch fashion, an incident at an arcade rapidly escalates.

The biggest problem with “Nobody 2” is that the surprise factor is gone, and nothing has taken its place. The wow of seeing a generally comedic actor like Bob Odenkirk go John Wick in the fun 2021 sleeper hit isn’t there anymore. Still, writers Derek Kolstad and Aaron Rabin can’t find anything to give the film the missing charge of the new. No one’s heart is in it, even as other body parts are severely damaged.
