Forget about Marvel at the box office, because the real powerhouse films are action-thrillers about quiet dads on quests for revenge. One of the best new entries in the genre (yes, we consider it a real genre), Nobody, is getting a sequel on August 15. However, before that, it will also receive a new 4K steelbook Blu-ray edition on July 29. Preorders are available for $30 through Walmart and Gruv, and at Amazon for $35–though we expect Amazon’s pricing will change to match those other retailers ahead of release day. Good news is that if you preorder from Amazon, you won’t be charged until it ships, and you’ll only pay the lowest amount.
$30 | Releases July 29
The Nobody 4K steelbook edition features new cover art of the film’s cast and an interior design that references the infamous bus fight scene. This version of the film also comes with a standard Blu-ray copy and a digital streaming code. As for the extras, you’re getting deleted scenes, featurettes examining the action scenes of Nobody, and commentary tracks with star Bob Odenkirk and director Ilya Naishuller.
Nobody stars Odenkirk (Better Call Saul, Mr. Show) as Hutch Mansell, the titular “nobody” who lives a quiet pacifist life. After a particularly bad night, Hutch’s dark side from his days as a US Intelligence assassin reawakens, and events eventually lead him to take on the Russian mob as things gradually spiral out of control. Odenkirk spent two years preparing for the role so he could pull off the gnarly fight sequences where seemingly nothing is off limits.
We’ve rounded up a few more dad-out-for-revenge Blu-rays in the list below if you’re interested in adding more films from this definitely real and widely recognized genre to your collection. The Taken trilogy starring Liam Neeson and The Equalizer trilogy starring Denzel Washington are some of the best-known examples. There’s also the original John Wick–which, yes, is about a dog dad rather than an actual parent of human children, but we think it counts, especially since it was a major influence on Nobody.
