A sequel to Nobody obviously. In the first film the fun was watching comedian Bob Odenkirk play a dorky office worker who in a past life was actually an assassin for the United States Government. In this film Odenkirk basically goes back to his former profession. Odenkirk is still killing people while trying to hold his marriage together to Connie Nielsen. The fact that a guy like Odenkirk could be married to someone like Nielsen actually strains credibility more than his status as a a former hit man.
Well in this film Odenkirk and family decide to spend some bonding time while vacationing at amusement park. Since this is that kind of movie, the amusement park is a front for a drug trafficking organization run by the evil Sharon Stone and since this is that kind of movie a lot of fighting and killing is involved as Odenkirk and the family take on Stone and her minions while slowly destroying the amusement park.
The film is entertaining for a sequel because sequels usually have diminishing entertainment value for the viewer. Bob Odenkirk is a funny guy with a wry sense of humor particularly when he is beating the crap out of someone. The film also cast 86 year old Christopher Lloyd as Odenkirk's retired FBI agent father who for his age is still good at handling large scale weapons and still mighty dangerous.
Nobody 2 is entertaining but the producers should probably get a clue and not continue this series. However if there is money to be made you can be sure they will continue to wring it out of these characters and this situation.
The film was written by Derek Kolstad and Aaron Rabin, the running time is 89 minutes.
