There’s no way to recreate the novelty of seeing comedy veteran and “Better Call Saul” star Bob Odenkirk become an action hero for the first time in 2021’s “Nobody,” so I was relieved that sequel “Nobody 2” doesn’t even make the attempt.
As the movie begins, everyone in his life knows that seemingly mild-mannered suburban husband and father Hutch Mansell (Odenkirk) is actually a highly trained assassin, and anyone he meets later in the movie learns the truth very quickly. That leaves “Nobody 2” as a slightly different kind of movie than its predecessor, but director Timo Tjahjanto and returning screenwriter Derek Kolstad maintain the playful tone of the original.
