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.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Jul 18, 2020

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.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Oct 1, 2019

By devolving into unoriginal nonsense by the third act, the film is laid even lower by the fact that it actually had a lot going for it before completely falling apart.

| Original Score: 2.25/5 | Jul 20, 2019

This sincerely made thriller with an itty-bitty IQ will never be confused for "good," but it is fully immersive in its floundering failure.

| Original Score: C+ | Jun 18, 2019

The pretty standard and otherwise forgettable low-budget thriller has only the whacked-out performance by David Tenant going for it, but that's enough (he's worth it).

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 20, 2019

Tennant relishes the chance to deliver a heady blast of nostril-flaring villainy.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 16, 2019

A machine built for screaming speed and excitement that only ever just cruises through the suburbs at half speed.

I think it's meant to be hysterical. I hope so, anyway, because I laughed a lot.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 30, 2018

A tight little film which does a good job of living up to its bold premise, Bad Samaritan makes occasional slips but delivers, overall, a solid two hours of entertainment.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 27, 2018

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

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 27, 2018

The more ridiculous the film gets, the more entertaining it becomes.

| Aug 26, 2018

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

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 24, 2018

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

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 24, 2018

[Bad Samaritan] ties on the odd scare and builds the thief's character better than the serial killer. [Full review in Spanish]

| Aug 23, 2018

Filmmaker Dean Devlin assembles the movie with gritty, sleek style, offering just enough character development to hook the audience before things turn viciously over the top. And also rather silly.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 22, 2018

Devlin's directing takes the paint-by-numbers approach with nothing new to offer.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Aug 20, 2018

It will never go down as one of the best suspense films, but it will entertain those looking for a little thrill. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 6.6/10 | Aug 15, 2018

It's that dime-a-dozen thriller that's worth every penny.

| Original Score: B- | Aug 14, 2018
