NOBODY 2 MOVIE REVIEW
Just give us the Bob Odenkirk & David Cross action team-up already! The team that brought you John Wick and The Fall Guy are back with their follow up to their hit actioner Nobody starring Bob Odenkirk. After the events of the first film, Hutch (Odenkirk) constantly finds himself on high octane missions paying off his debt to the government. Yet his wife Becca (Connie Nielson) is trying to hold onto their family as Hutch misses out on practically every dinner. Hutch notices that there is a rift in the family unit and comes up with a plan to take a break from his deadly missions and take his family to his childhood vacation spot, Plummerville. A low-rent waterpark in Wisconsin could be the perfect place for the Mansell family to take a load off, rekindle connections, and allow the family to make memories together. But wouldn’t you know it, the town is run by a corrupt Mayor (John Ortiz) & a corrupt Sheriff (Colin Hanks) and of course Hutch finds himself in the middle of an ugly plot involving gun trafficking, drug smugglers, and nuclear arms trading. Furthermore, a higher up villain, Lendina (Sharon Stone), shows themselves to be the true threat to Hutch’s vacation plans. The film tries to hold these plots together, but ultimately lacks in character development, leaving the audience wondering why should they care about the Mansell clan. It’s disappointing compared to Odenkirk’s first attempt at an action film with Nobody and doesn’t have the same spark that made the first film so unique and special. Listen as Wright, Mike, and Ben discuss the latest by 87 North Productions.

YOUR REVIEWERS
Wright Sulek (The Other Boss, Trash in the Can, Digital Noise, Highly Suspect Reviews, Screener Squad)
Wright hails from the northern suburbs of Dallas, Texas. His passion for filmmaking brought him to Austin to study and make movies. Since then he’s had his hand in acting, writing, and directing his own short films with numerous like-minded film geeks he’s met along his journey. His newest interest has brought him into the podcasting world. He co-hosted a few different movie related podcasts such as ‘And Now This’ and ‘The Match Cut’. He currently co-hosts with longtime friend, Eric Samaniego, where they talk shop about the grimiest, trashiest, lost gems of movies on their show, ‘Trash in the Can’. Wright also guests and hosts reviews on Screener Squad and Highly Suspect Reviews as well as co-hosts Digital Noise with Chris Cox. As of 2024, Wright has now been inducted into the Austin Film Critics Association as well as co-owns the One of Us network with Chris Cox.
Ben Glasthal (Highly Suspect Review, Screener Squad, Breakfast Pub, Unstabletop Gamers, Video and Audio Editor)
Born in Boston, then ending up in Dallas, Texas in the early 2000s, Ben has always had a passion for film. He started in film school not long after where he launched MovieReelizations.com where he still writes reviews to this day. He’s since moved to Austin where he has been also hopping on podcasts and both editing and shooting videos for One of Us. A fan of films from almost all genres, and many that predate him more than makes sense, he is anything if not eclectic in what he’s watching at any point. For the rest of his free time, he can be found biking, drinking craft beer, being an amateur photographer, and playing video games by himself or on Twitch. He’s best found on Instagram or Twitter as @MovieReelBen.
Mike J. McAllister (Screener Squad, Staff Writer, Head Video Editor)
Mike J. McAllister is an award-winning creative jack of all trades, and is pretty competent with most of them. He is a writer, director, animator, video editor, and motion graphics artist. He has tried his hand at nearly every form of artistic expression at least once. He was born and raised in Western Pennsylvania where he fell in love with film, writing and special effects at an early age. His obsession with film would lead him to being locally known as a “human IMDb” and being on a first-name basis with every video store clerk in town. He would study film in Pittsburgh before taking his talents to Austin. Not letting something like Tourettes get in his way, he has produced a handful of animated short films that have won awards from film festivals all over the globe. He has also written several yet-to-be-produced screenplays and TV pilots, with some of them being recognized in screenwriting competitions. He has even created motion graphics and animations for several clients, from movie theaters to Twitch streamers. When not creating or watching films, he enjoys MST3K, classic video games and buying vinyl records. He loves dogs, dropping obscure pop culture trivia and watching travel videos. He currently resides in Austin Texas and can be followed on the Instamagrams at @ohheyitsmikejm. His body of work can be found at his homepage or you can take a gander at his somewhat-impressive IMDb listing here.
