the actor Aleksey Serebryakov is wonderful there) advises watching a good film "Kak Vitka Chesnok vyoz Lyokhu Shtyrya v dom invalidov" (2017) and "Leviafan" (2014)
Not only a great film on it's own but an important one too. Bob Odernkirk suffered a heart attack more recently and he attributes surviving it from all the exercise he did in prep for this role. So this movie might have literally saved his life.
One thing I love about the bus scene: Bob Odenkirk’s character gets hurt pretty badly as well, not just the bad guys. It adds a bit more realism and makes it feel like a normal fight. You can't just start a fight like that and expect to come out of it without a scratch.
@@thunderlighting2006 its kinda dumb to compare Shang Chi because its a superhero film so I give it a pass in the not getting touched department. I would say both are brilliant scenes.
The bus fight scene is about as close as I've ever seen to real life in an action movie. Even if you really know what you're doing you're probably not walking away without substantial injury.
The director of this, Ilya Naishuller, also directed the first person perspective action movie Hardcore Henry, and also got his start directing first-person action music videos for his band, Biting Elbows, and still does I believe. The most recent ones I know of is the two part story music video they did, Heartache, and Control. Love his style, definitely recommend for anyone interested!
The sniper rifle scenes were so dope. Don't know how they came up with close quarters choreography with a sniper rifle, so creative. That triple head shot, my mind immediately went to video game trophies as well.
I remember one time I was playing Solider of Fortune 2 MP with my clan - and I pulled off his multi kill single shot sniper dealie. It reminded me of it so much - especially since the Soldier of Fortune games were big on dismemberment lol
I don't know there is a reversed clip, but when he first breaks the glass and shoots a couple of guys in the parking lot (22:01) the rifle he's using appears to be a left-hand bolt variant. The rest of the shots seem to be a right hand bolt variant.
Glad you reacted to this one. In my opinion one of the best movies of the last decade and it might even be the most enjoyable movie I have ever seen. I usually have a bit of an issue with the term feel-good movie and I don't think this would categorize as one. But hell, this was definately a Feel-Good movie for me.
23:16 is one of my favorite reactions from you, because my was my reaction as well, and this movie deserves these kind of reactions, because it's awesome. It was also directed by Ilya Naishuller, who previously directed Hardcore Henry, which is another absolute banger of a movie (it's actually my all-time favorite movie) that you gotta check out some time.
it's the 'little' touches in the film that are such a joy: the smile on his face when he's in the car & the Pat Benetar music kicks in, & the slight high pitched inflection in the tattooist's voice when he realises Hutch must be a badass.! lol
What I like about that fight scene on the bus is it is not one sided, like so many movie fight scenes. Both sides are taking punches and taking damage. It feels like a real fight.
As soon as I watched Nobody, I had to come straight to your channel and crossed my fingers that you'd done a reaction to it to see your perspective on it. Great reaction to a great movie 👍
Two guys who tried to kill MCs dad actually Naishuller himself (on left) and musician Shnur (on right), leader of band Leningrad, for which Naishuller made a few music videos, he's also had cameo in Hardcore Henry
Thing procedure he did to the kid on the bus is known as a tracheostomy, or. Trich. I learned how to perform it in while in training to be a Fmf naval Corpsmen.
I have to admit that I loved this the first time I saw it and watched it again the next day and loved just as much, 2 films that are definitely worth watching, that are a bit like a cross between "Nobody" and "The Expendables", are "RED" (2010) and "RED 2" (2013), Staring Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirren, Richard Dreyfuss, Brian Cox, Anthony Hopkins and Karl Urban, action packed with a good dose of humour.
Not sure if you've ever watched Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, but they are arguably the greatest and most cinematic television series' of all time. Bob Odenkirk plays a huge role in both shows and I think you would absolutely love it.
You're reaction to the triple is the appropriate reaction I wanted because it was the exact reaction I had. This movie has so many of those "bro this shit is so cool a creative" moments.
You got a sub today my man love your insight when reacting to these films bc I get a lot of education and info on filmmaking stuff which I think is cool.
Such a great movie. I like it far more than the Wick and Bourne movies because it's grittier, and feels a lot more realistic. Another great one with similar action is Peppermint starring Jennifer Garner.
The script was written by the same screenwriter [Derek Kolstad] who also wrote the first three John Wick films, he has stated this movie takes place in the same world (although the films are done by different studios so probably no crossover, but stranger things have happened).
ever see a movie filmed in your home town and all you can do is fixate on the background and all the stuff you recognize? filmed in winnipeg, hometown!
I finally watched this movie tonight. It's such a shame it wasn't marketed better because the only way I heard about it was through seeing everyone react to it. I figured I had to check it out and I was definitely not disappointed.
As to the watch Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul first question- no doubt at all, gotta do BB first! You’d miss some of the masterful way BCS was created within the parameters of the universe BB put together! BB means so much more after watching BCS… both are top tier 🏆
0:18 Did you say "Breaking back"?)) Could be an interesting tv show)) And about Nobody. It was directed by russian director. He also directed a movie Hardcore Henry(and it's shot pretty cool). And in both movies he did shot real russians actors, and even one singer(in Nobobdy that russian singer came to Cristopler Lloyd in hospital and put a gun to his head). And in Harcore Henry there was a russian videobloger in a action scene, but only for a second.
Shit I just lost my dog...and didn't realize it was you commenting....but yes this movie tried to highlight he was avoid violence at all cost until they fucked with is family.
You should check out some behind the scenes for this movie. Bob was definitely on some John Wick type of training for this movie. I love it when actors do most of the stunts and action scenes themselves. It really helps to sell the realism of the movie.
if you still can't get enough Odenkirk, you really should check out the show he did with David Cross: "Mr Show with Bob & David" -- just stellar, stellar comedy from a wide cast of "oh hey i didn't know they were in that!"
Yo there is this new show called "The Old Man" with Jeff Bridges and John Lithgow. Its kinda like Nobody but its a drama series so its more drawn out and plot heavy. but its dope.
One of the things I love about this movie is how they do a good job of portraying the villain as a complete psycho without just saying he is, but then the hero turns out to be *way* crazier. And neither feels inauthentic.
Two things... First, while the pillows obviously represented the "wall" between them, I don't think that was their intended practical purpose. There was a light shining through their window, possibly from an angle that drapes/shades/etc. couldn't block, that shone directly on Becca's face. I think the pillows were just meant to block the light, and then became representative of more in their relationship. Second, I see this as an unofficial (sorta) sequel to Grosse Pointe Blank. I realize their "occupations" were slightly different, as well as many other plot points, but it feels like where you could see Martin and Debi 20 years later. 🤷♀️
Oh no! I think you missed the post credit scene! Super funny, go back if you get the chance. Love this movie so much. Christopher Lloyd MVP! Loved watching you get so hyped!
Thank you for the comment about finishing your food! It annoys me so much that so many people in TV and Movies just get up and leave a full or half eaten plate. Even more annoying is how many just treat it as natural. At least in this one, he's pissed about it.
I loved this film. The final battle in the workplace was a little over the top but by that time I was enjoying the movie so much I loved it even more because of it. Just a fun movie. Another movie I enjoyed almost as much as this was Shoot'em Up with Clive Owen, its an over the top movie that knows it's over the top and is extremely enjoyable to watch.
Has no one mentioned that this movie is written by Derek Kolstad, who also writes for the John Wick franchise? A lot of the similar vibes and parallels/contrasts in Nobody must be on purpose. And it also ends up a kickass and enjoyable movie! Loved seeing you have a good time with this. Now we wait for John Wick Chapter 4 🔪
Off-Topic: RUclips will never convince me to go "Ad-Free" when they make funny commercials with adorable meerkats that sound like Taika Waititi and weird dudes in kimonos.
Awesome! This is such an under-known and under-appreciated movie. Also, about the John Wick comparison: "Derek Kolstad (who wrote the two movies) says both films exist in the same universe."
So glad you enjoyed this movie. I love it. I went in to it totally blind and was blown away. Since you liked this you really need to check out Upgrade. Another movie with some amazing fight scenes.
I love this movie so much. I can think of two movies I watched three times in three days. This and the first Avengers (Avengers was with family, me alone in 3d imax, and again family imax). I can’t count the amount times I’ve seen this one. 👍😈
Could you imagine the DeLorean coming back from time and Doc Brown coming out of the car with a shotgun blasting bad guys?! Lol yeah, this movie is too much fun. That sounds sadistic but you know
I don't know if you've already seen it, but you should watch "The Man from Nowhere", a Korean movie from 2010 which basically laid the foundation for films like this, the "Taken" and the "John Wick" series of movies. I believe the director of the "John Wick" movies was inspired by that movie.
The portrayal of the main character (besides having Mr. Lloyd in it and the action) is what really made this movie much more enjoyable. It's pretty much what made the Bourne movies more enjoyable. That is to NOT have the main hero some roided out bastard who can bench press a bus, who's wearing 15 layers of plot armor to keep them form any serious injury, but instead to have a guy who is just a guy. Who doesn't have size or strength advantage over his opponents, but is cunning and resourceful to make up for it.
A few notes of my own... Nobody tells his son to let the guy go not because he fears the burglars but because he fears leaving this life and going back to who he was. As weird as it sounds, he was actually kind of happy being miserable and mediocre. The bus scene is so good not just because the choreography and editing, but because it shows how he goes from rusty to remembering all his old skills - he visibly gets better at fighting during the fight.
There’s also a mid-credit scene that is pretty funny if you haven’t seen it. I was hoping you’d show it as well but I guess nobody warned you about it. I really enjoyed this movie though. I’m curious who called him when he and his wife were house shopping? Maybe setting up for a sequel where the rest of the Russian mob, or maybe another group affiliated with them, comes after him or something? They left that open ended by not letting us hear the call and not having him say anything. I wouldn’t mind a sequel though, especially if it’s as good as this was!

Can you attempt to react to " Carter" next ? Amazing camera work your audience will appreciate.
New Netflix movie
you need to see the new Chainsaw Man trailer
the actor Aleksey Serebryakov is wonderful there) advises watching a good film "Kak Vitka Chesnok vyoz Lyokhu Shtyrya v dom invalidov" (2017) and "Leviafan" (2014)
Not only a great film on it's own but an important one too. Bob Odernkirk suffered a heart attack more recently and he attributes surviving it from all the exercise he did in prep for this role. So this movie might have literally saved his life.
That’s incredible! Did not know this! Happy he’s okay!
@@JamesVSCinema It happened on the set of Better Call Saul.
also better call saul would be a great show to react to
aw man
I really enjoyed, bought it on 4k disc.
One thing I love about the bus scene: Bob Odenkirk’s character gets hurt pretty badly as well, not just the bad guys. It adds a bit more realism and makes it feel like a normal fight. You can't just start a fight like that and expect to come out of it without a scratch.
one of the main reasons why I didn't really like Shang-chi bus scene Nobody is extremely better
@@thunderlighting2006 its kinda dumb to compare Shang Chi because its a superhero film so I give it a pass in the not getting touched department. I would say both are brilliant scenes.
The bus fight scene is about as close as I've ever seen to real life in an action movie. Even if you really know what you're doing you're probably not walking away without substantial injury.
Hence why I loved his character. I’m assuming he did all those stunts himself yeah?
@@JamesVSCinema Odenkirk does most of his own stunts, but I think the bus fight was all him.
@YT sure you were

Did he also direct the music video for The Weeknd's 'False Alarm'?
Hardcore Henry was one nauseating awesomness.
@@samuelchris5853 Oh shit, he did actually! I didn't even put that one together, but as soon as you pointed it out I could see it.
@@worldofgreenhell that’s a pretty accurate description
hes amazing, i loved everything he done so far, extremely talented and creative, im super happy to see him get into bigger movies
The sniper rifle scenes were so dope. Don't know how they came up with close quarters choreography with a sniper rifle, so creative. That triple head shot, my mind immediately went to video game trophies as well.
HEADSHOT!!!! NO SCOPE!! TRIPLE KILL!!!! 😆😎
I remember one time I was playing Solider of Fortune 2 MP with my clan - and I pulled off his multi kill single shot sniper dealie. It reminded me of it so much - especially since the Soldier of Fortune games were big on dismemberment lol
my fave moment is when he flips the rifle, shooting someone behind him, letting the recoil smash the butt into the face of the guy in front of him.
Definitely a Steam achievement. "Kill 3 enemies at the same time with a a single shot" 0.0005% of players have this achievement
I don't know there is a reversed clip, but when he first breaks the glass and shoots a couple of guys in the parking lot (22:01) the rifle he's using appears to be a left-hand bolt variant. The rest of the shots seem to be a right hand bolt variant.
Never have I thought I would see a badass, gun-wielding Dr. Emmett Brown in an action movie, but I’m all here for it. Best part in my opinion lmao 😂
The final fight felt a lot like an (even more) violent version of Home Alone
Hahaha right?
Glad you reacted to this one. In my opinion one of the best movies of the last decade and it might even be the most enjoyable movie I have ever seen.
I usually have a bit of an issue with the term feel-good movie and I don't think this would categorize as one.
But hell, this was definately a Feel-Good movie for me.
I could watch this over and over honestly!
@@JamesVSCinema if you do there is an after-credits scene.
RZA with the rifle had me losing my shit when I first watched this. That over the shoulder shot to hit the guy with the recoil was insane!
That was such a cool moment. The creativity with the action, while still feeling gritty and grounded, was absolutely amazing in this film.
This film was mad entertaining, Bob Odenkirk absolutely nailed it🔥
I could watch this over and over
Mr O is awesome.
12:53 “Who would’ve thought the pillow would’ve gotten an arc?!” 😝🤘

I want a trilogy immediately!!! Very fun and very creative!!
Best lines in the movie, let's go!
Hutch: You brought a lot of shotguns.
David: You brought a lot of Russians.
So stone cold!
I have been waiting for you to see this! This has instantly become a favorite movie of mine in terms of being able to rewatch after I first saw this.
18:39 On the left is the director of the film Ilya Naishuller.

one of the guys in the bus fight is
1. Ronny in Barry
2.the agent from matrix reloaded (jumps on car in freeway)
The only thing better than watching this film is watching Jim watch this film. Brilliant.

Yo there is this new show called "The Old Man" with Jeff Bridges and John Lithgow. Its kinda like Nobody but its a drama series so its more drawn out and plot heavy. but its dope.

THIS movie was so epic yoooooooo they should make a sequel
Watched it once when it came out. Gonna watch it again right now, thanx 2 u! 💯🔥🤙🏽😎
I love this movie. It's tight, fun, and action packed.
Oh hell yeah. Btw can't wait for your The Boys season 3 reactions. That season was insane! All the luck to ya.
Withnail & I, Contact, and Sling Blade. Come on Patreon folks, lets get a reaction from James!
Good to see you do this one.
You missed the post-credit scene! It’s so good!
I hope you gonna react to BCS at some point. Their camera work and character development was simply amazing
Enjoyed your reaction to this movie. Not sure if you saw it or just edited it out, but there was a mid credits scene.
Rewatching this after Barry - the guy who got the chair lobbed at him was Ronny!
Good popcorn flick. Plus it was cool seeing Michael Ironside in a film again. Blink and you'll miss him.
Probably the best mix of Home Alone, First Blood and Leon the Professional I've ever seen :D
Hutch and Wick are equally good at what they do. The difference is the Hutch LOVES doing what they do.
Did you catch the end with Dad and brother?
"You don't need a gun. Just get a really dope bat." is a sentiment I vibe with 👊🤨😄
The anti Wick! It’s the exact opposite of Johns story even down to the Cat and not a dog. I love this film!
GIVE ME THE GODAMN KITTY CAT BRACELET !!
Said that with his entire soul hahaha. Such great delivery 😭
You might want to check out "Shoot 'Em Up" (2007) with
Actors: Clive Owen and Paul Giamatti.
So glad to see this one! Also, can’t believe you haven’t seen breaking bad - can’t wait to get into that one with you!
Okay, does anyone else want a 'Nobody' and 'John Wick' cross-over as much as I do?
Finally Nobody -movie!
Nobody turned out to be one great movie! Christopher Lloyd was awesome
Cool movie, and shot in my city. An old coworker of mine did some of the stunt work.
Nobody 2 is a must.
So glad you enjoyed this movie. I love it. I went in to it totally blind and was blown away. Since you liked this you really need to check out Upgrade. Another movie with some amazing fight scenes.
I liked the video before I started it, such a good movie man. Knew you'd love it!
I love this movie so much.
I can think of two movies I watched three times in three days.
This and the first Avengers (Avengers was with family, me alone in 3d imax, and again family imax).
I can’t count the amount times I’ve seen this one. 👍😈
I was weak when karaoke mob boss walked in the ER and threw a chair at the bodyguard. Lmao
Loved it, can't wait for part 2.
I watched it thrice.
Subbed. Thank you for this.
EDIT: Also keep in mind he is 58 years old in this. So he might as well be John Wick's older brother.
Could you imagine the DeLorean coming back from time and Doc Brown coming out of the car with a shotgun blasting bad guys?! Lol yeah, this movie is too much fun. That sounds sadistic but you know
Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul are a MUST! A Filmmakers Wet Dream.
I’m so psyched to see your reactions to The Boys
The final credits scene is not here, so I’m hoping the Patrons on Patreon got the reaction to that fun nugget!?!
I don't know if you've already seen it, but you should watch "The Man from Nowhere", a Korean movie from 2010 which basically laid the foundation for films like this, the "Taken" and the "John Wick" series of movies. I believe the director of the "John Wick" movies was inspired by that movie.
18:49 made my whole entire day 👏🏿✨ Bravo Bravo 🔥🔥

The bus scene is so good not just because the choreography and editing, but because it shows how he goes from rusty to remembering all his old skills - he visibly gets better at fighting during the fight.
Pretty sure it's also because he could see the gun wasn't loaded so they weren't a real threat so not worth causing a fuss over.
also: Nobody has demonstrated to me that "Red-Band Home Alone" should be a subgenre of action films.
There’s also a mid-credit scene that is pretty funny if you haven’t seen it. I was hoping you’d show it as well but I guess nobody warned you about it. I really enjoyed this movie though. I’m curious who called him when he and his wife were house shopping?
