I wanted to love Nobody, because Bob Odenkirk is awesome, but holy shit is it bad. Just watch John Wick. It's the exact same movie but way better.

Yeah, this movie started off like, "Oh yeah, this movie's going to be awesome!" Then the opening scene ended, and I though, "Changed my mind, this movie sucks." The showdowns at the end had me all, "Ok...Ok...you redeemed yourself a bit. Not enough to make me forget the long, shitty second act, but you redeemed yourself some." I then though, "Uhhh, when is the Mortal Kombat tournament going to happen?"Best part of Mortal Kombat was the opening scene and the final fight scene. Basically anything that had to do with Hanzo/Scorpion & Bi-Han/Sub Zero.
Good casting with Kano & Kung Lao. 6/10
It lacked in areas though.
What's the ratio of good vs bad movies he's done?
I've got him at two good movies (Sixth Sense and Unbreakable), a couple of movies that aren't good but aren't offensively bad, and then just a giant pile of horrendous shit like The Happening and The Village (whose twist I called literally in the opening shot of the movie).
He strikes me as a guy who had two good ideas and was lucky enough to make those first, which led to a successful career making hot garbage because he'd already burnt through his two good ones.
I predicted the sixth sense early but didnt see the village twist until a bit past half way in the movie. Then I felt stupid I didnt see it earlier.
But i liked the Village, it was fun.
