John wick: they killed my dog

Nobody: they've taken my daughter's kitty cat bracelet

And yes, the "go somewhere safe" actually resulting in the wife going somewhere safe was refreshing.

I directed this movie and I love the 'Cold Beer and a Burger' analogy. Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the review!

This was the moment Saul Goodman became a CIA operative.

When she helped him glue up his stab wound, it was clear that Hutch’s wife knew his full background.  That was reinforced at the end when she also wanted a house with a basement.

"And a 200 year old Christopher Lloyd weilding a pump action shotgun like an absolute boss." What more could you ask for indeed my friend.

Bob Odenkirk has the “John Doe down the street who you’d never guess actually killed Bin Laden” look and it works perfectly

My favorite part about Nobody is the use of visual humor over quips and one liners.

The bus fight is simultaneously brutal and hilarious at the same time

So, to paraphrase the Drinker, “Nobody is perfect”.

Fun fact: Tobey "Spider-Man" Maguire was one of the executive producers of this movie

"He looks like he buys his clothes from the discount isle in Target"
Wow, I finally got muh representation.
wipes away tear

5:27 "But somehow he manages to switch from mild-mannered family man to brutal killer in the blink of an eye, and make it seem like the most natural transition in the world."
Guess Saul learned a thing or two from Gus huh?

"Burger and a Beer" should be an official rating metric for movies. Satisfying, fulfilling and always good.

To me the biggest difference between the two main heroes (that is, Nobody vs John Wick), is that you get a sense that John Wick was someone who just wants to be left alone, whereas Hutch, the main character in Nobody, has seemingly been waiting about 20 years for someone to FINALLY give him a reason to initiate brutal violence again.  I also think that hiring the Director of Hardcore Henry really helps too, as both movies are very creative with the way they execute gunplay and ass-beatings.

"Sometimes, it really is ok to just sit back with a burger and a beer" This man just summarised a beautiful, dying philosophy in just one sentence. Hats off you to you, you absolute chad :')

EDIT: HOLY BALLS, 1.8K LIKES!? Thank you guys so much!!!!

No joke: Bob Odenkirk had the same trainer who worked with Keanu Reeves in John Wick. He trained like an absolute MADMAN to get in shape for this movie.

It's almost as if all that people want from movies is a short escape from reality and to be entertained.

According to Bob Odenkirk on his Howard Stern interview, he wrote this movie himself after his own home was burgled.  It got him thinking about his family’s safety and started him down the road to develop this film.  He also trained for months to be physically fit enough to perform this role.  We all identify with him in this film, because in our fantasies, we all think we would be this guy!  Peter Griffin meets Rambo!

the analogy of Nobody being a burger with a cold beer of a movie is just so spot on. Bob Odenkirk was perfectly cast for this role. Hope to see more of him in the action genre.
