…he and his allies rig Home Alone-style death traps for an infinite wave of anonymous assailants…
The big, violent finale set in a booby-trapped amusement park plays like “Home Alone” on a bloodier, R-rated sugar high.
…there’s also some Home Alone-style booby-trap action that makes for entertaining viewing.
The creative finale comes close, though, with a carnival outfitted with various landmines, grenades, and assorted Home Alone-style traps.
…including opening with an interrogation and using a Home Alone inspired shootout as its climax…
The finale, a bloodier Home Alone style battle in a water park…
It is National Lampoon’s Vacation by way of John Wick…
…it just can't help feeling like an attempted "John Wick" knockoff once again…
…no intenta replicar el tono “cool” de antihéroes como John Wick…
The action in the film isn’t nearly as clean as that of John Wick, but it is every bit as violent.
…stronger titles such as The Raid or John Wick…
Es una progresión similar a las que fueron haciendo las secuelas de «John Wick», la otra gran creación de su guionista Derek Kolstad…
There’s nary a breather between set-pieces, and an eye-popping number of sly references to the genre’s forebearers (at one moment, a slash-and-dash nod to Takashi Miike’s Ichi the Killer; at another, a very small call-back to the mace Gogo Yubari wields in Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill, itself inspired by Jimmy Wang Yu’s Master of the Flying Guillotine).
Nobody 2 delivers the action-packed chaos that the first movie offered, but it gives up the nuance it had in its commentary on settling down.
The original Nobody took an unlikely action star in Bob Odenkirk (Better Call Saul) and made a badass flick that has long lingered since its release in 2021.
Following up on the 2021 original, Nobody 2 catches up with Hutch Mansell (Bob Odenkirk) fully back in the role of assassin-for-hire gig.
While the original Nobody was directed by Ilya Naishuller…
Four years ago, Bob Odenkirk surprised and delighted audiences with his sort of anti-John Wick action movie, Nobody.
Following the explosive events of the first film, Bob Odenkirk's Hutch Mansell is attempting to maintain a low profile and establish a normal life with his family.
Blood-soaked Indonesian martial arts flick "Headshot" is for anyone who liked " The Bourne Identity ," but wished it were way more violent.
Indonesian action star Iko Uwais plays an amnesiac hoodlum dragged back into a world of violence in this bone-breaking and bloody mash-up of Kill Bill and The Bourne Identity.
Headshot has a pretty succinct pitch: “The Bourne Identity meets Kill Bill starring Iko Uwais”.
The plot is very much The Bourne Identity , if Jason Bourne were covered in blood through most of the film.
That plot is familiar to you, because you’ve seen The Bourne Identity , featuring the nearly-drowned-super-killer-with-amnesia and maybe even The Raid , featuring Uwais.
…las comedias estivales de Pedro Lazaga y Mariano Ozores tipo 'Verano 70' o 'Cuarenta grados a la sombra'…
Half Die Hard, half National Lampoon’s Vacation…
…the now-moldy dadsploitation rage that kicked off with Liam Neeson’s hit turn in Taken more than 15 years ago…
…it tries and fails to namecheck the kind of balletic choreography of stronger titles such as The Raid or John Wick…
If you’ve been a fan of Indonesian film since Gareth Huw Evans one-upped modern action cinema with 2011’s The Raid: Redemption and then again with 2014’s The Raid 2, or if you liked Indonesian film before it was cool thanks to either Merantau, Evans’ 2009 sophomore effort, or Macabre, Tjahjanto and Stamboel’s first feature collaboration, then you’re probably already jonesing for Headshot and the sweet release of brutally kinetic fight scenes where human beings sustain more injuries per second than anyone should be able to take before dropping dead.
The Raid is a high bar to set for action movies, but since it’s my only frame of reference for Indonesian action cinema, it is, for better or worse, the standard I set for similar movies.
I’m don’t want to compare Headshot to Gareth Evans’ intangible duology with Uwais, The Raid 1 and 2, but it’s unavoidable.
His debut film “Merantu” set the stage for his breakout role in “The Raid,” which he followed with “The Raid 2,” and a part in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” which you probably blinked and missed.
This lethally brutal exercise in Indonesian martial-arts mayhem — featuring the charismatic Iko Uwais (“The Raid” franchise), a living, breathing action figure and Indonesia’s best-known martial-arts star — is definitely not for the squeamish nor anyone who has just eaten lunch.
'Nadie 2' no anda muy alejada tampoco de 'Padre no hay más que uno (el número que sea)'…
National Lampoon's Vacation (1983)
Directed by Harold Ramis
influenced Nobody 2 (2025)
Themes Plot Characters
Half Die Hard, half National Lampoon’s Vacation…
It is National Lampoon’s Vacation by way of John Wick…
To save his family, Hutch decides to take everyone to an old amusement park he loved as a kid, effectively making Nobody 2 the spiritual and violent successor to National Lampoon’s Vacation.
This is no National Lampoon’s Vacation and Tiki Rush is certainly no Wally World.
Plummerville has echoes of Wally World from National Lampoon’s Vacation (1983), which I don’t think was an accident as Nobody 2′s trailer used that franchise’s “Holiday Road” song.
Who knew Hutch had an inner Clark Griswold?
…channeling Snow White’s evil queen with a heavy dose of Pacino’s Scarface…
Lendina wants to be Frank White (Christopher Walken, King of New York, 1990)…
…much like “Wonder World” in BEVERLY HILLS COP III, beneath the noisy, colorful attractions lurks a major criminal enterprise…
At least it’s occasionally fun seeing Sharon Stone channel Joan Allen in Death Race with the scenery-chewing delivery of ceaselessly profane dialogue.
…from the bargain-bin classic The Beekeeper to the criminally underseen The Shadow Strays…
John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023)
Directed by Chad Stahelski
influenced by The Night Comes For Us (2018)
Visuals
Stylistic appeal blends Akira Kurosawa with Walter Hill, or Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon with Indonesia’s massive genre movement à la The Raid to The Night Comes For Us , because John Wick movies have always been at their best when ignoring bulkier, bodyslammy American tendencies.

Bob Odenkirk («Breaking Bad», «Better Call Saul»)…
Odenkirk was widely known for playing the wise-cracking, sleazy lawyer Saul Goodman in the hit TV shows Breaking Bad (2008-2013) and Better Call Saul (2015-2022).
…hence the casting of Better Call Saul’s Bob Odenkirk…
…his sketchy Saul Goodman lawyer persona from “Breaking Bad” and “Better Call Saul.”

Odenkirk was widely known for playing the wise-cracking, sleazy lawyer Saul Goodman in the hit TV shows Breaking Bad (2008-2013) and Better Call Saul (2015-2022).
Though a few years have passed since the inaugural Nobody installment, this Breaking Bad veteran still nails the character’s wildly dissonant sides.
