TIFF Sensation: Bob Odenkirk Wows Critics in Ben Wheatley’s Action-Packed ‘Normal’
Bob Odenkirk is solidifying his position as a legitimate action star with his latest film, ‘Normal,’ which recently premiered to an enthusiastic reception at the Toronto International Film Festival’s (TIFF) Midnight Madness section. Directed by genre-bending Ben Wheatley and written by ‘John Wick’ creator Derek Kolstad, the movie is already generating significant buzz and is expected to secure U.S. distribution swiftly.
Critics are hailing Odenkirk’s performance as Sheriff Ulysses, a lawman seeking to escape trauma in the seemingly quiet town of Normal, Minnesota. The film is described as an unapologetically over-the-top crime thriller, blending visceral carnage with dry wit. With a cast that includes Henry Winkler and Lena Headey, ‘Normal’ reportedly shifts from a Coen Brothers-esque setup into ‘Tarantino-worthy grindhouse excess,’ promising audiences a “bone-crunching good time.” Amazon MGM Studios has already acquired the film for Canada, signaling strong industry confidence.
