Movie Review - Nobody 2
You know, it is what it is... Not much.
There's no action that makes me go, "Wow."
They tried to be situationally funny, but I never laughed and didn't hear anyone else in the theater laugh.
There's zero drama. We know that the good guys are going to survive. That's never in doubt. And there's no sacrifice to be made because it's not that kind of movie.
So what kind of movie is it? My personal opinion, as a middle-aged white guy, it's a movie to make middle-aged family men think, "You know, if I'd had special training when I was young, I could be this guy." Hutch isn't physically remarkable. I've seen guys at my local gym who are older than him and look more imposing. Hutch represents that fantasy that a family man might have if they imagines what they'd do, or wishes they could do, if someone crossed them.
Take for instance, the scene where Hutch and family leave the arcade. As they leave, a guy smacks Hutch's daughter on the back of the head. That's it for Hutch. He was willing to walk away, but now, he has to do that thing that men wish they could do. It's just family man revenge porn. I guess there's nothing wrong with it. But there's certainly nothing right with it.
Grade: C-
About The Peetimes: This is a short movie, so there's only two Peetimes. Both are good, so go with whichever you need.
There are extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of Nobody 2.
