Action. Thriller Hutch Mansell (Bob Odenkirk) is an underestimated and mild-mannered family man. One night two thieves break into his suburban home and he declines to defend himself or his family, hoping to prevent any serious complications. His son, Blake (Gage Munroe) and wife, Becca (Connie Nielsen) are disappointed in Hutch and begin to drift away from him. The incident ignites his resentment about being an unsubstantial father and husband; thus ... [+]

	Author	Review
United States	Peter Travers ABC News	"[Odenkirk]'s such a canny, captivating actor that even when the plot gets silly you're willing to follow him anywhere."	POS
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"Enjoyably absurd violence goes down easier with wry self-awareness (...) It's satisfying enough that it could spawn sequels"	POS
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"Is it a good movie? Not exactly. But its 90 minutes fly by, and it’s a canny vehicle for Odenkirk (...) The plot of 'Nobody' is, in a word, preposterous, but Odenkirk’s conviction makes it work"	NEU
United States	Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"It’s a wonderfully paced and consistently clever action movie that ups the ante of a genre that’s been dominated by Liam Neeson clones."	POS
United States	Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"[A] violent but entertaining revenge film (...) wickedly funny (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Robert Daniels Los Angeles Times	"Bob Odenkirk transforms into an action star. It suits him (...) A bleak action-comedy whose biggest laughs stem from a hunger for gratuitous brutality."	POS
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"While it doesn’t exactly linger, there’s plenty of fun here in small doses (...) There wouldn’t be much connectivity between these fast-paced showdowns if the disheveled Odenkirk’s world-weary presence didn’t sync up so well"	POS
United Kingdom	Wendy Ide The Guardian	"What took Hollywood so long to weaponise the ineffable coolness of Odenkirk? (...) It’s a blast (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Brian Truitt USA Today	"[Odenkirk] gets to utilize his comedic skills amid scenes that slightly spoof the Keanu Reeves hitman franchise, though 'Nobody' lacks needed depth and originality (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"'Nobody' is so smoothly executed that its shopworn elements aren’t too much of an issue (...) Odenkirk proves to be a compelling presence, always underplaying the humour"	POS
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"It’s the rare modern action film that makes me hope it does well enough to produce a sequel (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United Kingdom	Chris Hewitt Empire	"There’s a cartoonish quality, and even a lightness of touch, to the violence (...) One of the most purely enjoyable action movies in ages (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	A.A. Dowd AV Club	"Make no mistake, this is pure caveman bullshit. Yet it’s caveman bullshit made with style and wit, qualities that extend from its screenplay to its performances to its staging"	POS
United States	Matt Goldberg Collider	"In a strange way, 'Nobody' provides a kind of decadence in a safe environment (...) [It] is ultimately a comfort food."	POS
Canada	Mel Valentin Screen Anarchy	"[It] intriguingly starts as a 21st-century version of 'Straw Dogs' (...) before segueing, each time less interestingly, into 'A History of Violence'-style examination"	NEU
United States	Rob Hunter Film School Rejects	"Slick, quick, and highly entertaining (...) This is an action movie crafted by action fans with style, love, and the slyest of winks."	POS
Canada	Chris Agar Screen Rant	"'Nobody' delivers plenty of hard-hitting action audiences expect, but the story lacks the emotional impact for the film to truly connect with viewers (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	John Serba Decider	"A violently funny action-comedy (...) 'Nobody' is wild, OTT fun that might not work without Odenkirk's full-bore performance"	NEU
