Nobody 2 (2025)
Nobody 2 is an American action thriller film and a sequel to the 2021 hit Nobody. The movie is set to be released in theaters on August 15, 2025. Directed by Timo Tjahjanto, with a screenplay by Derek Kolstad and Aaron Rabin, from a story by Kolstad and Aaron Rabin, the film brings back the core cast from the first movie.🎠Plot Summary Hutch Mansell attempts a family vacation at a nostalgic water‑park called Plummerville, hoping to reconnect with his wife and kids. But trouble isn’t far behind—he’s still embroiled in a massive debt and ends up clashing with a corrupt sheriff (Colin Hanks), a shady park operator (John Ortiz), and ultimately, a megalomaniac crime boss (Sharon Stone). The story unfolds with absurd and creative violence—think Hollywood’s version of National Lampoon’s Vacation turned ultra‑violent—with fight scenes in an amusement park, a gritty finale, and comedic undertones woven throughout.🗣️ Critics at a Glance Positive Highlights: Washington Post praises its dark humor, intense choreography, and fun character moments—especially a memorable elevator fight—calling it gritty, stylized, and under‑90 minutes of action-packed entertainment. Financial Times enjoys its comedic slant, likening it to National Lampoon’s Vacation elevated with brutal action and absurdity, giving it a solid three-star rating. Houston Chronicle commends director Tjahjanto’s Hollywood debut, balancing savage fights with nostalgic music, a winning pace, and a throbbing mix of humor and heart. Audience reactions on X (Twitter) are mostly enthusiastic:“Nobody 2 is far better than its predecessor. Funnier, bloodier, and more creative with the set pieces…”“Oddly emotional… Odenkirk is still a great everyman hero.”Critical Drawbacks: The Guardian criticizes the film as formulaic and forgettable, with repetitive fight scenes that lack narrative or emotional depth, and a cliché‑laden approach that weighs down its impact. AP News calls it a forgettable sequel that suffers from tonal inconsistencies, awkward humor, and underdeveloped components—even Sharon Stone’s performance can’t entirely redeem it. CinemaBlend echoes these views: despite stylish action from Tjahjanto, the film lacks emotional stakes and Hutch’s arc feels hollow—making Nobody 2 less engaging than its predecessor.🎯 Conclusion Nobody 2 is a high-energy action sequel that blends dark humor, creative violence, and a quirky setting—a nostalgic water park—to deliver an entertaining, if somewhat shallow, experience. Bob Odenkirk returns as Hutch Mansell with his signature everyman charm, and the film’s stylish direction and fast pace keep the thrills coming. While fans of the first movie and action-comedy hybrids will likely enjoy the ride, critics point out the sequel’s formulaic plot and lack of deeper emotional stakes. Overall, Nobody 2 is a fun, brisk, and bloody action flick perfect for viewers looking for lighthearted thrills rather than profound storytelling.
