Bad Samaritan

Dean Devlin finally steps out from Roland Emmerich's shadow with a tight, twisty little thriller.

The debut director Dean Devlin clearly has Hitchcockian pretensions, even if the sleazy thrills he offers lunge closer towards torture porn.

What is David Tennant doing in this fantastically charmless and unpleasant film?

Bad Samaritan is a well-directed thriller with knuckle-chewing suspense.

The former 'Doctor Who' star David Tennant enlivens this stock thriller about scam artists and serial torturers - but it's still a mess. Tennant deserves better. So do audiences.

A thief breaks into the house of a serial killer. He doesn't know what to do next, and neither does the movie.

Bad Samaritan is the tale of an immigrant taking on a dangerous, out of touch, entitled, rich asshole. There's a dose of politically charged wish fulfillment in that, which makes an already fun movie even more of a blast.

Bad Samaritan has all the cleverness of a shovel to the head.

No one gives a dull performance and the story is compelling enough to keep you hooked from beginning to end.

It's not bad, it's just boring.
