Full Cast and Characters
The sequel features a mix of returning and new actors, each playing key roles in the chaotic world of Nobody 2. Hereโs the full breakdown:
- Bob Odenkirk as Hutch Mansell โ The retired assassin forced back into action to protect his family.
- Connie Nielsen as Becca Mansell โ Hutchโs wife, who is tired of his dangerous lifestyle.
- Christopher Lloyd as David Mansell โ Hutchโs father, a retired FBI agent who still knows how to handle a gun.
- RZA as Harry Mansell โ Hutchโs adopted brother, who joins the fight.

Plot and Major Twists
The story follows Hutch Mansell as he takes his family on a vacation to Plummerville, a rundown resort town tied to his childhood memories. But the town is secretly controlled by Lendinaโs criminal network. What starts as a peaceful trip quickly turns into a bloodbath as Hutch faces corrupt cops, armed thugs, and deadly traps.
One major twist involves Hutch burning another pile of money, mirroring the first filmโs climax. However, this time, the consequences are even deadlier. The final act features a carnival-themed battle with booby traps, paying homage to Home Alone but with far more violence.
“Sharon Stone absolutely understands that no subtlety is required here, and so she offers none, instead taking a big bite out of this wonderfully campy villain and luxuriating in her sadistic wickedness.” โ The Film Verdict
