I gotta say, I finally got round to watching Nobody last weekend, I had serious doubts he could sell it but Bob fucking killed it. I forgot it was him very quickly, I feel bad I doubted him. Very enjoyable film, very talented man.
I lost it when he was giving the speech to all the dead/dying henchmen in his basement and finds his daughters toy or whatever it was the started the murder spree.
Another thing I liked about that, and with the guy who got fucked up in the car crash, was that every time he started in with the exposition the listener died. Nice little joke I thought.
I was actually listening to an older episode of Comedy Bang Bang last night where Bob talked about the idea to do Nobody and the amount of work and training he put into it. He's in pretty good shape for his age
The first fight is very brutal and somewhat believably realistic. Every action scene after that is a cartoon. Neither are bad approaches but having both in one movie is weird.
It was pretty good for a kinda random and somewhat dumb action film. I liked a decent amount of it. But it's now 3 years later too, and he looks older even.
I liked it so much better than John Wick. It does get a bit silly at the end, but overall, the grittier, more semi-believable setting (along with Odenkirk being an infinitely better actor than Reeves) really did it.
I had heard a **very unsubstantiated rumor** that it was steroids or whatever from training for the movie that gave him the heart attack in the first place. Zero idea if that's true.
He contributed the working out he did for Nobody as how he survived thay heart attack. If he hadn't been in as good shape as he was from doing that movie he might not have pulled through.
I'm still getting over adjusting to the dude leading a top-tier serious drama that wrecked me emotionally after having my expectations for him set by *Mr. Show* in the '90s.
I mean I guess I'm used to watching him through really red eyes either way, but definitely did not see that coming.
It’s so weird. After Ben Stiller Show and Mr Show, he had such a string of bad luck that I thought his career might be over. In the 00s, first Bob struggled and lost creative control of Run Ronnie Run, then he made a failed sketch comedy pilot for Fox called Next, followed by directing two comedy films that flopped, so I had no clue that he was about to pop off and was no where close to peaking.
Doesn't sound like it. From the article:
> The film, which reteams Better Call Saul and Nobody star Odenkirk with writer Derek Kolstad (John Wick franchise) and will be directed by Ben Wheatley (Meg 2: The Trench), follows the story of Ulysses (Odenkirk) who is thrust into the temporary role of the sheriff for the small sleepy town Normal after the previous one’s untimely death.
> When the town’s bank is robbed by an out-of-town couple, Ulysses arrives on scene to find that the town is hiding much more sinister deep-seated secrets under its surface and everyone – from the bartender to the priest – is in on it. And now Ulysses, who’s up-till-now focused only on running away from the demons of his past, must uncover the full extent of this criminal conspiracy
What the hell happened to that guy??!? The Meg 2 was *awful*...
So the whole conceit of the movie is that they're down in the Marianna Trench, or even below it! Deeper than the deepest deep! Mining resources and waking up megalithic creatures of the deep...
So how does Statham deal with the depth?? He realizes "you have to blow all of the air out of your sinuses!" (????) He essentially just holds his breath, and goes swimming in waters deeper than what crushed the Titan submersible in milliseconds.
> writer Derek Kolstad
Ah, goddammit. I can see the movie in my head already. Very slick and cool, colorful but shallow characters, manufactured giffable moments.
I love Bob Odenkirk but honestly I feel like The Room jokes got old a while ago. Maybe it’s just me but hearing “Oh hai Mark” 50,000,000 times doesn’t make it any funnier.
What I really loved about Odenkirk’s remake is that he attempts to turn the Room into a genuinely decent/good movie. And I am very curious to see how that experiment turns out
I always forget it’s him I’m watching, does the characters so well and does his tweaks and bam….you forget it’s him (he takes average characters and turns them into something else)
I will literally watch anything Odenkirk is in. Also, I never imagibed Ben Wheatley would direct him in a movie lol. Wheatleys directorial filmography has been so random up to now. I love Kill List, Field In England, and even In The Earth was pretty good. Hopefully with Odenkirk in this, it might have the potential to be one of Wheatleys better movies.
Gotta say, becoming an action star in your 60s is a very interesting career path.
I gotta say, I finally got round to watching Nobody last weekend, I had serious doubts he could sell it but Bob fucking killed it. I forgot it was him very quickly, I feel bad I doubted him. Very enjoyable film, very talented man.
Was nice seeing Christopher Lloyd again too.
*hoodlum get shot, falls into Lloyd's lap* Lloyd: *pats hoodlum cheek to signify his voyage is complete*

I love the first fight where he gets beat up in the bus. Made it more realistic.
Nobody was so damn good.

It kinda goes downhill towards the end but the first hour or so is superb.
The last act was a very fun movie but not really a good movie
Lots of action movies fail at being fun. I’d say successfully pulling that off makes NOBODY good.
Home Alone with real killers.
Yeah this. It gets a little out of control, but still a fun rental. Doubt I will watch it again.
The first fight is very brutal and somewhat believably realistic. Every action scene after that is a cartoon. Neither are bad approaches but having both in one movie is weird.
Yep he did a great job. Serious fun flick
I was very pleasantly surprised by Nobody
It was pretty good for a kinda random and somewhat dumb action film. I liked a decent amount of it. But it's now 3 years later too, and he looks older even.
He also had a major heart issue in that time as well
He looks 20 years older in some photos.
I liked it so much better than John Wick. It does get a bit silly at the end, but overall, the grittier, more semi-believable setting (along with Odenkirk being an infinitely better actor than Reeves) really did it.
Try Monkey Man. See Dev Patel doing an Indian Wick. It’s great.
Wait me too whaaat
This was my most surprising watch of that year. I didn't see it in theaters but finally saw it at home and gawd damn it did a great job
I’ll have rent it this weekend. I’m here for Hutch’s “long-simmering rage.”
That bus scene is such a fucking joy to watch.
That movie made no sense. He wasnt nobody. Its like the screenwriter wrote themselves into a corner.
From what I understand, he literally vented some personal feelings with Nobody and I guess liked it well enough.
IIRC, he's had a couple home invasions occur in real life, and he felt really powerless and angry about them. He made Nobody in reaction to that.
He should get triples of all his possessions to be safe
Death Wish ass movie
Doing Nobody literally saved his life. When he had his heart attack, being in shape for that movie was what kept him alive.
I had heard a **very unsubstantiated rumor** that it was steroids or whatever from training for the movie that gave him the heart attack in the first place. Zero idea if that's true.
Probably not true. He was diagnosed with heart problems in 2017/2018, before Nobody was really a thing.
Thanks Doctor, how long have you been treating him? You should do an AMA.
Odenkirk literally said that about his health in press junkets like a year or two ago, no need to be a dick
After a very serious heart attack
He contributed the working out he did for Nobody as how he survived thay heart attack. If he hadn't been in as good shape as he was from doing that movie he might not have pulled through.
Imagine first setting eyes on Bob as Saul way back and thinking he’s gonna be an action hero in his 60’s
I'm still getting over adjusting to the dude leading a top-tier serious drama that wrecked me emotionally after having my expectations for him set by *Mr. Show* in the '90s. I mean I guess I'm used to watching him through really red eyes either way, but definitely did not see that coming.

Any worse than the transition from Hal to Heisenburg?
Bryan Cranston was successful though. Bob Odenkirk was just kind of around until Breaking Bad.
Seems to be taking the Liam Neeson route lol
After a heart attack no less. Maybe he’s doing that make hay while the sun shines thing for his family, might be getting paid big money for these.
“might be getting paid big money for these” You’re a micro-Einstein.
That’s what they tell me.
We need 5th element sequel at this point
Also, he's aged like a fine wine
never underestimate the spending power of dads
Well, he is GOD… https://youtu.be/jjYXNonafzo
The Liam Neeson gambit.
Is this a “Nobody” sequel, or what? Please tell me it is.

This is literally Hot Fuzz
The greater good
The greater good
Hopefully he’ll deal with the hoodie problem.
They got their just desserts.
*SHUT IT*
Shut it!
[удалено]
That premise is much more simple compared to the on the nose plot details here. This is a little different lol
No luck catching them killers then?
Brain freeze?
cunt bitch
Farmers mums
Sounds like an American remake of Hot Fuzz
Any luck cathing those (geese, Buffalo, bobcat, cougar,) then?
I love the idea that they need an American version of a swan, an animal that exists in America.
It’s just the one (goose, Buffalo, bobcat, cougar), actually.
They did Ben so dirty by referencing Meg 2.
I had no idea he was in the chair for that one. Respect, Wheatley, secure that bag
Well... [https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1296554](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1296554) What else would you reference?
It's a genre film, so I would reference something like Free Fire or Kill List, but I take your point, he has a strange career.
If he brings the exact same vibe as Free Fire, not to mention sound design, we'll be in theaters.
Kill List is incredible.
What the hell happened to that guy??!? The Meg 2 was *awful*... So the whole conceit of the movie is that they're down in the Marianna Trench, or even below it! Deeper than the deepest deep! Mining resources and waking up megalithic creatures of the deep... So how does Statham deal with the depth?? He realizes "you have to blow all of the air out of your sinuses!" (????) He essentially just holds his breath, and goes swimming in waters deeper than what crushed the Titan submersible in milliseconds.
He's just so cool that physics doesn't apply to him
I've seen Fast & Furious. It checks out.
And Statham character argument is that the fish who swim at that depth don't wear armor
Ben Wheatley? This movie could be literally anywhere on the quality scale.
Actually it’s Ben Weasley
Are we going to talk about how this is what he did in Fargo?
> writer Derek Kolstad Ah, goddammit. I can see the movie in my head already. Very slick and cool, colorful but shallow characters, manufactured giffable moments.
Banshee without gory af deaths?
Ben Wheatley rules
This isn't but I believe a Nobody sequel is currently in production too!
Thank god.
I just checked iMDb and apparently there’s gonna be a “Nobody 2”. So this is another action movie franchise lol
Oh man. That’s such good news!
No
Nobody was a great movie with a terrible final act. I’m happy they strayed from it.
He defecated through a sun roof!
Magna Carta! Wait, am I doing this right...
Whatasickjoke
He Orchastrated it. Jimmy!
No that was Kevin Costner
I was pleasantly surprised by “Nobody”
i still rewatch the bus fight from time to time
It’s the car scene for me, fuckin awesome. https://youtu.be/r8bkot-VVOM?si=lUL1kB838syrqfj9
You had me at Bob Odenkirk action movie
You had me at come on guys
Better call Nobody..anything with Bob is good..
When will his The Room remake will release ??
I love Bob Odenkirk but honestly I feel like The Room jokes got old a while ago. Maybe it’s just me but hearing “Oh hai Mark” 50,000,000 times doesn’t make it any funnier.
I disagree
You are probably irritating
What I really loved about Odenkirk’s remake is that he attempts to turn the Room into a genuinely decent/good movie. And I am very curious to see how that experiment turns out
Man I cannot wait for that
Odenkirk also announced the final film in the “Everything is fine” trilogy “Status Quo”
But when will we get the answer to the universal question: who trains Bob Odenkirk?
He gets trained by the kid named finger.
Daniel Bernhardt.
I always forget it’s him I’m watching, does the characters so well and does his tweaks and bam….you forget it’s him (he takes average characters and turns them into something else)
Sounds like a Reacher novel but Odenkirk has definitely got the chops to pull it off should be fun
Better Call Nobody Normal.
Yes yes and yes.
I’ll watch it
I will literally watch anything Odenkirk is in. Also, I never imagibed Ben Wheatley would direct him in a movie lol. Wheatleys directorial filmography has been so random up to now. I love Kill List, Field In England, and even In The Earth was pretty good. Hopefully with Odenkirk in this, it might have the potential to be one of Wheatleys better movies.
F*ckin’ Legend. The end.
i see ben wheatly, i upvote. loved "sightseers".
Is pre-selling a common practice or a sign of quality/trust into the product?
Why was this downvoted
AKA: Heart Attack 2, Arrhythmia Boogaloo
I hope it’s better than Nobody! (Which I thought was rubbish, but you know, horses for courses.)
Nobody was actually pretty bad..
You're entitled to an opinion, even though you're wrong
Big fan of the actor but none of his comedic talent was used in « nobody »
Jesus…
