I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Waste of time

Sorry, this movie sucks

Nice effects though.

Good movie! Great plot! Edge of your seat twist and turns! Picture and acting qualities are excellent!.... If theirs anyone looking for good reviews and not sure of watching. Pay no mind to the bad reviews. If you like crime thrillers.. this is a good one!

It started off just a little slow, but escalated quickly and went non-stop from there. Not the very best, but I really have no complaints. Good story, good action. Pretty good acting! Not the very best, but much better than a lot of movies you've never heard of.

In the bonus track of "Bad Samaritan," there was the opportunity to listen to the writer and director discussing their film choices on a commentary track. Some of their insights were fascinating, and their comments were instructive about the decision-making process that goes into any feature film.One of the early choices made by the filmmakers was to change the nature of the protagonist, Sean Falco, from an American to an immigrant from Ireland. With his green card and uncertain status in America, Sean was all the more vulnerable when his life took a Kafkaesque turn. The film's original title, "Iron Girl" was thankfully changed to the more provocative "Bad Samaritan," shifting the focus to the leading character Sean.Another point made by the filmmakers was that the early feedback they received was that the early portion of the film was slow. But they clearly made some adjustments because the first quarter of the film was lively as it included the humorous antics of Sean as a petty thief, using his position as a valet at a restaurant to take patrons' cars, drive to their homes, and steal household items.Some of the funniest scenes were the ones in front of Nino's restaurant, where the valets have deluded themselves into thinking that they are competent criminals. But the film switches gears from the farcical to the thriller to the horror genres in the second quarter of the film. Sean discovers that the restaurant client Cale Erendreich is playing a deadly game, holding a woman in chains at his home. The second half of the film turns into a fairly predictable thriller with Sean's life turned into a nightmare by the sadistic Cole, as the cops and FBI prove incapable of competent investigative work.At one key juncture of the film, the villain shrieks, "I am the decider!" as he lords it over his helpless victim. It is only through the heroism of Sean that the sadist discovers that he cannot call all of the shots. There was good suspense, clever plotting, and nifty dialogue in this film, as well as some great location footage of Portland, Oregon.

Bad Samaritan should leave all viewers on the edge of their chair in many scenes. I'm not a horror film lover and hesitated to watch this because of the low 6.3 IMDB review. I have to disagree with this low rating as reflected by my vote of 10. The acting and plot were very convincing and it was all believable. Congratulations to Director Dean Devlin and Writer Brandon Boyce for hitting the nail on the head. As always, David Tennant and Robert Sheehan do a superb job of entertaining. This movie is the type that is not easily forgotten. Two thumbs up!
