Welkom in Normal, Minnesota. Population: 1890. In dit afgelegen stadje wordt voormalig rechercheur Ulysses aangesteld als tijdelijke sheriff. Wat op het eerste gezicht een slapende gemeenschap lijkt, verandert in een broeinest van geheimen en geweld wanneer een bankoverval volledig uit de hand loopt. Al snel ontdekt Ulysses dat niets of niemand is wat het lijkt. Achter de vriendelijke façade van Normal schuilt een gevaarlijk web van corruptie en verborgen allianties waarin hij steeds dieper verstrikt raakt.
- Dragonbearwizard4 uur geledenman this movie turns into senseless slop halfway through, the start is great, bob odenkirk is made for the character he plays, but it turns into a complete clownshow, betraying the first 40 minutes of the movie which promised well constructed character focused mystery. it almost feels exactly like the game "deadly premonition" where all the characters in this little town have so much character and so much potential, but it's all wasted in the name of senseless violence. the cinematography on the gunfights is afwull, truly truly afwull, there is a single fight scene near the end of the movie that has amazing coreography and camera work, much like nobody. i find it hard to recommend because i wanted to turn it off about an hour in
- Sakyosha2 dgn geledenThis was pure fun. It’s Jesse Stone mixed with Hot Fuzz, mixed with Bullet Train, mixed with Fargo – with a dash of Final Destination. See Also: 90 minutes of Chekov’s Gun. It could have used more character development - but honestly, that's not why we tune into movies like this.
- macaronz3 dgn geledenThe movie is set in a town called 'Normal' which isn't normal at all. By pure coincidence, I watched the movie Dridam right before this one, and both films follow remarkably similar storylines. They both feature a cop newly appointed to a town who gradually discovers that his own corrupt department wants him dead. Despite the familiar premise, this film is incredibly fun to watch. Bob Odenkirk delivers a good performance, and the action sequences are excellent, elevated by a great touch of satire.
- Jacob O’Neal21 april 2026Bob Odenkirk seems to have a good working relationship with writer Derek Kolstad (John Wick, Atomic Blonde, Nobody). This time, trading in his Nobody persona for a character far less self assured. In this film he plays a career interim sheriff, floating from town to town, never rocking the boat, only staying for a few weeks at a time. The town of Normal, MN would have been just another assignment had it not been for a bank robbery that sets events in motion. This movie was fun. I don’t like it as much as Nobody, but maybe a little more than Nobody 2. I liked that you never quite knew what to expect from the film. I thought it was going to be a Wicker Man/Hot Fuzz kind of story, then it shifted. I thought it was going to be a Rio Bravo/Assault On Precinct 13 story and it shifts again. I did appreciate that about the movie. Overall, it was a fun light action movie with an actual hero and a redemption arc of sorts. That seems rare in storytelling these days, so take that for what it is.
- D. Bachelor11 juni 2026If you liked Nobody (2021), this scratches a similar itch — but with a little less John Wick and a little more Wyatt Earp. Bob Odenkirk + a capable supporting cast + an absurd, deadpan storyline = cinematic junk food that hits exactly the spot it aims for. It never pretends to be more than it is, and that self‑awareness allows it hum along without straining for notes it can’t hit.
- Amouse2110 juni 2026I love what Bob has been doing lately, and this foray isnt any different. In fact quite a bit better than his last outing to be honest. A better premise, better runtime length, and a thankfully a bit more over the top. A good popcorn movie with just enough surprises to make this an interesting watch. The plot isnt breaking a lot of new ground here, but sometimes a formula works, throw in some twists, some great stunts, and you have a good action flick. If I had to be a little critical, it does something this stunt crew isnt known for doing a little too much, pushing in on the camera view a little too much. This stunt production group has been known for wider camera angles to see the action and stunt work shine. I found myself taken out of the experience by a return in too many shots to narrow camera angles and modest camera shake work. It was not incredibly too intrusive thankfully, but for this I removed some points. Otherwise, a good watch, would watch again.
