Our TV movie pick for tonight (Tuesday, 12 August) is Nobody, the excellent 2021 film that saw Bob Odenkirk surprisingly and successfully go full action man.
In the box office hit, the Better Call Saul actor plays a seemingly ordinary husband and father named Hutch Mansell, whose family is the victim of a home invasion.
After Hutch is seen as a failure for not standing up to the thieves, he sets out to retrieve what the criminals stole from him and his wife (Connie Nielsen, Gladiator).
Doing so, however, sets off a chain of events that threatens to drag Hutch back to his mysterious, violent past that he swore decades ago to leave behind.
Nobody was written by Derek Kolstad, the creator of the John Wick franchise.
It also features amongst its cast Aleksei Serebryakov (McMafia), Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future), Colin Salmon (Resident Evil), Michael Ironside (Starship Troopers) and RZA (The Man with the Iron Fists).
The movie has gone on to be seen as a bit of a modern action classic.
This is thanks to its terrific against-type lead performance from Odenkirk, its fun screenplay, and its bone-crunching action set-pieces.
In fact, its sequel - titled Nobody 2 - arrives in cinemas this week on Friday, 15 August. The follow-up sees brilliant Indonesian action filmmaker Timo Tjahjanto (The Night Comes for Us) succeeding Ilya Naishuller (Hardcore Henry) in the director's chair.
Holding an 84% Rotten Tomatoes score, the original Nobody is airing on TV tonight on Film4 at 9pm.
It should also be available to stream on Channel 4's website after it airs.
