Bob Odenkirk’s new Western action movie has just been added to streaming

The film is from the same writer as John Wick and Nobody.

Released in UK and Irish cinemas last May, the film is available to stream on the service NOW. The story follows Ulysses (Odenkirk), a sheriff in the quaint Midwestern American town of Normal.

The provisional posting was meant to be a welcome respite from both his marital woes and recent moral injuries in the line of duty.

"But when a botched bank robbery interrupts the municipality's tranquil pace, a dark secret is inadvertently exposed, and Ulysses soon discovers that the town is anything but its namesake," the plot synopsis adds.

Holding a solid 77% Rotten Tomatoes score, the movie has earned praise for its lead turn from Odenkirk, its action set-pieces, and its satirical undertones.

You can read a sample of some of these glowing reviews below:

Empire Magazine: "Bob Odenkirk continues his late-career action streak with a satirical and stylishly violent take on the small-town-under-siege movie. Ben Wheatley meets John Wick? Oh, go on then."

Financial Times: "Kolstad’s script is clever enough to land as satire. It also makes for a cheerfully gonzo midnight movie. You laugh, you wince, you check for bloodstains on your way out."

The Guardian: "It’s entertaining and bizarre chaos, anchored by Odenkirk’s hangdog air of gloomy resignation to the violent mess which he has to clean up."

Mark Kermode: "I thought it was riotously entertaining."

San Jose Mercury News: "… A nonstop neo-Western action film as Ulysses, played with the right amount of drollness by Odenkirk, goes out on a call about a bank robbery that turns into something bigger."

Sight & Sound: "Wheatley’s gleefully violent comic thriller pairs Coen-esque absurdity with inventive action and sly commentary on US gun culture."

Normal is streaming on NOW in Ireland and the UK.
