In July 2021, I watched the film
Nobody at Movix Kameari. The action
movie was released in 2021
The story follows an ordinary
middle-aged man who has led a dull life and starts to get villains on the
occasion of an incident.
I had expected that the story
would describe a dull middle-aged man who feels despair in his life, becomes
desperate and explodes in the end like a man in Unhinged, however, the protagonist's identity was quite incredible,
though he looks to be dull like the man played by Russell Crowe and he is not
too strong to overwhelm the thugs in a bus fight despite his incredible
identity. I liked how realistically his strength is described anyway. Bob
Odenkirk played well as the middle-aged man. If a tough and handsome actor like
Tom Cruise and Keanu Reeves have acted the man, the action scenes would have
been cooler. I like a unique air that the subdued Odenkirk has, though.
By the way, I vaguely got
curious about the ages of the three actors and I checked them. Odenkirk is the
same age as Cruise and he is Reeves' senior by two years. All of them are the
same generation. Although Odenkirk looks his age, yet Cruise and Reeves look
amazingly young for their ages.
Before watching it, I had expected that the movie
would encourage exhausted middle-aged men, then until I watched it in the
middle, I had thought that it was saying that you should not underestimate
middle-aged men and that you should not show off, however, I gradually realized
that I was wrong. The protagonist is quite strong for me who have totally
recognized how much my strength has declined, so I cannot identify with him at
all. In fact, you cannot have an illusion that you can fight a group of young
thugs who are used to when you have become middle-aged as long as you have received
special training and have taken part in battle missions for many years or who have
your physical gift and have kept on building up your body.
The
flick is an entertainment action in which a weak looking middle-aged man will
change on an occasion and start to fight the villains. Viewers might as well
just casually enjoy watching the awesome action scenes. I made a mistake in how
to enjoy it from the beginning. I will easily watch it just as an entertainment
next time.
