Story Line;
Workaholic assassin Hutch Mansell takes his family on a much-needed vacation to the small tourist town of Plummerville. However, he soon finds himself in the crosshairs of a corrupt theme-park operator, a shady sheriff, and a bloodthirsty crime boss
Thoughts:
According to the facts, this was at a water park due to Bob Odenkirk's family vacations to Wisconsin Dells. As a Wisconsin resident, the Dells hasn't been this cheesy since the very early 80's.
The fist movie was so good, I had high hopes for this one and it didn't disappoint. It was a fun time.
I like movies like this, it's funny, with action, a great plot and it doesn't take itself too seriously.
CAUTION; Spoiler Alert
This
sequel to the first 'Nobody' film opens with Hutch Mansell (Bob
Odenkirk) sitting in an interrogation room looking beaten up, this
time sitting with a dog. Two agents speak to him and ask him who he
is.
Sometime before this, we see Hutch has returned to his
life as an assassin-for-fire, taking on contracts issued by man known
only as The Barber (Colin Salmon) to work off his debt to the
Russians for destroying the Obshak. His work has kept him more
distant from his wife Becca (Connie Nielsen) and their kids Brady
(Gage Munroe) and Sammy (Paisley Cadorath). Hutch acknowledges that
his work is keeping him from his family, and it is weighing on
him.
Hutch later sees an ad for a summer town called
Plummerville that his elderly father David (Christopher Lloyd) took
him and his brother Harry (RZA) to when they were kids. Since summer
break is coming up, Hutch convinces Becca and the kids to go on a
trip as a family. Hutch promises to Becca that he will keep his "work
life" out of the picture while he is with his family. He even
tells The Barber that he is requesting a break before taking on his
next contract.
The Mansells pick up David from his retirement
home so he can join them on the trip. After settling the kids into
their rooms, Hutch and Becca spend a private afternoon in their room
drinking wine after a long time apart.
Later on, the family
tries to go to the water park together, only to be told that it is
closed due to an incident. They are given hot dog coupons as a
consolation, so Hutch takes them to the nearby diner for lunch.
There, he catches the unwanted attention of the local sheriff, Abel
(Colin Hanks), since Hutch was reminiscing about spending time there
with David and Harry.
The family then goes to the arcade after
getting free passes for there too. While there, Hutch tries to talk
to Brady, who has had a black eye from what was originally believed
to happen during one of his football games, but is implied to be from
a fight. Brady gives some tickets to some girls who were checking him
out, and then uses some other tickets to buy a prize for Sammy. One
of the girls' boyfriends, Max (Lucius Hoyos), antagonizes Brady for
talking to her and then rips Sammy's prize in two. Brady responds by
decking Max in the face and then twisting his arm around. Hutch
intervenes, as do some of the arcade staff. They are forced to leave,
but when Sammy tries to pick up her doll, one staff member smacks her
arm. Hutch initially tries to let it go for Becca's sake, but then
quickly walks back to beat the shit out of the staff member, plus one
coworker and another guy who tried to be a hero.
Hutch and
Brady are at the police station, where Abel is ready to grill Hutch.
He meets Wyatt Martin (John Ortiz), Max's father and the owner of the
Plummerville theme park. He is angry with Hutch because Brady twisted
Max's pitching arm. Wyatt orders Hutch and his family to get out of
town. After Hutch agrees, Abel tells his men to go after Hutch and
get rid of him.
The next day, Hutch takes the family for a
duck boat ride, but he notices some of Abel's guys following them. He
lets Becca, David, and the kids go off on one boat while he hops on
another and lets the four goons follow him. After trying to
de-escalate the situation, the goons proceed to attack Hutch. He
shows them that he is no ordinary tourist, but he loses a pinky
during the fight. After getting tossed off the boat, Hutch resurfaces
and continues kicking their asses. The lead goon later contacts Abel
while he being wheeled away and missing a few teeth to let him know
that Hutch got away from them.
Hutch later contacts Harry to
come help him before getting in touch with The Barber. He informs
Hutch that Plummerville has always been a secret haven for drug
trafficking and bootlegging. The operation is run by a psychotic
woman named Lendina (Sharon Stone). She is seen in her casino up
against an opponent at the poker table. After learning that the man
was cheating, she kills him, her dealer, and every last eyewitness.
The Barber warns Hutch not to piss off Lendina.
Wyatt is shown
working for Lendina since she killed his father and has forced him to
pay off his father's debts. Wyatt wants out, but Lendina has her
claws in him. After they hang up, Lendina talks to Abel since he also
works for her, double-crossing Wyatt. She orders him to keep Wyatt in
line by taking something (or someone) of value to him.
Abel
kidnaps Max and holds him hostage. Hutch finds a warehouse where Abel
and his goons are meeting, along with a huge pile of cash meant for
Lendina. Hutch douses the cash with gas and threatens to burn it
unless Abel agrees to back off of him and his family. Abel relents,
but as Hutch is leaving, he notices Max being taken away. He leaves
briefly but quickly returns to start annihilating Abel's goons. One
guy tries to kill Hutch using a table saw, only for Hutch to push the
guy's head down onto the blade. When every last guy except Abel is
dead, Hutch frees Max and shoots one of the lights, causing the
sparks to ignite the cash and some nearby chemicals. Abel runs away
as the building explodes, destroying everything inside while Hutch
drives away with Max.
Lendina soon learns that all of her
assets are gone, and her goons bring her surveillance pictures of
Hutch and his family in Plummerville. Abel, who survived but is badly
burned, contacts Lendina to have her round up more men to go after
Hutch. She officially declares war against the Mansells and proceeds
to go after them.
Hutch has David take Becca and the kids to a
nearby lodge for safety since the villains will try to get them at
the hotel. He also brings Max there for safety, and he and Brady are
officially on good terms. Before Hutch goes to finish things, he
admits to Becca that he broke his promise, and he suggests that she
get away from him for her protection.
Hutch goes to speak to
Wyatt, who is in a drunken rage over Max's disappearance. After
trying to attack Hutch, he calms Wyatt down and informs him that Max
is safe. Wyatt explains his relation to Lendina and how he hates her.
Wyatt shows Hutch his father's arsenal of weapons that he would have
used against Lendina before she killed him. They proceed to
booby-trap the entire theme park as they await Lendina's arrival,
with some help from David and Harry. Meanwhile, Becca asks Brady to
be in charge while she "goes for a walk", and takes a
nearby rifle with her.
Lendina and her goons arrive at the
theme park, while her henchman Kartoush (Daniel Bernhardt) brings a
few gunmen with him to the lodge to go after the family. After Abel
leads Lendina to Hutch and Wyatt, she has her men execute Abel
(because he's a "pain in the ass") and the gunmen start to
go after the men. They lead the goons into every possible trap,
whether it's mines in the ball pit, or swinging grenades, each thug
gets blown up promptly. At the lodge, Brady tries to fight off a thug
while Max keeps Sammy hidden. Harry shows up and slices up the bad
guys with his kitana before dueling with Kartoush. After a brief
fight, Harry decapitates Kartoush.
Most of the park's henchmen
are down, but Hutch, David, and Wyatt have all been incapacitated.
Lendina prepares to have Hutch executed, but Wyatt shoots one of her
henchwomen before she can kill Hutch. That woman's partner goes nuts
and tries to kill Wyatt in retaliation, but she is shot too. Lendina
tries to kill Hutch herself, but Becca shows up with the rifle and
shoots Lendina in the chest and eye with tranquilizer darts. A final
wave of gunmen show up, and David rises to set off the final round of
explosives. Hutch and Becca dive into a pool as the whole place goes
up in flames, with Lendina cracking a small grin before she and her
men are incinerated.
Hutch and Becca are later seen being
interrogated by the agents, along with the dog (who was rescued from
the park). The agents are called by their superior and are forced to
let the Mansells go.
The family later returns home, where they
watch a slideshow of pictures from the trip together (along with
Brady's girlfriend). They include pictures of the family having fun,
along with pictures of Wyatt and Max since they are now all friends.
Hutch sits and smiles as he finally gets some peaceful time with his
family.
