Nobody is formulaic, derivative, silly, and quite fun. It could be said to sit in a genre that we'll call "John Wicks" where an eponymous (albeit here anonymous) protagonist becomes a whirling dervish of destruction to avenge some wrong and, potentially, reignite or redirect an actor's career.
Yet that's to undermine something that's simply seeking to amuse. It's got action sequences aplenty, invention in them too, but it's not trying to hold a candle to Wick or dye historic like Atomic Blonde. It actually feels more in the vein of Red or even Falling Down, though with a key element being the distance in a marriage it has echoes of Another Round. This is a middle-aged revenge fantasy, but the revenge is less against unlucky assailants or convenient Russian mobsters than middle-age itself.
