Nobody 2: Bob Odenkirk’s Action-Thriller Scores Strong on Rotten Tomatoes Ahead of Release
Bob Odenkirk returns as Hutch Mansell in Nobody 2, hitting theatres on August 15, 2025, with high expectations. The film ushers audiences into the quiet tourist town of Plummerville where Hutch’s family vacation spirals into chaos, facing threats from a crooked theme-park owner, a questionable sheriff, and a ruthless crime lord.
Critical response has been very positive, with Nobody 2 currently holding an impressive 82% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes from 60 reviews. This is close to the original Nobody film’s 84% critics score, which was also highly praised. Audience scores are yet to be released but will be key to the film’s long-term success.
What Critics Are Saying
Reviewers appreciate the blend of brutal, creative action sequences and Bob Odenkirk’s signature dark humor. His return as an unlikely action hero balances fierce combat with moments of heart and comic relief. The sequel adds fresh energy, thanks in part to director Timo Tjahjanto, known for his flair in horror and thrilling visuals.
However, some critics note that while Nobody 2 is a highly entertaining watch, it doesn’t quite break new ground or surpass the original’s shock factor. It stays true to the franchise’s style without reinventing the wheel, which fans of the first movie will likely appreciate.
Strong Ensemble Cast
Alongside Odenkirk, the film sees returning favorites Connie Nielsen, RZA, Michael Ironside, Colin Salmon, Billy MacLellan, Gage Munroe, Paisley Cadorath, and Christopher Lloyd. New additions include Colin Hanks, John Ortiz, McKenna Grace, and Sharon Stone, whose performance as the villain injects a thrilling manic energy to the film.
Bob Odenkirk’s Unique Journey
Bob Odenkirk’s evolution from a comedy writer and actor into a bona fide action star is a rare and remarkable transition. Initially known for his work on Saturday Night Live and Mr. Show with Bob and David, Odenkirk gained widespread fame as Saul Goodman in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. His turn in the original Nobody marked a surprising and successful shift to action cinema, which continues with this sequel.
