NORMAL is a 2025 crime thriller film directed by Ben Wheatley (Free Fire), from a screenplay by Derek Kolstad (John Wick, Nobody), based on a story from Kolstad and Bob Odenkirk. The film was selected for the Midnight Madness program at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival, premiering September 7th, 2025.
For Sheriff Ulysses (Bob Odenkirk), his provisional posting to the quaint Midwestern American town of Normal was meant to be a welcome respite from both his marital woes and recent moral injuries in the line of duty. But when a botched bank robbery interrupts the municipality’s tranquil pace, a sordid secret is inadvertently exposed and Ulysses learns that the town is anything but its namesake.
The cast includes Bob Odenkirk, Lena Heady, Henry Winkler, Reena Jolly, and Brendan Fletcher.
