Timo Tjahjanto picks up the story of Bob Odenkirk's Hutch Mansell, the killer working for powerful people. Forced to bust his ass to pay for all the Russian mob money he burned in the first film, Hutch is himself burning out. He is working so much that he needs to go on vacation to reconnect to his family. With his father in tow, the family Mansell goes to the one place they went to when he was kid, Plummerville, the home of a grand amusement park. However, when Hutch's sone gets into a fight Hutch finishes it and ends up colliding with an evil crime family headed by a psychotic Sharon Stone.
Running a breezy 89 minutes NOBODY 2 moves like the wind. Violence and humor mix as Hutch tries to stay clear of things but it all goes banana shaped and results in bodies dropping. While not as tight narratively as the first film, this one goes for big set pieces that carry the day. The violence is so extremely well done that you probably won't mind that you can feel that it feels like they removed about 15 minutes.
I had a blast, and I like everyone around me laughed and cheered repeatedly.
If I was to quibble it would be with villain Sharon Stone who is either a really mannered terrifying psycho or giving one of the worst performances of the year, I'm not sure which.
Highly recommended, NOBODY 2 is a popcorn must see.
