Bob Odenkirk's 2021 action thriller "Nobody" has become one of streaming's biggest hits five years after its cinema release, cementing its status as a durable alternative to the "John Wick" franchise. The film's continued popularity underlines how effectively the "Breaking Bad" and "Better Call Saul" star reinvented himself as an action lead, with the character's low-key, unglamorous style proving to have lasting appeal beyond its original box-office run.

Directed by Ilya Naishuller and written by "John Wick" creator Derek Kolstad, the film follows Hutch Mansell, an unremarkable suburban father whose violent past resurfaces after a home burglary, sparking a citywide conflict with a Russian crime boss. Unlike the increasingly stylised "John Wick" series, "Nobody" is noted for keeping its hero looking exhausted and ordinary throughout, which the article credits as key to its enduring, rewatchable appeal on streaming platforms.
