'Nobody 2' Review: Short, entertaining, but largely forgettable

Can we ever truly be on a break? Not the Ross-and-Rachel 'we were on a break' kind of break, but the real kind where you just switch off, free yourself from responsibilities, and detach from the daily 9-to-5 cycle. I guess not. At least not in movies. And definitely not in action movies where the lead is a former Baba Yaga kind of a guy trying to live a peaceful life. The genre rulebook is simple: they never stay retired. And if they did, the film would just… not happen. John Wick is the easiest example. You could also throw in Taken, The Equalizer — they all follow that 'once you're in, you're never really out' pattern. Hutch Mansell, played again by Bob Odenkirk, is no exception. In Nobody (2021), he tried hard to bury his violent instincts and live a quiet suburban life. But when you've been in 'the game' long enough, you can only suppress the itch for so long before something — or someone — forces you back. And when Hutch finally unleashed in the first film, we all saw that he was far from the harmless dad people assumed he was. This time around, Hutch is living with the fallout. There are debts to pay, enemies still out there, and family tensions to navigate. So what does he do? The same thing a lot of us do when we're burnt out; he plans a family vacation. His wife (Connie Nielsen) is back, the kids are older, sharp-tongued and can swing a fist, and Grandpa (Christopher Lloyd) is tagging along too. The destination? A nostalgic getaway spot tied to Hutch's childhood. The goal? Quality time. The reality? On day one, trouble knocks on the door. And Hutch, being Hutch, answers with fists (and various improvised weapons and booby traps). The action is still the main draw here. Director Timo Tjahjanto, making his English-language debut, has a great eye for fight choreography. The set pieces are tight, brutal, and cleanly staged, though a little less gory than Part 1, but still enough to make you wince in that 'good' action-movie way. What's nice is that Odenkirk still sells every punch. He doesn't move like a superhero; he moves like a guy who's skilled but human, which makes the fights more grounded. Story-wise, there's not much to unpack — and that's kind of the point. This isn't a deep character study or a revenge saga with emotional baggage. It's a lean, fast-paced reminder that sometimes all you want from a movie is a dad with a deadly set of skills wrecking bad guys who underestimated him. The new cast brings some flavour. Sharon Stone plays the big villain, and she's a riot when she's on screen — sharp, fun, and just theatrical enough without going cartoonish. The only problem is that she shows up too late in the game. Should've given her more screen time because she's just simply deserving. In the end, Nobody 2 is exactly what it says on the box. It's short. It's simple. It's watchable. You don't need to see it in a cinema to enjoy it — it'll work just fine on a Friday night at home with snacks. But if you do watch it in the theatre, it's the kind of film that fills the gap between bigger releases. For 89 minutes, you're entertained. And then, like a vacation that ends too soon, you'll forget the details as soon as you're back to work.

This app changes how UAE can hire musicians, artists, and even magicians

For three decades, Nizar Ahmadi operated in the upper tiers of global finance. Now, he's channeling that operational discipline into a mission that's decidedly human: connecting magicians, DJs, dancers, painters, and performers directly with the people who want to hire them — without commissions or gatekeepers. 'I've been in banking for over 30 years,' he says in a chat with City Times . The itch to build in the arts, though, never left. 'Music and entertainment, since I was a kid, I've been exposed to it through my parents, through friends, which I had loved… And it's always stayed in the back of my mind. And I always wanted to get involved in it. I just didn't know how.' Recommended For You The 'how' arrived after Covid. 'After Covid, when tech came in, the idea came and I actually spent about three, four months just with a blackboard in my room, putting the user journey together,' he said. That idea became MADE — short for Music, Arts, Dance, Entertainment — a Dubai-born platform where creatives can post video showcases, set prices, be vetted for authenticity, and connect with clients in minutes. Ahmadi's frustration with the old discovery model is visceral — those fleeting living-room moments where someone sings beautifully and then, nothing. 'What about the 99 per cent talents that are out there that are unseen?' he asks. The premise of MADE is simple: 'Let's have thousand people looking at the talents that are out there instead of a thousand talents being seen by one or two agents.' That extends to access. 'I needed entertainment to come into everybody's lives," he said. "It's not a rich man's game.' MADE allows a hotel with a tight budget, a restaurant just starting out, or a parent planning a birthday to find talent at transparent prices, fast. 'All they have to do is showcase their talent clearly, where we have to do a bit of vetting to make sure that they do have a talent… It's free for them to showcase their talent and post a free video.' The driver, he adds, is livelihood: 'A person can eat. A person can pay his rent that night and they're exposed.' UAE as a launchpad If MADE's ethos is global, its launchpad is intentionally local. 'UAE is such a melting hub for everybody… it's the best place to come in because entertainment is growing,' Ahmadi says, noting government-backed cultural momentum and an events calendar that needs talent at every price tier. 'We've launched four or five months ago. We've gotten a couple of thousand talents to begin with.' Early on, the team nudged creators to raise their presentation game: 'We had to filter some and clean up some posts and send them messages to upgrade the quality of the posts… you're going to stop to the ones that catch your eye.' A mentor gave him another shorthand: 'Basically this is the Uber of talents.' But he stresses the role: 'We're not competing with anyone. We're facilitating and connecting talent to talent seekers in minutes.' For all the tech, this is still about human habits. When asked about the challenges, he takes a minute to ponder. 'From many, many sessions that we've had… the main bottleneck for talents, they're lazy," he says. "I need them to come and put a profile and put a video.' Clients have habits too. He adds, 'For the talent seeker, they're wary because they're so used to having an events manager… They think it's already vetted.' MADE's answer is to keep the process simple but rigorous: vet profiles for authenticity and performance, then make contact instantaneous. 'The connection is instantaneous… Here, the pricing is right there. You see the pricing, you connect, you can meet them in an hour.' The platform also serves makers through a second track: 'On Made, you have two platforms. You have a performance platform and you have a made to sell platform… it's not an e-commerce, it's a one-to-one where they meet.' That covers independent fashion, jewelry, sculpture — work you might see at a pop-up or gallery, now discoverable without a storefront. Commission-free by design On monetisation, Ahmadi is explicit: 'We are not taking any commission.' Growth, he says, is about scale and simple paid tiers. 'We're looking at the scalability and the numbers game over the next couple of years.' Because MADE doesn't skim fees, there's no incentive to 'go behind our back' after a first booking. 'It's futile… we're not taking a penny. So why leave when you have a thousand people looking at you?' That philosophy underpins the mission: 'The philosophy we've built it to begin with is two things, is to empower talents, increase their livelihood, and expose talent seekers to talents that they never thought existed or they haven't seen.' Early traction matters more than press clippings. 'We have quite a few people that were connected,' Ahmadi says. 'There are people that got connected after a day and there's people that got connected after two or three months.' The genres span 'bands… musicians, DJs, some artwork and painters.' AI: Filter, accelerate, but don't replace Ask Ahmadi about AI and he's candid. 'I feel sorry for a lot of the artists and musicians out there today,' he says. He isn't doom-scrolling, though; he's building. 'There's three things that I want AI for. It's to filter through a lot of the posts… AI is going to be implemented in the app in January, and what we're trying to do is expedite the connection even faster.' He also wants MADE to surface in external AI searches: 'People will go on AI… it will show you the top five searches. So we will strive to be one of the top five names.' What he won't concede is the core experience. 'We are blessed and lucky that the performances are still done by people… you still need that human factor.' As for 'future-proof'? He adds, 'I'm not going to say future-proof… AI is a must. And we have to incorporate AI into certain angles to facilitate and make the user journey easier, friendlier. But using humans is extremely important.' What comes next? Geographically, the expansion arc is clear: Saudi Arabia, Egypt, then global hubs in Europe, South America, and the Far East. Strategically, the platform continues refining the 'supply of talent' and the speed of connection. Emotionally, the north star hasn't changed. 'Seeing the smile on their faces,' he says of newly booked performers, 'nothing happier than when a person has talent and he's been discovered'. And if you're looking for the founder's identity, he says, 'I see myself as somebody that just wants to empower talent. Just to be a small bandage in this world to bring out the talented people out there that are unseen and unheard and undiscovered.' husain@ Husain Rizvi is a Senior Features Writer who covers entertainment and lifestyle stories and has a profound interest in tech (games) and sports.

The AI Humanoid that makes you money stuns crowds across Los Angeles

Los Angeles most likely will never be the same again—for the better. Its picturesque, tree-lined avenues and alleyways, frequented by some of the biggest Hollywood stars and billionaire A-listers, have been disruptively obliterated by a humanoid robot. It thumped and pumped with its usual energy, but nothing compared to when Robert the Robot took over its streets. The moment was definitely one for the books, and Los Angeles was not entirely prepared for such a 'robotic' appearance. The very instant Robert the Robot made his rounds throughout the city, he was surrounded by pedestrians, vendors, travelers, and bystanders who had absolutely no clue about the immense power and knowledge he carried. As expected, people from nearby and afar gathered instinctively, aiming their phones at him—first for a photo opportunity, then for an otherworldly, incredibly impressive Q and A. What many discovered in that moment is what separates Robert from all the other robots: he is the most social and the most expressive. He can look directly at you, talk to you, and through his screen face display emotions that make his words easier to understand. During his trip to LA, Robert even met the G1 robot, and while both could hold a conversation, the difference was clear. Robert could meet someone's eyes, gauge their reaction, determine if they understood him, and adjust his tone and phrasing accordingly. This level of adaptive communication is exactly what RB Labs—founded by Metodi Dimitrov, Robin Krambroeckers, and Lin Dayen-Hsu—aims to make standard across the service economy for all robots that interact with humans. While many robots in the world can flip, dance, or demonstrate agility, none of them communicate convincingly or grasp what a person is truly saying and requiring. Robert does, thanks to advanced sensors and, most importantly, his screen face interface. This allows him to benefit from every new upgrade in AI video generation, instantly integrating improvements into his communication abilities. RB Labs developed Robert the Robot as a cutting-edge and state-of-the-art humanoid trained for engagement. His programming runs on proprietary AI infrastructure tied to live blockchain signals and a custom language engine tuned for multi-channel data exchange. Sensor arrays track speaker flow and behavioral triggers, while each output routes through a logic-driven command sequence. With everything said and done, Robert the Robot is here to answer the way an expert would, right? Sure. But as all layers get unpacked, let this secret be out: he was created for the ultimate purpose of being the 'AI Robot that makes you MONEY.' Alright, now the word's out. This combination of technical power and expressive design is why he was so well received in Los Angeles—the city of fame, trends, and influence—because people immediately recognized that he represents the future of human-robot communication. Questions poured in immediately. Robert the Robot was asked about cryptocurrency, token value, asset growth, digital markets, and many other related topics. He answered like a human, but with complete accuracy and unmatched speed. To take things even further, he responded in French to one person, then switched to German for another—yes, Robert the Robot is the polyglot friend you hoped you had. His ability to show emotion, adapt his responses in real time, and communicate across languages bridges the gap between technology and human understanding. Subjects like inflation, crypto volatility, and capital transfers were thrown in rapid succession, yet Robert kept speaking. His presence quickly captured the interest of everyone. Soon, he was inundated with curious individuals from all walks of life, all seeking to experience his financial mastery. By the end of the day, Los Angeles became a finance hub, singlehandedly masterminded by Robert the Robot. And beyond the spectacle, the reason for his effect was clear—he is the first robot that makes people think, 'This is how the robots of the future will communicate,' with expressions, emotions, and a design built for connection.
