Synopsis
The latest collaboration between Bob Odenkirk, JOHN WICK creator Derek Kolstad and NOBODY producer Marc Provissiero, director Ben Wheatley’s (FREE FIRE, HIGHRISE) kinetic neo-Western stars Odenkirk as an unassuming substitute sheriff with a troubled past who, after moving to a small, sleepy town, responds to a bank robbery and unknowingly uncovers something far more explosive. For Sheriff Ulysses (Odenkirk), his provisional posting to the quaint Midwestern American town of Normal was meant to be a welcome respite from both his marital woes and recent moral injuries in the line of duty. But when a botched bank robbery interrupts the municipality’s tranquil pace, a dark secret is inadvertently exposed, and Ulysses soon discovers that the town is anything but its namesake.

Moviegoers are saying
This Bob Odenkirk action vehicle delivers pure, unapologetic fun with spectacular kill sequences and standout fight choreography, though audiences note a prologue that telegraphs twists and pacing that jumps abruptly into mayhem. Reviewers consistently praise Odenkirk's commanding performance and highlight an exceptional restaurant gunfight scene, while embracing the film's gleeful commitment to over-the-top violence and 'American Anime' sensibilities.

It’s silly as hell but lots of boom and Bob Odenkirk.
Kit LazerApr 16, 2026This thing is just having so much fun doing as much as it possibly can to get a gasp and a giggle out of the audience. Every kill is great and shockingly unafraid to erase anyone at any given time. Low key kinda wish its prologue hadn’t inadvertently ruined the entire…

Andy Young @ Warped TourMar 18, 2026just a movie that makes you be like “yup that’s a movie” and i mean that as an extreme compliment
nolanApr 17, 2026I’m loving this Bob Odenkirk action star era

Got to attend the LA premiere and this movie fits my criteria for American Anime classification. It’s a lot of fun, it has great kills and fight choreo, and I loved watching Jess McLeod shoot a gun.
Vera DrewApr 28, 2026It could have used a few more minutes to better develop some characters and make the transition to action a little less abrupt, but even this shortcoming helps strengthen the film's best part: this pleasant and consistent blend of well-crafted action, some serious themes…
JackFollaMar 4, 2026So you see, what’s ironic is this town actually isn’t so “normal” after all.

odenkirk vs yakuza
JWolf likedNormal6.4/10 Gene Takevic vs the Yakuza in a small midwestern town. Starting to like the Odenkirk typecast as the badass older dude. Nothing we haven’t seen before. Reminds me of Nobody and Ballerina from last year with the town of enemies. The unexpected deaths were pretty funny, this one has quite a…
ChungiBoi is "meh" onNormalI had cautious optimism that this would be a slightly above average action film but unfortunately it didn’t even reach that. Even though I know it’s a comedy, the writing for character motivations and how numerous interactions play out makes no sense
- Sam Henrie is "meh" onNormal
Not bad. I dont understand these genres of action where no one is serious but also its not exactly a comedy. I didnt laugh at all and I wasnt impressed with the action. Way too many coincidences that happened.
Gregory Mitchell likedNormalI, for one, was shocked the town called Normal…in fact, wasn’t normal. Nothing that new or ground breaking but enjoyable with Odenkirk and some over the top violence
Noah March is "meh" onNormal🫎🫎 This was good until the action started, then it felt really cheap. It was a classic action, however, i didn’t feel there to be anything unique about this one.
- L likedNormal
Every movie this actor plays, it turns out to be so good! Maybe I'm biased because of Nobody, but if you liked it, then you most definitely will like this one too!
Sam MacKay likedNormal7.6/10 - Bob has carved out a new Neeson-esque action presence that he wears well. This was fun and campy, but with a thinner coat of paint than Nobody
PACINO lovedNormalGod damn what a fun movie , the action , the funny moments 🔥🔥🔥😂 10/10 really love movies like this

Bob Odenkirk’s presence helps create a sense of gravitas even when the film is straightforward, adding soulful dimensions to a fairly simple character in whose hands guns and explosives are as much tools of violence as they are instruments of a righteousness long lost to moral compromise.

Wheatley’s hyperbolic set pieces feel perfunctory rather than euphoric or hilariously bombastic.

While Normal doesn’t deliver anything you haven’t seen before rife with convenience (a ton of kills occur by gruesomely funny happenstance despite an intent for murder setting these “accidents” in motion), it’s still a memorable ride for those who have already been lapping up Kolstad’s antics.
