Normal
Interim sheriff Ulysses, called to the snowbound town of Normal, MN, uncovers an international criminal conspiracy at the heart of the seemingly quaint whistle-stop when he comes to the aid of a bank-robbing couple caught up in a deadly mess.
Critics Sentiment
Ben Wheatley creates controlled chaos and unsettling atmosphere
Poorly executed ending makes no logical sense
The film drops significantly from its atmospheric peak to its poorly executed ending, falling 2.5 points.
Normal starts messy and disorienting but finds its footing in small town America before delivering entertaining action sequences. While critics praised Odenkirk's performance and Wheatley's atmospheric direction, many felt it was too derivative of Nobody and suffered from poor dialogue and a nonsensical ending. Despite these flaws, audiences generally enjoyed the over-the-top action and the film remains thoroughly entertaining.
