Bob Odenkirk plays a seemingly very ordinary meek everyman whose dull and repetitive failing life is set out in a slick opening montage, until a burglary sets him off on a revenge mission that puts him in the path of an unhinged Russian crime boss and unleashes a surprising set of 'special skills' from his secret past. Ultimately, Nobody plays on the contemporary popularity of the Taken / John Wick violent vigilante genre, where one man takes down whole armed gangs with grounded violence, set to a selection of deliberately cool and classic cuts playing on the soundtrack. Nobody is stylishly shot and slickly edited, and the action/violence is very well choreographed, although the whole exercise comes across as somewhat numbing and to little point.
