You spend the first of Nobody thinking that Bob Odenkirk is totally miscast. Then the second half thinking, it just doesn't matter. This is an exciting, slick but ever so slightly silly action flick that pulls no punches. It's brutal, it's violent, it's non stop action.
Bob starts the day is a nobody. Nobody to his wife, his kids, his boss, his colleagues. He's undermined, underappreciated and himself underwhelming - until somebody ticks him off. Bang, and we're off. Mayhem.
The pure madness of the story and the lack of any sense of realism fades into insignificance as Bob just gets madder and madder. The cliched characters are a little tiresome and you do get a sense that you have seen this story unfold with the same protagonists before, so in a sense there is nothing new here other than Bob playing a badass.
It's enjoyable and very watchable nonetheless. Those calling for a sequel is mistaken - let this live as a one-off. The same old story would only play out again.
