Normal Review
‘Normal’ Pits Bob Odenkirk’s Wary Sheriff Against a Warped Small Town. Henry Winkler, Lena Headey, Ryan Allen and Jess McLeod also feature in the new action comedy from writer Derek Kolstad and director Ben Wheatley. Bob Odenkirk has been proving for a while that he’s more than just a comedian and comic actor; the depth he brought to Saul Goodman across the ‘Breaking Bad’ TV universe was key, but he also showed real action chops in the two ‘Nobody’ movies.
With ‘Normal’, he’s much more back in the latter two films’ wheelhouse, playing someone who has to confront a violent situation. But while ‘Nobody’ and its sequel certainly have some dark laughs, this latest outing raises the comic stakes and ups the deadly inventiveness.
