Nobody (2021)

This movie wants so badly to be John Wick, the very air is thick with it. Is it John Wick? No, not quite. It's a solid enough action flick, although Bob Odenkirk cast as the lead wasn't the wisest choice in my opinion. He's awkward enough that seeing him as the badass actior star is jarring, but he's also a little too big of an actor (particularly recently) to just be the nobody regular joe forgettable dude the movie insists everyone thinks he is. There's just something slightly off about the performance I can't nail down.

The action is fun, and usually well shot, but not necessarily in a way that lends particular weight to the scenes. It's hard not to compare it to John Wick given the obvious influence, and Nobody, while enjoying, never hits those same high points. Best scene goes to the hacker woman early on who, upon finding out who he is, throws his files on the floor and runs out immediately. That's the kind of response necessary to really sell this premise.

7/10
