'Nobody 2' - Watch Or Skip? These Are The First Reviews Of The Action Flick
Bob Odenkirk returns as Hutch in 'Nobody 2', delivering a thrilling performance that many fans will enjoy. However, the sequel faces challenges with its story, drawing mixed reactions from critics.
After the events of the first film, Hutch tries to build a quieter life, but the violence haunts him once again. His past catches up to him and forces him back into action. The Tomatometer score on Rotten Tomatoes currently stands at 78 percent.
More Gusto Than Expected
Kyle Smith of the Wall Street Journal writes that Hutch in this film leans towards superheroism, making him less engaging. "Still, this film has more energy and guts than most superhero movies."
Peter Howell of the Toronto Star finds the film entertaining, although the story remains superficial. "It's fun to watch, much like the original, but the script lacks depth."
Great Odenkirk, Weaker Story
David Fear of Rolling Stone notes that Odenkirk has now definitively found his place in the action genre. "Nobody 2 exists mainly to expand the concept. Everything else is secondary."
Amon Warmann of Empire also praises the lead actor but critiques the story. "Odenkirk remains a joy as an action hero, but the plot of this sequel disappoints."
Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian is less positive: "Bob Odenkirk’s unexpected career as an action hero continues in this predictable and forgettable sequel to the witty original."
