Nobody 2 Review: Bob Odenkirk Is So Much More Likable As A Sleazy Lawyer Than An Ass-Kicking Dad

Bob Odenkirk holding a gun in Nobody 2.

I can say that I’ve been a fan of Bob Odenkirk’s going back literal decades. In the 1990s, my introduction to him came via the hilarious and brilliant sketches on Mr. Show with Bob and David (along with one-off appearances on some of my favorite sitcoms), and like just about anyone else you might talk to, I was stunned by his turn to the dramatic playing the slippery Jimmy McGill a.k.a. Saul Goodman on Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. He’s repeatedly proven himself a smart and talented performer with tremendous range, and he has a unique charisma that lets him succeed as both a lead and in supporting roles.
