Normal

Welcome, this is Now Streaming With Jordan.

Life in Normal is quiet, peaceful, predictable.

Until it isn't.

The film is called Normal, starring Bob Odenkirk as Sheriff Ulysses, who comes to a small Midwestern town to serve as interim sheriff following the odd death of the original sheriff.

Well, it turns out the town is corrupt, very corrupt, with the chief villain being Henry Winkler in a fine turn as the crooked mayor, who with other prominent members of the community is laundering money, a lot of it for the vicious Yakuza gang from Japan.

When a bank robbery goes bad, we find out it's a bank loaded with Yakuza gold.

The villains fly to the Midwest to take back their assets and take care of the sheriff.

This results in a knockdown, drag-out, over-the-top, violent story with Bob Odenkirk having a lot of fun fighting the bad guys.

And Odenkirk's charm makes this an easy 90-minute watch.

Normal on HBO Max.
