Written by John Wick’s Derek Kolstad, Nobody is a wild and gory action thriller that fans of Extraction won't want to miss. Reaching into his deadly bag of old tricks, he sets off on a savage spree of bloodshed to assuage his bruised ego. His wife and kids are disappointed by his apparent cowardice, and it proves to be the final straw before Hutch's long-simmering rage catches fire. When two robbers break into his home, he writes them off as desperate kids and refuses to defend himself, hoping they'll take what they need and leave them alone. Rather, Odenkirk uses his experience as a jumping-off point for a tale of a family man with a secret past - Hutch Mansell, who breaks bad following a burglary at his home. That's not to say Nobody is a true story. Bob Odenkirk goes from Better Call Saul to brutal antihero in this thriller inspired by his own harrowing experiences with home break-ins. Nobody stars a similar but less likely hero than Extraction. If you're looking for more Hemsworth-led thrills, definitely check this one out. It's helmed by Joseph Kosinski, the director of Top Gun: Maverick, and written by Deadpool writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. Spiderhead sports an A-list ensemble both in front of and behind the camera. It's an uncanny and gripping reflection on real-world institutions that poses some interesting moral quandaries, like a Black Mirror episode fleshed out into a feature-length movie.
He tries so hard to be disarming and relatable to the prisoners that it sets off alarm bells early on, but the slow reveal of exactly what horrors are going on behind the scenes keeps you on the edge of your seat. Hemsworth shows off his range as Steve Abnesti, the affable benefactor of a state-of-the-art penitentiary where prisoners get injected with mind-melding, experimental chemicals in exchange for a lighter sentence.
It's part prison drama and part psychological thriller with a healthy dose of sci-fi and dystopian Big Brother motifs thrown in. Spiderhead feels like a cross between Shutter Island and 1984.
