Nobody 2 Review – Bob Odenkirk’s Holiday of Carnage

TL;DR

If IKEA rage had a body count, it’d look like Nobody 2.

Nobody 2 isn’t groundbreaking — it’s bone-breaking.

It’s dadcore, blood-soaked, and stupid in the most entertaining way possible. A slightly less brilliant encore to one of the most unexpectedly great action comedies of recent years.

Criminal Fantasy Fulfillment

Remember that moment when your neighbor mows his lawn at 7 a.m. on a Sunday, and you wish you could solve it with a shovel? Nobody 2 is that fantasy, filmed in glorious slow motion.

Bob Odenkirk’s Hutch is back — retired, relaxed, and pretending family holidays are fun — until someone spills his cocktail the wrong way. Within ten minutes, we’re knee-deep in corpses, car chases, and the comforting knowledge that violence is still the only language dads speak fluently.

For us, the audience of morally flexible degenerates, it’s perfect. No cops, no lectures, no remorse. Just unhinged middle-aged chaos served with sunscreen.

Plot & Pacing

The “story” (a generous term) is basically Taken meets National Lampoon’s Vacation. Hutch tries to take his family on holiday. Bad guys show up. Hutch takes them on holiday... to hell.

The pace is fast, the plot thinner than a Belgian beer coaster, and you’ll love it for exactly that. The film doesn’t breathe — it wheezes, punches, and keeps going like an overcaffeinated Roomba with PTSD.

There’s a villain, there’s a twist, but let’s be honest: you’re here for creative manslaughter, not narrative depth.

Characters & Performances

Bob Odenkirk is the kind of man who looks like he apologizes to furniture — which makes it even funnier when he starts rearranging people’s bones. He sells every punch with weary elegance, like a dad reluctantly fixing the Wi-Fi with a hammer.

Sharon Stone strolls in, chews the scenery, and looks like she’s having more fun than anyone else. Everyone else? Cannon fodder with dialogue.

This isn’t a film about growth. It’s about regression — to that primal moment when hitting things made you feel alive.

Dialogue & Writing

The first Nobody had sharp wit. This sequel? More dad jokes between murders. The dialogue feels like it was written during an ad break for painkillers — functional but blunt. Still, when Hutch mutters something sarcastic mid-fight, it lands.

Think less Tarantino, more “guy at a BBQ muttering about taxes while disemboweling a gangster.”

World & Atmosphere

It’s sunny, tropical, and full of crime. Like if Death Wish was shot during a TUI commercial.

There are gunfights in bars, blood on bikinis, and enough explosions to make Michael Bay sigh with envy. The world doesn’t feel real — but it’s so self-aware you stop caring. It’s violence wrapped in postcards.

Direction & Style

Directed by Timo Tjahjanto, a man clearly allergic to calm. The action choreography is stellar — fast, chaotic, beautifully over the top.

At times, though, it’s all fight, no flavor. Like watching someone try to eat soup with a machine gun. You’ll admire the energy but wonder if anyone slept during production.

Soundtrack & Mood

The soundtrack swings from beach-party pop to industrial chaos. It shouldn’t work, but it does. Every track sounds like the playlist of a man who’s done with society but still enjoys a margarita.

The mood? Controlled anarchy. You grin, you wince, and by the end you want to punch something… lovingly.

Morality & Madness

Morality here is a dead language. Hutch kills, we cheer, and no one pretends it’s complicated. It’s violence as therapy — cheaper than counseling, louder than yoga.

If you leave the cinema questioning ethics, congratulations: you missed the point.

Rewatchability / Bingeworthiness

Will you rewatch it? Probably once, while drunk, shouting “YES DAD!” at the TV.

It’s not The Godfather. It’s the cinematic equivalent of eating a kebab at 2 a.m. — messy, satisfying, and regrettable only to people with taste.
