Nobody 2 4K Blu-ray Movie Review

Reviewed by Justin Dekker October 12, 2025

Bob Odenkirk reprises is role of Hutch Mansell, a dangerous man who's just trying to be a good father and husband, in 'Nobody 2' which arrives on 4K UHD disc courtesy of Universal. Working from a similar blueprint to the first film, Odenkirk is rejoined by Christopher Lloyd as his father, Connie Nielsen as his wife, RZA as his brother, in addition to Sharon Stone who appears in a villainous role. Relentlessly action-oriented and laced with comedic underpinnings, the release features a great video transfer and boisterous Dolby Atmos soundtrack. The modest assortment of on-disc supplemental features consist of deleted scenes and two segments that focus on the film's action elements. A Blu-ray disc, an embossed and spot-glossed slipcover, and a Digital Code redeemable through Movies Anywhere are also included.

When Nobody arrived on 4K UHD disc in the middle of 2021, the ending was such that it paved the way for second a second installment of Hutch's exploits, who try as he may, just can't seem to maintain a "normal" existence as a middle-aged, suburban husband and father of two. As a few years went by, I was doubtful we'd get to spend more time with Bob Odenkirk's everyman (sort of, anyway) assassin. Real life presented numerous obstacles including the COVID pandemic, Odenkirk's health, and a Hollywood strike, just to name a few. As in the first film, though, Hutch is a tough guy to keep down, and after a long delay, Nobody 2 was finally a reality.

Whether or not one will enjoy Nobody 2 will depend greatly on their impression of Nobody (2021), though the first film isn't necessarily essential viewing in order to enjoy the new chapter, though clocking in at just over 90 minutes, it would be easy enough to give it a spin. Director Timo Tjahjanto (The Night Comes for Us, May the Devil Take You) takes over the reins from Ilya Naishuller this time around, but writer Derek Kolstad returns and is joined by Aaron Rabin (Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan). The creative team, in conjunction with returning cast members Odenkirk, Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future), RZA (The Man with the Iron Fists), and Connie Nielsen (Exorcist: Believer) ensures that viewers will be getting a second slice of this cinematic pizza that tastes exactly like the first, except perhaps a bit spicier.

This is by no means a bad thing. Nobody 2 knows exactly what it is and what it exists to do, and it does those things quite well. Following a formula established with the first film, the new installment opens similarly - with an exhausted, battered, and bloody Hutch sitting in a stylistically dark interrogation room with an animal by his side. From there, the film goes back in time, the adventure unfolds, and ultimately we wind up back with him in the interrogation room. Going with the theory of "If it ain't broke don't fix it", Nobody 2 leverages some of the same story beats as the first film. As the film opens, Hutch still struggles to be a good parent, and his wife (Nielsen) still seems a bit frustrated with him. The weekly early morning garbage truck is still something of a nemesis for him. Still striving for normalcy, he's trying to be a good father by taking his family on a summer vacation, a simple goal that somehow feels doomed from the start. Lloyd's David Mansell tags along, but doesn't have much to do before the film takes its inevitable turn, and the same holds true for RZA, whose Harry, brother to Hutch, receives most of his screentime when the fighting starts.

The increased level of spiciness comes as a result of two factors: the water park setting, and the addition of Sharon Stone. Booby traps were a massive part of the climax to the first film and effectively separated it from a crowded field of action and action comedy films. As a vital part of the franchise's DNA, the booby traps return here with a vengeance, though this time, due to the setting, they are dramatically, and sometimes hilariously escalated. The fictional Plummerville, Hutch's pick for a stellar family vacation to make some memories, is highly reminiscent of the older portions of the Wisconsin Dells. For those not in the know, The Dells are billed to be the water park capital of the world with around 20 indoor and outdoor water parks packed into the the city's relatively small (comparatively) footprint. For those within driving distance, a visit or two, or even several, is all but required for parents of children of a certain age, my own included. Family friendly and watery thrills are found around every corner, including duck boat rides for those so inclined. The park where the main action of the film set is very much in line with some of the older outdoor properties still in operation there. In the film, though, once Hutch and his compadres finish their work in preparation for the final showdown, it no longer has much in common with those establishments. Booby traps are crafted into every nook and cranny of the park, allowing for a greater scale on every front; more adversaries to be fought, more numerous and more inventive traps, a greater variety of weaponry, and, of course, larger explosions. Yes, sir, making memories. No one is going to forget this vacation.

As an established Sharon Stone fan, her presence in Nobody 2 is most welcome. Her character of the villainous Lendina isn't deep or complex by any means. Her character development for her is nonexistent, and her screentime is extremely limited. But in a film like Nobody 2 that really isn't the point. Her character simply needs to be credibly evil and stand in direct opposition to Hutch's desire of having a typical midwestern family vacation, where a sunburn and unimaginative water park food are the most substantial obstacles to overcome. Stone does both of things easily and with relish. When her character is introduced, she is quickly painted as ruthless, murderous, and in complete control of a criminal empire. Every word is a menacing threat. She's quick-tempered and violent, almost cartoonishly so, and she viciously chews the scenery every second the camera is trained on her. But in films like these, that's all that's required.

Odenkirk, for his part, excels in a genre where he stands diametrically opposed to it's more traditional stars. He doesn't possess a finely chiseled jaw. His hair isn't perfect and his hairline is obviously receding. He doesn't have the kind of superhuman physique crafted from grueling hours at the gym, a team of personal trainers, and a regimented diet. There's no signature weapon, nor is there a memorable or hilarious catch-phrase. While he obviously has stand-out skills and knowledge, he never escapes unscathed, and looks increasingly the worse for wear. For all of his shady and dangerous past (and present) activities, Hutch remains very much an "everyman"; regular and relatable. He wants to do what most typical dads want to do: find his daughter's missing kitty bracelet in the first film, and go on a family vacation to waterpark in this installment. Except for Hutch, it's never that simple. It always leads to bloodshed and explosions.

Nobody 2 4K Blu-ray Movie, Video Quality 

Nobody 2's 2160p HEVC/H.265 encoded video presentation is presented in the 2.39:1 aspect ratio with Dolby Vision. Colors are very well saturated here, with the vivid primaries of the various attractions around the water park in Plummerville and clothing of those who populate it looking for watery excitement pop nicely, particularly the bright yellow of the duck boats. Some of what Hutch does is best is done in darkness, and in support of that, blacks have an inky depth. Even in these low-light settings, character and environmental details are still observable. Fine detail is high, with facial particulars of the cast easily being observable, such as Odenkirk's stubble, Lloyd's, wrinkled visage, and the fine lines on Nielsen and Stone's faces. The increasing collection of Odenkirk's wounds, from large to small, is also easy to catalog. Environmental details are also on display in the parking garage, where the ragged bumper sticker on the old vehicle provides him with the idea for the Plummerville trip, and worn and well-used water park attractions where the Mansells spend some of their summer break. Wood grain and age are also easy to spot and enjoy in their "vintage" and dated accommodations in Plummerville, making it easy to identify with Nielsen's character's reaction when she first sees it and takes it all in. Skin tones are healthy, and whites can be brilliant.

Nobody 2 4K Blu-ray Movie, Audio Quality 

The Dolby Atmos track brings life to quieter moments and mayhem alike. Satisfyingly immersive, surrounds are used to great effect to provide ambient and environmental sounds to keep the viewer in the middle of every scene, whether it be the quieter cafe setting or the busy and cacophonous arcade. Surrounds are also used to push music, sometimes as a simple background score, and other times it's given the focus, such as with Spiral Starecase's "More Today Than Yesterday" and "Come Out and Play" by The Offspring. During such moments, it's easy to appreciate the clarity and precise instrumentation along with a very impressive bass presence. The booming bass also provides the needed depth to closing doors, numerous body blows, countless gunshots, and the explosions that occur during key moments of the film. Other sound effects are well-rendered, too, with breaking glass, air rifle pops, the clattering balls in a ball pit, and other sounds presenting with great realism. Directionality is excellent, making it easy to track bodies, cars, bullets, and other objects as they make their way through the state regardless of speed. Dialogue is crisp and intelligible in all situations, and is largely kept front and center. It's an extremely busy and entertaining track.

Nobody 2 4K Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras 

Nobody 2 has been provided a very small number of on-disc supplements as detailed below.

• Deleted Scenes (8.29) - >Eight deleted scenes are included here, including a cleaner presentation of the Plummerville ad, and prepping some of the booby traps, though most are very short and don't add much to the viewing experience.

• 'Nobody 2': The Fight Continues (11.28) - Stone shares her enjoyment of the first film and being recruited for the second installment by Odenkirk. Odenkirk himself is a significant contributor here, and he's quite complimentary of the project. Others from the cast and crew weigh in as well in the film, and the increased number of characters, bigger set pieces, and more impressive action.

• Nobody Does Stunts Like Us (12.26) - Odenkirk discusses his ongoing physical training and doing stunts, while others from the cast and crew share the experience of creating and executing the numerous action scenes in the film.

Nobody 2 4K Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation 

Nobody 2 stays within the bumpers established by the first film, once again leveraging the interrogation room framing device but managing to up the ante in terms of setting, scale, and danger, while mixing in a novel but wholly appropriate setting. Odenkirk's Hutch is a relatable and realistic action hero, and while I wouldn't have imagined him playing such a part, I am hopeful for a third installment. Christopher Lloyd and Sharon Stone approach their roles with gusto, and Connie Nielsen and RZA enjoy more screentime here in terms of variety and quantity than in they did in the initial installment. For fans of the first film, Odenkirk, or actioners that aren't afraid to have a bit of fun, Nobody 2 4K is easily recommended.
