BrutalGamer Bringing you Brutally Honest feedback from today's entertainment industry.
The sequel to the surprise action hit that was Universal Pictures’ Nobody is coming up this summer, and here’s your first look.
The music got us
We were already pretty hyped for Nobody 2. The original film, which hit theaters in 2021, was a surprise hit, delivering brutal action at the hands of a former governmental cleaner turned family man named Hutch Mansell, played by actor Bob Odenkirk.
The sequel picks up from the ending of that tale, finding Mansell working off a new-found debt to the Russian mob. But it’s not in those confines where the actual story takes place, instead focusing on a vacation that Mansell’s beleaguered family goes on.
Expect kinetic fight scenes, Christopher Lloyd, and a certain tune that frames it perfectly.
Sometimes the most dangerous place for a dad is a family vacation.
Bob Odenkirk returns as suburban husband, father and workaholic assassin Hutch Mansell in the new chapter to Nobody, the hit 2021 bare-knuckle action-thriller that opened at number one at the U.S. box office.
Four years after he inadvertently took on the Russian mob, Hutch remains $30 million in debt to the criminal organization and is working it off with an unending string of hits on international thugs.
Much as he likes the slam-bang action of his “job,” Hutch and his wife Becca (International Emmy nominee Connie Nielsen) find themselves overworked and drifting apart. So, they decide to take their kids (Gage Munroe, Paisley Cadorath) on a short getaway to Wild Bill’s Majestic Midway and Waterpark, the one and only place where Hutch and his brother Harry (Grammy and Emmy nominee RZA) went on a vacation as kids.
With Hutch’s dad (Emmy winner Christopher Lloyd) in tow, the family arrives in the small tourist town of Plummerville (“Plummerville is Summerville!”), eager for some fun in the sun.
But when a minor encounter with some town bullies yanks the family into the crosshairs of a corrupt theme-park operator (John Ortiz; Fast and Furious franchise, Bumblebee) and his shady sheriff (Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Colin Hanks), Hutch finds himself the focus of the most unhinged, blood-thirsty crime boss he (or anyone) has ever encountered (Emmy winning and Oscar® nominated screen icon, Sharon Stone).
Universal Pictures press release
Ready for action? Nobody 2 hails from director Timo Tjahjanto and stars Odenkirk, Connie Nielsen, John Ortiz, RZA, and Colin Hanks, with Christopher Lloyd and Sharon Stone. Look for it to hit theaters this summer, debuting on August 15th.
