Trailer for Bob Odenkirk movie

Not exactly Better Call Saul..more like Better Call John Wick. Anyone buying Odenkirk as this kind of a bad ass?

 

Just saw that and was going to post about it myself.

It's basically a new twist on Death Wish. We all know how Bruce Willis fared with that. But for some reason this looks better because he's a guy moping about not doing anything during the robbery rather than someone out for full revenge. It's his turn at the Liam Neeson/Denzel/Bruce Willis/Jennifer Garner movie where someone old gets to become an unstoppable vigilante.

And I think the Bernard Goetz-ish scene in the subway is a fantasy sequence.

 

It's odd. But, then again, I didn't think Keanu Reeves as the world's most badass assassin would work either. This is like John Wick ... if his wife had lived and they'd had a few kids. Hell, I halfway wonder if there's not a tie-in to the John Wick universe in the movie.

 

"Don't call 9-1-1." lol

 

Remember when Odenkirk was a comedian and did a show with David Cross? Swear to God, it happened. It was hilarious.

 

Which Odenkirk used to make movies with his thumbs?

I buy it. A few years ago, I wouldn't have thought Bobcat Goldthwait could have turned Joel Murray into a convincing spree murderer. So, yeah. I'm going take the ride for this.
