The film is coming to cinemas very soon – read on for everything you need to know.

Nobody plot
The film centres on Hutch Mansell – a seemingly normal man who once pledged never to commit a violent act – as he finds himself drawn into a highly dangerous battle with a mysterious Russian drug lord, slowly revealing more about his own hidden past.
The official synopsis provided by Universal reads: "Emmy winner Bob Odenkirk stars as Hutch Mansell, an underestimated and overlooked dad and husband, taking life's indignities on the chin and never pushing back. A nobody.
"When two thieves break into his suburban home one night, Hutch declines to defend himself or his family, hoping to prevent serious violence. His teenage son, Blake, is disappointed in him and his wife, Becca, seems to pull only further away.
"The aftermath of the incident strikes a match to Hutch's long-simmering rage, triggering dormant instincts and propelling him on a brutal path that will surface dark secrets and lethal skills.
"In a barrage of fists, gunfire and squealing tires, Hutch must save his family from a dangerous adversary and ensure that he will never be underestimated as a nobody again."
