Nobody 2
It’s “John Wick” meets “National Lampoon’s Vacation” meets “The Family Plan” when suburban dad/family guy/retired lethal assassin gets pulled back into the criminal underworld. This is the sequel to 2021’s “Nobody” where Hutch Mansell (Bob Odenkirk) tries to live a peaceful mundane life but a home invasion triggers his former skills to protect his family. Four years later, feeling overwhelmed by the stresses of life & drifting apart from his wife & kids, Hutch plans a getaway family vacation to Wild Bill’s Majestic Midway & Water Park in Plummerville, a fond childhood memory of his & his adopted brother. However, Hutch soon learns the true corrupt nature of this tiny town & he must take a stand to protect his family again. Like the original film, over-the-top explosive violence & dark humor dominates the action on screen as Hutch & company weaponize this fun park. Sharon Stone & Colin Hanks are featured villains. After this vacation, the Munsells are gonna need another vacation.
Alien gives it 3½ “duck boat, water park slide, & fun house fun with mirrors” stars out of 4.
