Nobody (2021)
'Better Call Saul' on steroids!
Bob Odenkirk plays a seemingly normal family man but his dark past accidentally starts up a one-man war against the Russian mafia.
We all love Odenkirk as the mobster-lawyer Saul Goodman in tv-series Breaking Bad and more so in 'Better Call Saul'. You will find the dark humor of these tv-series back in this movie. But with the deviousness in this case much much more physical, lol.
With the John Wick movies as greatest example also 'Nobody' is an achievement of the re-invention of 90's action flicks with their brutal action, great oneliners, an over the top 'human' villain, a hero on steroids that defeats a whole army on his own without nearly getting hit himself (just a few flesh wounds, lol). I even had a 'The A-Team' 90's tv-series moment here! The dramatic part in the story is never strong in these kind of movies but in 'Nobody' it's good enough to emphasize with Odenkirk's character. Also thanks to good acting.
Shout out to Christopher 'Back To The Future' Lloyd as the dad and Aleksey Serebryakov as the main villain. They were hilarious ^_^ And also RZA as 'radio voice' :-) I also love actor Michael Ironside but I think most of his role did not leave the editing room sadly. What a shame for such an underrated actor so let's root for him in the sequel shall we. ;-)
All-in-all a great popcorn movie !!

gore and nothing more...
The acting is terrible, the action is terrible, the story is terrible, the special effects are terrible but the gore is magnificent and that saves the movie completely... This isn't a horror movie that wants to spook you but wants to disgusts you... and oh boy, it really does... I've seen it on BIFFF festival at Brussels and I can assure you everybody loved it... the more bloody disgusting the gore was, the more fun we had... it didn't matter that it looked all fake like hell... and if you were looking for some originality in this movie, you would certainly find it in the gore. :-) So one advice: buy some beer and chips, and see this movie not alone but with some friends... a fun evening assured
