You cannot imagine how refreshing that bus scene was for me. Feels nice to see the protagonist get as much damage as the bad guys. Always appreciate a healthy dose of realism in a fight scene.
Yes! That’s why I like this movie. Realism, especially the Bro in-law faux-relationship & his multi-racial (government letter-man) family. And the moment the guy he was supposed to K*ll, sees the family he has, he realized his own words, his own words, should be listened to.
the tatoo is 7-2 off-suit, the worst poker hand you can pull. often called the Suicide Hand, it's a favorite among Special Forces operators, the idea being that even with the worst hand you'll still come out on top.
In universe his unit was sent on missions that should have been certain death but they always came back. The rumors made the rounds and the tattoo became infamous.
another funfact: its the same director that made John Wick. and he said in an interview that Nobody plays in the same universe, wich would make a lot of sense in some details :D@@Jhas14ducks
Hard to believe this film wasnt a smash hit at the box office. Ive heard Bob Odenkirk wanted to do a sequel but its not come about yet. Everyone who watches and reacts to this film just loves it. I hope a sequel gets funding and greenlit very soon!
I'm pretty sure this movie came out during the pandemic and some theaters were closed/people were apprehensive about going to the movies. I definitely agree that it seems like everyone loves the movie because it's so well done and FUN. Bob Odenkirk did such a terrific job with this.
First movie I went to in theaters after covid hit....good times. I took covid pretty serious as my mother's health wasn't great...but I chanced this since the theater was otherwise empty.
erh what? the sequel was greenlit over a year ago, a quick google search will tell you that :) Exactly because it was considered a huge succes, the film made back three times what was sprent on it almost immediately
it's such a throwaway thing, but that guy lying in the Hospital bed getting a chair thrown at him makes me laugh my ass off every time i see that scene.
The interesting thing is that it's the same writer/creator and the same basic plot as the first John Wick, but at each point, he made different decisions about how to approach the story. It's still a story about a former killer who goes to war against the Russian mob after a young family member of a mob boss goes rogue and gets into a conflict with the main character. They still raid his house. He still raids their storehouse and burns their valuables. He still gets into a final showdown with the mob boss and kills him. It's amazing that everything can be so much the same and yet so different.
This movie makes me think of a blend of something like 'John Wick' and 'A History of Violence'. I love that Bob Odenkirk plays a bad ass who isn't invincible. He can take a hit and keeps getting up. It's sort of like 'John Wick' who is all about drive and determination. But there's also the 'A History of Violence' aspect of having a family and trying to live the normal life only to realize that maybe it isn't for you. In this case you can tell he loves his family, but he was also tired of being someone he wasn't. This movie is just so damn entertaining and had a great blend of action and comedy.
A History of Violence is an amazing film, but neither of the films you mentioned has the tone and humor of "Nobody". Not criticising either John Wick (which I LOVE) or the other, just saying - entirely different movies to me.
@@i_love_rescue_animals I meant in terms of action and family life. Obviously 'Nobody' adds more humor and that's why I think it manages to stand out so much. Bob Odenkirk has great delivery and he actually enjoys what he does whereas someone like John Wick views it as more of a profession. Although I did hear rumblings that they were considering placing both of them in the same movie universe, but I hope that doesn't happen.
I'm so pleased you're finally seeing this,it's a great movie and I love it,I don't think too many people have reacted to it which is a shame.P.S. Loved all your comments,and did you see the clip that was after the credits as you didn't mention it. ❤
The director described Hutch as an alcoholic who falls off the wagon. Only, instead of alcohol, it's violence. So he keeps wanting it more and more as the movie goes. Also, this movie shares the same writer and producer as John Wick. That's why people compare them. People also have a fan theory (or maybe hopes) that they are in the same universe. And it definitely released to theatres because I saw it in theatres and loved it.
If you're not aware of it, both John Wick and Nobody were written by the same screenwriter. According to him, both characters exist in the same universe. There has been rumors of doing a crossover between the two franchises but they're owned by different studios so it probably won't happen, though that's what everyone thought about the Aliens and Predator franchises and Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th as well. As far as a sequel to Nobody, it's in the works. They're supposed to start principal photography sometime this year, though my bet is sometime next year before they start.
It's funny that instant shift to sympathy you get when you see that young couple was eating noodles for dinner and had the sick baby. They go from being villains to desperate parents in a second. Beautifully done.
How to do a genre film right. The anguish and frustration on Bob's face when he sees the baby on oxygen in the thieves' apartment is probably my favorite shot...and how the bus comes as 'divine intervention' right after that is so, so satisfying.
My Younger Brother Recommended This Movie To Me, And Last Year We Both Sat Down And Watched It And I Wasn't Disappointed One Bit, It Was Nice Seeing You Guys Watch It And I Enjoyed The Reaction, Definitely Can't Wait For More To Come In The Future, Keep It Up.👏👏👏😉😉😉
The people that made this film also made the John Wick films. It might be a shared franchise because the stamps on the gold bars look very much like the ones in the Wick films.
This movie is an instant cult classic. A sleeper hit if there ever was one. It doesn't seem like a lot of people have seen it, but those of us that have, know it's a masterpiece. I love John wick but i honestly think this tops it.
I think it didn't get a theatrical release because of the pandemic shutting down all movie theatres, went straight on one of the streaming services and wasn't marketed?
9/10 Gimme 'Nobody 2' An absolute blast! 'Nobody' is a supremely entertaining action flick. Most of it actually feels fairly usual for a film of this sort, yet the way everything is presented is great! The pacing is perfection, the musical choices are fully on point and then you also have strong cast performances. Bob Odenkirk is of course (rightly) super acclaimed for that role as a certain lawyer elsewhere, so it's nice to see him doing other things. He is superb in this from beginning to end. Aleksei Serebryakov also gives a good performance, as also seen in television's 'McMafia'. Christopher Lloyd and RZA are fun, too. The action is top notch, especially the fight stuff, and the humour - whilst not in your face - is noteworthy as well. It all comes together to make a fantastic 90 minutes that truly fly by. Gimme 'Nobody 2'.
Now it depends on Bob Odenkirk's health situation. After his heart attack he has to be more careful with roles like this at this age. He worked really, really hard to get into shape and to be able to do these action scenes. Which probably saved him from a worse outcome with the heart attack to be honest. Now, he's said he and the director want to do a sequel and they set things up and the "world" obviously can support many, many sequels lol so we'll see what happens. Also, the rumor for a while was some sort of cross over movie with the John Wick franchise, and I forget which director said it, but it was basically said they are in the same universe. So, who knows?
WOW!!!! GREAT!!! Yes lots of action!!! BOB was absolutely amazing!!! So cool!! Glad nothing happened to Christopher Lloyds character, he was great too, the look on his face he was having a ball!! Yes everyone was great!!! Yes!! Every bit of this movie was perfect!! Thanks for doing this movie, I had never heard of it, so glad I got to see it!!!!👍
Awesome Reaction don’t forget about the end credits and I love y’all dark theater background that’s the way movies should be watched especially scary movies y’all for me have the best theater atmosphere out of all the reaction commentary’s thanks very much! Y’all are top notch.
I saw this movie in between Season 5 and Season 6 of Better Call Saul. I like this movie a lot, and there is a scene in Season 6 of Better Call Saul where I just started giggling at someone wanting to fight Bob Odenkirk while thinking: "This may not go the way you think it will..."
Another great movie IMO is Violent Night. It a Christmas action movie with David Harbour. And it's made by a lot of the same people who made this movie. And Christmas is coming up so you never know near future reaction maybe Haha. Anyway loved your reactions as always!
I think you all revied Gladiator recreantly and Connie Nielsen was in that, as well as Devils Advocate, Hunted, Basic, and 3 Days to Kill. And yes a sequel is in development!
I'm so happy you've watched this. I LOVED the movie, especially that iconic bus scene. I'm going to save this video to watch later, as a treat for working on a Sunday :)
Do make sure you go back to watch the post credit scene--it's a hoot! Also, another vote for Gunpower Milkshake. Some similarities to Nobody and John Wick. Great actors, action and a unique approach. A lot of fun!
Well, they are all movies, so yeah totally similar. Gunpowder Milkshake was TERRIBLE, and also a massive bomb for Netflix. It's the studio going "lets make an action movie with all females, because that's what our audience is craving.... don't worry about making it any good either"
This movie shot to my top 10 on first viewing. Seriously underrated flick that is one of the most enjoyable films to see reactions to, because most people are going in blind and are in for a real treat.
GUESS WHO IS BACK HEY GUYS IS BEEN A LONG WHILE I REALLY MISS YOU GUYS. YOU GUYS ARE ALWAYS MY FAVORITE REACTOR COUPLE EVER ❤️❤️👊👊🔥❤️ AND CONGRATS ON THE BABY 😁💪🏼💯💯😤
The guy on the bus who asks about his teeth, and who later gets beat up with a chair while on a hospital bed - he’s the same actor/stuntman/fight instructor who gave John Wick a run for his money.
I love this movie. Love that he actually isn't perfect and gets hurt. I've been wondering another movie of the same genre payed respect to this one with that one character sharing the same name?
Another couple of films along the lines of older badass retirees that are definitely worth watching are "RED" from 2010 and "RED 2" from 2013, good action and more comedy, staring Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich, Helen Mirren, Anthony Hopkins, Karl Urban... Trust me you'll like them.
Really glad y’all reacted to this & enjoyed it so much! I’m with y’all on your appreciation of it, as it may be my favorite action movie of its kind too! SO WELL DONE & I’m a big Odenkirk fan too! There’s an after credits scene too!😂 May God bless your family! He loves y’all WAAAAAAYYYYYYY MORE than even we do!!!🥰 Later!
One thing about the Vinyl records and old VCR tapes, is that they burn at Really high temperatures. This was a big issue in the 60's-90's with large music collections and video rental shops. Then CD's and DvD's changed a lot of this.
The way you can always tell someone who really knows what they’re doing versus a regular fight is instead of backing up and trying to defend themselves. They always close distance. If someone does that, it’s really time to leave
I to am hoping for a sequel. Also, this was one of the 1st after Covid movies. Most people that saw it were saying, great movie to go to after Covid. So, yes it was in theaters.
Great reaction. I felt exactly the same after seeing this one. I remember watching Bob first in Kung Pao. That movie is hilarious. Wimp lo forever! The fact that it's the kitty cat bracelet that makes him finally snap back is just pure gold.
Connie Nielsen was Lucilla in Gladiator. I would also recommend Basic with John Travolta, Soldier with Kurt Russel and One Hour Photo with Robin Williams.
The frostiest move in this movie I think, everyone always glosses over, when Hutch tells him he burned everything and Yulian screams at him, Hutch just laughs and says with glee "You shoulda seen it!" Just completely unconcerned about the murderous Russian gangster yelling in his face.
You missed the ending cut scene during the credits. It was his brother and Dad driving across country in a van loaded with guns. You need to go back and watch it. You also missed the name on the secret file, "Nobody".
When you think about the fight in the house, just think about how terrifying it would be in the dark with someone attacking your people and you only hear the damage not how it’s done. As they say in the John Wick franchise who do you send to scare the boogie man? Apparently you send Nobody.
Loved it, the underdog who came around kicking butt, the thing we all wish we could do but can't. It's like rooting on Batman. The music was great and at times it was funny. Way to go BoB, ty for your service. Lol
43:44 I think it's kinda cool that Keanu Reeves had been in 2 movies now where it became some sort of standard for movies over a multiple decade period. The Matrix and now John Wick.
You wanna know something that makes me feel old? The “old timer” veteran’s cap said DESERT STORM VETERAN. I’M A DESERT STORM VETERAN! I’m old enough that now WE’RE the old timer veterans in movies. Fucking hell. I’ve lived too long.
Someone commented an explanation about the card tattoos and the meaning on another reaction video. I don't know if it's accurate, but for anyone interested the YT channel is Nikki & Steven React, Nobody (is the movie, of course).
found the comment again, here it is - @NotJustPersian 5 months ago -If your talking about the tattoo of the "7 of Spades & 2 of Diamonds". Its actually a reference to the US DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency)'s Most-Wanted Members PIPC (Personality Identification Playing Cards) Protocol for the US led Coalition to easily identify Saddam Hussein's key players within the government after the invasion in 2003. The highest, most dangerous, and with the ut most importance were given the "Aces, Kings Queens, & Jacks" of all suits. While all other subjects who were affiliated and subject to the same targeting were given the "10-2" cards of all suits. But also you gotta think this was early on in the invasion and was very common and was widely known Troops played cards to pass the time so CO's and NCO's both alike figured it'd be perfect time to bring back an old Protocol of the DIA. -But another bit of added history here, what a lot of people don't know is Iraq wasn't actually where the use of the "playing cards" for PIPC originated from, In fact its had been used 3 times prior, THE FIRST EVER being throughout the American Civil War. Then during World War II following the Pearl Harbor Attack, Army Air Corps decks printed these "playing cards" with the silhouettes of German and Japanese fighter aircraft for the PIPC Protocol. The last use of these "playing cards" PIPC Protocol was during the Korean War. -To put it into more perspective though even though Targets were already divided and given respective playing cards, it goes beyond that. Because Each Suit of cards represented a specific group of people (in which depending on how its going to be to take them out they are separated accordingly). When you break that down, Its even furthermore widely known anyone Identified with any Spade card, its mere suicide going after that target no matter how many people you bring simply because of the blow back that'll come with. While Clovers Targets come after Spades, Hearts after Clovers, and Diamonds after Hearts. What I'm saying is Targets with a Spade or Clover playing card Identifier is a Suicide mission while Targets with a Hearts or Diamonds is still very dangerous just not as costly. Now its up to the viewer to presume which card came first, but based on how the "2 of Diamonds looks a bit faded compared to the 7 of Spades" I can almost say IMO, I would say the protagonist had completed a "2 of Diamonds" Target first then sometime at somepoint completed a "7 of Spades" Target forcing them into hiding with a new identity and a new life, one of which is clearly hidden from the family. I hope this helps anyone better understand kind of a bit more information surrounding the tattoo around the "Playing Cards", and if anyone dares to ask how or why I bothered to type this even though no one asked, well someone will eventually ask, and I come from a long line Military Family + I went to college for 2 years studying to become a history teacher, prior to dropping out and taking over a Family Business after somethings happened.
I saw this movie for the first time on a flight, and I watched it again on the flight back. I loved this and I really hope they make a sequel of some sort.
RED... JOHN WICK... HOME ALONE... EQUALIZER... maybe TAKEN... and I really loved that The Wife knew all and wasn't a whiny-baby about any of it. She wasn't a foe against him - she was his ally, his partner. Perfect!
Also of note... after the first burglary home-invasion, Nobody heads downstairs and the little girl joins him on the couch - where she drops the kitty-kat bracelet.
The desperate couple picked his house to rob because it was easiest to get into, he had missed the garbage so many times that the built up garbage pile (pizza box) prevented the garage door from closing thus giving them access to the house since most people don't lock the door from the mainfloor into the garage in a attached-garage home. The just go with it Hollywood part is that automatic garage door units will stop and return to open when they encounter anything stopping it from fully closing ie: garbage, your vehicle not in all the way, a human 😅
This was one of the greats, as everyone involved brought something great to the table, as you never knew where this was headed next. The start showing him beat to hell was perfect, as there's no way everyone didn't think, how the hell did this all happen? Then at the end, you return to that scene knowing all that happened, and it was the perfect finish when he walked out with nothing more than "have a nice day" we can't touch you. John Wick is an amazing franchise, but this being based much more in reality was it's magic sauce, looking forward to a part 2, but I'm more than fine if this is only one, as it's perfect that way.
Love that you two watched this one. It’s a great movie. I always liked that it is more of a brawler because John Wick is more martial arts heavy. This movie is compared to John Wick because it has the same screenwriter. Bob Odenkirk had been home invaded (twice I think) and disliked how the police handled it so he would fantasize he was badass enough to handle it himself. So he got the John Wick writer to write him as such. Derek Kolstad the writer wrote it in the same universe as John Wick but because it’s release by a different studio it probably will never crossover.
The tattoo on Hutch's wrist, a Seven of Spades and a Two of Diamonds, is statistically the worst possible starting hand you can be dealt in Texas Hold 'Em, since they are the lowest two cards that cannot make a straight (there are four cards between 2 and 7), and both of them are off-suit. Meaning if you ever see these two cards, you should fold immediately, because you are most likely never going to win. In Tarot readings, the Spade/Sword is linked to bad luck, death, and violence, while Diamonds/Coins are linked to money. Translation: This man dealt in death and violence for money.
