Bob Odenkirk’s Nobody ends on an explosive note. Here’s everything that goes down in the movie’s finale, along with its mid-credits scene.
Released in 2018, Tjahjanto’sThe Night Comes for Usis arguably one of the best action movies Netflix has released in the past 10 years. The Indonesian action film, which featuresThe Raidstar Iko Uwais in a key role, features bloody, brutal, and expertly-choreographed hand-to-hand fight sequences.The Night Comes for Uscurrently enjoys a strong 91% critics' score onRotten Tomatoes, with the audience score also high at 82%. Before this, Tjahjanto also directed action movies likeHeadshot(2016) andKillers(2014).
In fact, Tjahjanto is coming intoNobody 2with more action movie experience than Naishuller did in 2021. Before helming the Odenkirk flick, Naishuller’s only real action movie was 2015’sHardcore Henry, which, despite an interesting first-person point-of-view, earned mixed reviews. It remains to be seen howNobody 2will compare to the original, but Tjahjanto’s involvement as director is certainly a promising sign.
