From the streaming service that brought us last year’s MMFF faves and this year’s Pacquiao fight, brings one of this year’s highly anticipated action film ‘Nobody’ that stars Bob Odenkirk.
Upstream finally brings NOBODY to Filipino households for the first time on September 7. Currently boasting an impressive rating of 94% Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes with the critic consensus calling it a “viscerally violent thriller that smashes, shatters, and destroys plenty of other things — all while proving Bob Odenkirk has what it takes to be an action star.”
Emmy® winner Bob Odenkirk (Better Call Saul) stars as Hutch Mansell, an overlooked dad and husband, taking life’s indignities on the chin and never pushing back. But when two thieves break into his suburban home one night, Hutch declines to defend himself or his family, hoping to prevent serious violence. His teenage son, Blake (Gage Munroe, The Shack), is disappointed in him, and his wife, Becca (Connie Nielsen, Wonder Woman), seems to pull only further away. This lights a fire in Hutch’s long-simmering rage, triggering once dormant instincts and propelling him on a brutal path that will resurface dark secrets and reveal his lethal skills. In a barrage of fists, gunfire and squealing tires, Hutch must save his family from a dangerous adversary (famed Russian actor Alexey Serebryakov, Amazon’s McMafia)—and ensure that he will never be underestimated as a nobody ever again.
Directed by acclaimed Russian-born filmmaker Ilya Naishuller (2015’s Hardcore Henry), from a script by Derek Kolstad, the narrative architect of the John Wick franchise.
The stellar cast also includes the legendary Emmy®-winning actor Christopher Lloyd as Hutch’s father, David Mansell, and multi-talented musician/actor RZA as Hutch’s brother, Harry Mansell, whose own hidden talents aid Hutch in his quest for vengeance.
Nobody was easily the most physically demanding role of Odenkirk’s career. The actor spent two years training for the film and exceeded the standard of four to six weeks for an action film. One of the producers (Marc Provissiero) said that Odenkirk already started training even before there was a film to train for. Odenkirk was paired with fight coordinator Daniel Bernhardt, who trained him extensively over the course of two years.
Benjamin Lee’s review from The Guardian describes his performance from an “oh that guy” character to “an imperfect yet resilient fighter, believably hampered by age, making him a character far more thrilling to watch”.
From Universal Pictures, in association with Perfect World Pictures, stream Nobody for only P210 on Upstream.ph or visit Gmovies.ph, or download the Gmovies app. This film is available only within the Philippines.
