Summary:

Nobody (2021) follows the story of Hutch Mansell, a seemingly ordinary and mild-mannered suburban father and husband. He lives a quiet life, working at a metal fabrication company and dealing with the monotony of daily routine. Hutch is often underestimated and ignored, even by his own family.

One night, his house is broken into by two thieves. Rather than fighting back, Hutch allows them to leave, which causes his son and neighbors to see him as weak. However, this incident awakens something long buried inside him — a violent past that he tried to leave behind.

It turns out Hutch used to be an "auditor" — a highly skilled assassin who worked for government agencies to eliminate dangerous people. After years of trying to live a normal life, the break-in pulls him back into a world of violence.

When he defends a young woman from a group of thugs on a bus, Hutch accidentally draws the attention of a powerful Russian crime lord named Yulian Kuznetsov. This leads to an all-out war between Hutch and the Russian mafia.

Armed with his skills, wit, and a renewed sense of purpose, Hutch takes on countless enemies in brutal, fast-paced action sequences. He’s no longer trying to run from who he is — he’s embracing it.
