Anyone seen the trailer for "Nobody"? Bob Odenkirk looks intense!

Hands down the best action flick I’ve sat through lately. It’s ninety minutes of pure, unadulterated fun, and honestly, the soundtrack alone elevates the whole experience to a different level. Odenkirk kills it in the lead role, and the rest of the cast really holds their own—I particularly enjoyed how Lloyd played his part as the old man.
You aren't exactly looking for groundbreaking originality in the script or the plot here; you know exactly what kind of ride you're signing up for. People keep bringing up John Wick, but if you ask me, this actually beats the Wick movies. I don't quite get why people try to frame the Wick films as some kind of reinvention of the wheel when there have been countless similar movies made over the last forty years, none of which were truly "original."

Ultimately, Nobody delivers a solid dose of humor, great cinematography, and some genuinely entertaining scenes with characters that feel almost caricatured, which just works for me. I'm giving this a huge recommendation because I was genuinely impressed. I might be going a bit far, but I’d put this in my top five most enjoyable movies from the last few years. And one more crucial thing: there isn't a single moment of forced sentimentality.

Man, *The Passionate Collar* is absolutely top-tier. It’s wild—the guy just goes totally ballistic, like some manic lunatic tearing through everything in sight, and then out of nowhere, he finds this lost collar tucked under the sofa. And he’s just like, "Oh, hey, look at that"

Look, there have definitely been better action flicks out there. If we're talking choreography and directing, it’s probably a notch below John Wick. Like, in the first Wick movie, the villain felt super weak—there was this huge missed opportunity where they could've brought in a heavy-hitting Russian badass as the secondary antagonist, but they just blew it. So yeah, overall, the movie just lacks that sense of real threat or presence you want to feel.
In the first half, the main guy gets absolutely wrecked and seems pretty vulnerable, but then suddenly in the second half, he's basically invincible. The action gets so over-the-top it almost feels like a parody—honestly, even worse than that Home Alone Equalizer finale.
It was fun, sure, but pretty mindless... I've already forgotten most of it. That said, I'm stoked to see Bob Odenkirk landing lead roles because he's always been such a likable guy.

The whole thing is basically just one big surreal joke.

I was totally sold the second he realized that necklace had vanished from the ashtray. You just have to watch the look on his face.
- Dobrica, Dobrica, Dobrica.
- The necklace is gone.
- Turn off the lights, clear out the streets, I'm outta here—bam, pow, zap, boom, wham, kaboom, crash, smash, splat, crunch, ouch, my head, why does this always happen to me?!
- Look, the necklace just slid under the couch.

The funniest part is when those bus doors slam shut right in my face🍿

It’s right after they toss him out the window, and then he just politely asks the panicked driver to let him stay outside and not call 911.

Then he hops back on the bus, slams the doors shut, and goes:

—"I only have one problem in my life."

I don't think that's really what they were going for—it’s definitely not a Shoot Em Up style flick.

It’s honestly surreal when you watch someone try to explain to Tarzan Hoggar why Tom is constantly hunting Jerry, only for Jerry to absolutely wreck him every single time.

Bob Odenkirk is always a blast to watch, but I don't get why everyone's acting like this is anything more than your run-of-the-mill action flick. 🤷

The best part is definitely when he goes to interrogate someone at that tattoo parlor or whatever it's called, and some old guy notices his ink. He just loses it. Says "thank you for your service" and then heads straight back to a jail cell. 🤣🤣

Who's actually pretending it's something else? I think you judge movies by how well they nail their own genre. As an action movie with a decent sense of humor, this thing is pretty much at the top of its class lately. It was genuinely fun; I actually ended up watching it twice in three days, so in my book, it’s great. Obviously, it’s not the kind of movie that’s going to haunt your thoughts for weeks or force you to rethink your entire worldview. It won't move you to tears, and it certainly won't inspire you to go out and change your life.
It delivers ninety minutes of solid entertainment, and for what it is, it's a winner.

Take this for example. Last night I sat through Judas and The Black Messiah. It’s a heavy-hitting historical drama dealing with themes that still feel relevant in America today.
So I watched it, and what did I really get out of it? A tedious drama that lacked the actual punch needed to make an audience stop and think. Sure, Daniel Kaluuya did a fine job, though I can't say for certain if he earned the Oscar—I haven't caught all the nominees yet.
As far as serious historical dramas tackling modern issues go, it felt incredibly lukewarm and uninspired. Not a single scene really stuck with me, honestly. It's the kind of forgettable movie that people will have moved on from by next year.

So, we have this "serious" drama that can't even compete with the best films in its category from recent years. At best, it's a mediocre production that leaned on its subject matter to turn a profit without breaking much of a sweat. Honestly, I’d rather sit through the entire filmography of Steven Seagal than endure that snooze fest again, and I’m not exactly a fan of Steven Seagal.
On the flip side, we have an incredibly engaging action movie that I’ll probably revisit a few more times. Does it offer profound social commentary? No. Is it a masterpiece of high art? Not really. But to me, it’s ten times better than Judas and The Black Messiah. And there’s no shame in that. If a movie functions perfectly within its genre, why should we treat it as inferior? Just because it's simple or doesn't reinvent the wheel? If that's our metric, we might as well toss out 99% of all cinema for being unoriginal.

Nobody is top-tier when it comes to its genre these last few years, and it deserves the credit.

I'm totally digging this too. I've already watched it twice, and honestly, the second time was just as good, if not better. 🍿

Dammit. Just based on the trailer alone, I spent days wondering how Hollywood’s progressive crowd would whip up an NRA picture book without blinking—and wouldn't see a single issue with it. It’s truly a miracle—the sheer power of selective outrage.

The absolute worst part about how this movie ends? The wife still loves her husband. Like, they actually seem to enjoy each other's company. That’s pretty damn rare, if you ask me.

It's tragic. I can already see the sequel being written. "Who Stole the Ashtray?" dun-dun-dun-dun! And there goes the crew, charging straight for the ashes. Turns out the ashtray was worthless all along, but hey, at least they kept their principles.

Badabafpufpafkukujao. Then plot twist: it turns out the wife is actually a secret agent who pulled off a total pufpafjaokrokren. So then, just to keep her cover intact, she "accidentally" passes out right into the arms of some random guy.

That's exactly how my grandma used to tell me stories after my dad would vent to her.

Finally got around to watching it—seriously impressive stuff, especially that bus scene. 🤣

Did I read "selective"? Because if anything here is selective, it's your take—basically your whole way of thinking. ☕

Anyway, I actually liked the movie. It’s not like we haven't seen stuff like this before—kind of a hybrid mashup of *Leon: The Professional* & *Kick-Ass*—but there are definitely some cool little tweaks in here.

For me, the best part was how they kept the focus on the action and the shootouts, while simultaneously cranking up the pace during those boring, empty stretches of life.

It was my first time seeing the lead actor and man, he hooked me immediately. ☕

The relationship with the woman was just enough to actually make the audience feel something.

I love movies where the main characters make me want to channel my inner Avenger. 🙏

I could honestly watch him go nuts one more time.

which is exactly why they made ☕

Just finished watching. It was good. 👍 He’s giving off major John Wick vibes—actually, I stopped halfway through the last one, can't even remember why... but this guy? Pure charisma. He really carried the whole movie.

Elaborate—or just shut up.
