Bob Odenkirk returns as the under-the-radar assassin in this action sequel.

Hutch is working missions to pay off his debt from the first film but takes a break for a family vacation. However, following a fight in an arcade, he finds himself embroiled in the criminal activity of the town, teaming up with corrupt amusement park owner Wyatt to take down sadistic crime boss Lendina.

While the original has the iconic bus fight scene, this successor features an equally entertaining brawl in an arcade, utilising the equipment for an almost comical battering. Later on, the final battle at the amusement park is cleverly executed due to the Home Alone-style traps and truly cinematic thanks to its explosive finale at the hands of Hutch’s dad.

Any caring father would have intervened at the arcade but it was unnecessary for Hutch to get further involved by rescuing Max, a situation that didn’t directly concern him and put his family in additional danger, all the more so when Max was the aggravator in the fight with Brady. Furthermore, Becca’s pleas for Hutch to avoid violence are unjustified as she married and had children with him knowing of his assassin background.

Like its predecessor, Nobody 2 is a fun and fast-paced 90 minute thriller that succeeds in its simplicity.
