Nobody

I watched the movie Nobody, which stars Bob Odenkirk (Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul) as an action hero, in the style of, say, Bruce Willis in Die Hard.

He plays an accountant at an engineering firm whose house gets invaded by robbers with guns. As a setup it is pretty well done and sharply edited.  Odenkirk also feels the various knocks and bashes he gets and spends a fair amount of time on the ground.

It reminded me of simpler times, when a movie was a movie, rather than a franchise. And it ran for the B-length of 90 minutes, so I guess it was impressive to get everything squeezed into the snappy run-time. 

And let's face it, it's an unrepentant action-movie, more of a black comedy than, say, a revenge thriller.  

This was a long way from the Saul Goodman of Breaking Bad, and I guess Odenkirk deserves kudos for taking on action movies at this stage in his career. 

The lengthy US 2:59 trailer is a bit of a spoiler as well...
