One of the most exciting action thrillers of the past decade is the criminally underrated Hardcore Henry, Russian director Ilya Naishuller‘s first-person shoot-em-up that took the found-footage concept to new levels.
Naishuller is back to kick more ass, this time with a traditional actioner that turns comedian Bob Odenkirk (“Mr. Show”, “Breaking Bad”, “Better Call Saul”) into an action star.
EW shares a first look at Universal Pictures’ Nobody, in which the 58-year-old actor plays Hutch Mansell, “an unassuming family man who cowers and folds during a home invasion.”
“His post-traumatic shame disorder reignites a long-cooled fire within, and he summons a secret lethal skill set for a revenge mission, only to see it backfire spectacularly and put his family in greater jeopardy,” explains the online mag.
“I get the s— kicked out of me in this movie,” Odenkirk tells EW. “I really wanted to go way far outside, like 180 degrees outside my comfort zone. Just commit to this guy, commit to his rage, and commit to his commitment to what he’s doing.”
Odenkirk’s Hutch reawakens a treacherous enemy (Aleksey Serebryakov), and things don’t go as planned. “It’s not a clean, vengeful narrative,” he says. “It’s almost like collateral damage causes him more trouble than his initial problems.”
Written by John Wick‘s Derek Kolstad and produced by Atomic Blonde‘s David Leitch, the action film is in good hands with the addition of Naishuller.
EW says that Odenkirk trained for two years with standout stuntman Daniel Bernhardt, learning a melange of boxing, jujitsu, karate, and judo moves, and delighting in the camera-ready beatdowns. “The fist-bloodying fight sequences were as much fun as being in a comedy room,” he says.
Connie Nielsen, Christopher Lloyd, RZA, Gage Munroe, and Paisley Cadorath also star.
Here’s a look at the film, in theaters February 19, 2021.
