Better Call for a Mauling! On-Air Review of ‘Nobody’
Rating: 4.0/5.0 |
CHICAGO – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com appears on “The Morning Mess” with Scott Thompson on WBGR-FM (Monroe, Wisconsin) on March 25th, 2021, reviewing the new film “Nobody,” opening in theaters on March 26th.
Bob Odenkirk (“Better Call Saul”) as Hutch Mansell, a schlumpy suburban Dad with a typical job working in his father-in-law’s machine shop. His routine is upended by a house break-in, and when his son (Gage Monroe) tries to intervene he is called off by Dad, resulting in bad father/son feelings. Somewhat humiliated, a different side of Hutch emerges, based on a past life … It turns out he used to be a deep cover assassin (the adjuster), and his fighting tendencies surfaces against a gang of nasty guys on a bus. There’s trouble ahead when one of them is connected to the Russian mob. Featuring Christopher “Back to the Future” Lloyd as Hutch’s father, and Connie Nielsen as Mom Mansell.
