  • NOBODY

    From August Abolins@2:221/1.58 to All on Sun Jul 18 09:40:00 2021
    Hello All!

    Just watched NOBODY last night. Very good. Never boring. I
    liked its overall dark atmosphere, protagonist with a
    mysterious past, the chain of consequences.. and a because of
    his daughter's missing kittybracelet. The mob boss psychopath
    was excellent.

    It is not unlike something I could picture Bruce Willis in as
    the lead, but this seemed fresh and different.

    There's a short scene about a minute or two after the start of
    the credits.

    The story ending is structured to be open for a sequel or "more
    to the story".

    Another film that depicts a character that is unwittingly
    involved with the mob is "The Drop" (2014)

    I forgot to mention.. that the film had a very cool selection
    of music throughout.

    The film was reminiscent of what Quentin Tarantino might
    produce. The stylized and choreographed fighting scenes were
    well executed and well edited.

    The music and the wild/crazy action scenes are what reminded me
    of the Tarantino style.

    Some humour, but never in a cheap or disposable way.

    The scene with him reaching into his jacket pocket during
    "interrogation" is memorable. The film provides the backstory
    for that very nicely.

    It's written by the same guy who wrote John Wick. I can definitely see the similarities.

    I'm reading some of the comparisons now. I did not realize that
    the same writers were involved in both. I'm also reading that
    the lead actor in Nobody did most of his stunts; that's
    impressive. I really liked the "booby trap" elements in
    Nobody.

    I have John Wick poised and ready to watch, maybe later
    tonight.
