I must admit, I’d completely forgotten “Nobody” (2021) when I sat down to watch this, but once it picks up an head of steam it’s actually quite a good fun, entirely senseless, stream of violence that does raise a smile. Still beholden to “The Barber” (Colin Salmon) after his first outing, “Hutch” (Bob Odenkirk) has been carrying out some dangerous tasks to try and reduce his $30 millions debt. After this most recent task, though, he declares that he is going to take an holiday with his wife (Connie Nielsen), his kids and his dad (Christopher Lloyd). They decide to return to one of his childhood haunts but aren’t there very long before “Hutch” sees red and is smashing up the people, the furniture, the fruit machines - even a duck-boat, and that earns his the attention of the menacingly ruthless “Lendina” (Sharon Stone) whose drug-smuggling enterprise is being interfered with, and she’s none too happy about that. When the pyrotechnics manage to destroy a fairly massive shipment of her cash and her “product” she is just going to have to come and settle the score herself - and that’s the denouement this builds to, quite entertainingly, for an hour and an half. The only thing it is missing is an alligator as noses and bones get broken left, right and centre; there is loads of betrayal and some new friendships made before the wonderfully hammy Stone and the underused Lloyd make their presence felt: the former more in the style of something from “John Wick”, the latter more from “The A-Team”. If their is a moral, well it’s probably never to give your arcade tickets to the girlfriend of the son of the local kingpin, otherwise maybe they’d just have eaten candy floss and gone home more rested.
