'Normal' (2025) Movie Review

Because it’s an action movie starring Bob Odenkirk as a seemingly regular guy pushed to extreme violence and was written by Derek Kolstad, Normal is going to get compared to 2021's Nobody, for good and ill. (Honestly, the similar title doesn’t help in that regard.) While there are definite parallels, Ben Wheatley’s new movie is more average-Joe-in-extraordinary-circumstances than it is secret-badass-hiding-in-plain-sight. Quite a bit of Normal is a total blast, but just as much, if not more, sags under curious, often baffling choices. It’s a weird, mixed bag of a film.

'Nobody' (2021) Movie Review

I love it when a movie I’m super excited about turns out to be even more awesome than I hoped. Such is the case with Nobody, which somehow manages to cast Bob Odenkirk in a whole new light, that of a badass action movie star. It’s gleefully violent, funny and strange, and a total high-paced blast end to end. 

'Nobody' Trailer: Bob Odenkirk Goes On A Rampage, And Yes, He Could Beat You Up

Okay, now I’m scared of Bob Odenkirk. Maybe not scared of him, because he seems like a genuinely nice guy, but I do now know that if it ever came down to it, he could kick my ass, just beat the ever-loving crap out of me. Don’t believe me? Watch the trailer for his upcoming action movie Nobody and then lets talk.
