BOB ODENKIRK IS A JOY TO WATCH AS ALWAYS

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Bob Odenkirk as a new sheriff in a small Minnesota town with dark secrets, who would have thought. Nothing in “Normal” is what it seems.

The film blends humor with over-the-top action, backed by a fun cast including Henry Winkler, though Lena Headey is underused. It’s engaging, fast-paced, and never drags, with just enough intrigue to keep you locked in and action scenes to rival John Wick and Nobody since the movie is written by Derek Kolstad

If you’re into over the top action, this is a solid, entertaining 90min movie that was very fun

better than normal

Fakin’ LOVED this. This was my kinda movie. The humor killed me, the fights were so great to watch and the kills were awesome. Was this meant to give me a new perspective on anything? Fuck no. It was just pure good entertainment. I loved the ending and how it wrapped up in a nice bow. Also that guys jacket killed me in every scene

OMG...this movie was so funny!!! Was not expecting that. It's really hard to explain but if I were to compare the killings to another movie, it would be The Monkey... over the top and absolutely hilarious. Definitely one I will watch again and add to my dvd collection!!
