“Nobody 2” brings us back to a world where the protagonist, at first glance, doesn’t stand out from the crowd, but as soon as someone crosses his path, everything that can be smashed to pieces starts flying around. This is an ordinary action movie that doesn’t even try to pretend to be something more, but that’s its honesty.

There are no complicated moral dilemmas or deep dramatic lines here, only bright fights, explosions, shootouts and caricaturedly evil antagonists whose motivations are clear from the first shot. And yes, you know how it will end from the first minute, but that’s not the point. The point is to turn off your brain once in a while and get a pure adrenaline rush from an old-fashioned mahacha, where fists speak louder than words.

Villains — are as caricatured as possible. Their behavior and lines are reminiscent of comic book villains from the days when no one was ashamed to make a fake laugh and a “I’m bad because I have to be” grimace. The motivation is clear from the first second, and already in the opening scenes you can accurately guess who will get hit in the head in the finale, how and when. All of this sounds like a disadvantage, but in this case — it’s part of the game. They simply did not plan to make an intellectual drama with action elements.

The movie exists to turn off your brain in the evening, collapse in your chair, and enjoy a frankly stupid but colorful flick. The staging of the battles looks spectacular: there are bloody moments, spectacular stunts, and choreography that feels alive, not sterile, as in many modern blockbusters. The director clearly understands that the audience came for a spectacle, and he gives it to them head on.

Sharon Stone, on the other hand, is too caricatured. Her character is evil simply because the script needs an evil character, and we are never given any other reason. It’s like she’s from another movie — one where everyone is playing a satirical parody.

The music, the cinematography, the editing are all within the norm. There are some cool visual moments when explosions are filmed in slow motion, or when the camera goes through a fight in one motion. The soundtrack is not impressive, but it doesn’t spoil the picture either, it just enhances the action without distracting.
