A sequel is due for release this time next year.
Our TV movie pick for tonight (Tuesday, 6 August) is Nobody, the 2021 movie that saw Bob Odenkirk (Better Call Saul) unexpectedly and successfully go full action man.
In the film, he plays a seemingly ordinary husband and father named Hutch 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 a bracelet the criminals stole from his wife (Connie Nielsen).
Doing so, however, sets off a chain of events that threatens to drag Hutch back to his mysterious, violent past that he swore to leave behind.
Nobody hails from the creator of the John Wick and franchise and also features amongst its cast Aleksei Serebryakov (McMafia), Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future), Colin Salmon (Resident Evil), Michael Ironside (Starship Troopers) and RZA (The Man with the Iron Fists).
And the movie’s terrific against-type lead performance from Odenkirk, its fun screenplay and its bone-crunching action sequences suggest the film will go on to be seen as an action classic.
A sequel is due for release next August that will see Odenkirk returning, as well as Sharon Stone joining the cast.
Holding an 84% Rotten Tomatoes score, the original Nobody is airing on TV tonight at Film4 at 9 pm. It is also available to stream on Channel 4’s website.
