Hutch Mansell (Bob Odenkirk) is feeling a bit burnt out by his new life as a fixer. It turns out killing people for a living can be just as dull as being a part of the rat race. So he decides to take his family on holiday to Plummerville, a small resort his father once took him to. But finding trouble is in Hutch’s nature, so it turns out to be less relaxing than planned. 

The original Nobody was a bit of a surprise. Bob Odenkirk was not known for his action movie credentials and the idea of him kicking ass was fun. But with that surprise element gone the cracks in the premise really show in this lazy sequel. Let’s be completely clear, you should only watch this if your sole interest is in seeing Odenkirk’s Hutch beating people up. Because the plot and characterisation is abysmal. 

Coming in under ninety minutes means that the task of watching Hutch’s latest exploits is not too onerous, but everything other than the fighting is either undercooked or just plain bad. His wife Becca (Connie Nielsen) is fed up of Hutch not being at home as he is constantly working… but then she seems to change her mind. His son Brady (Gage Munroe) seems to have become a bit of a hothead and there is a bit of a theme about fathers not wanting their sons to make the same mistakes as them… but then it’s just kind of fine. And then there is a little subplot about making family memories… so the photographs we see the family taking through their holiday appear in the credits. And that’s it… just sit back and watch Hutch kick ass. 

Possibly worse though are the terrible villains. Colin Hanks plays an awful Sheriff in a small town cliche and a barely recognisable Sharon Stone plays the big bad in as loud and extravagant way as possible. At least she looks like she is having fun. 

The fights are ok though… especially one on a boat. The whole thing ultimately leading to a Home Alone but in a theme park finale. 

If you really need an action movie fix then this is for you. But it is a lazy and derivative sequel that could have been much better.
