One of 2025’s biggest action movies has just been added to streaming

The film is the sequel to one of our favourite action movies of the decade.

Accessible through the service NOW, the film is the sequel to the 2021 Bob Odenkirk-starring modern action classic, Nobody, a movie we've recommended many times before.

The original saw the Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul actor play a seemingly ordinary husband and father named Hutch Mansell, whose family is the victim of a home invasion.

After Hutch is seen as a failure for not standing up to the thieves, he sets out to retrieve what the criminals stole from him and his wife, Becca (Connie Nielsen).

Doing so, however, sets off a chain of events that drags Hutch back to his mysterious, violent past that he swore to leave behind.

Thanks to its great premise and the always lovable Odenkirk unexpectedly but brilliantly going full-action man, Nobody was a box office and critical hit, leading to calls for a sequel.

The 2025 follow-up sees a burnt-out Hutch take Becca and their kids on a summer vacation, where they end up running afoul of a gang of drug dealers and crooked cops (led by a new franchise villain, played by Sharon Stone).

Nobody 2 is a solid sequel that delivers a lot of the thrills of the original, if not the same sense of surprise.

Ahead of the follow-up's cinema release, JOE interviewed its director, Timo Tjahjanto (The Beekeeper 2, The Night Comes for Us, The Shadow Strays). He told us that, in the same way that the first Nobody was inspired by a real-life home invasion that Odenkirk experienced, the actor drew on his past for the sequel.

As Tjahjanto explained: "Some people know that the first film is loosely based on [how] Bob at some point got his house broken into and a robber pointed a gun at him. That's how the script came to be.

"I think with [Nobody 2], Bob once again is tapping into something that has become a strong core memory. It's all about his childhood.

"He said to me: 'Timo, there's this place in the Midwest, it's in Wisconsin. It's called the Dells, and it's got water parks and amusement parks.'

"That became: 'So, the topic will be Hutch now is trying to take his family on this vacation because he wants to make these good memories with his kids, with his wife.'"

Though Tjahjanto has made several movies starring real martial artists, he was full of praise for Odenkirk's action prowess, calling the actor "a machine".

"I didn't learn until much later that Bob was actually 61 when we were shooting. I was like: 'Holy crap, this guy is committed.'

"I would like to say that I'm the younger man in the dynamic between me and Bob, but I know Bob can kick my ass for sure.

"I often joke Bob's probably the only dad who has a six-pack, but he doesn't want to show it.

"He's kind of like Ned Flanders. He's not showy at all. He has this ripped physique, and he doesn't even want to make a deal out of it, and that's a good thing. Classy."

Nobody 2 is available to stream on the service NOW.
