Review of The Samaritan (2012) by Paul W — 15 Feb 2013
Aware of poor critical and viewer reactions beforehand, I ordered this movie anyway ... I mean, c'mon, Samuel Jeckson ... and of course it turned out I shouldn't have. The Samaritan is dreary and derivative.
Ex-con tries to go straight but his past catches up with him: I've seen it a dozen times before, and that's probably an underestimate. Everything is grim and dark, characters aren't consistent, it doesn't have anything new to say, and the emphasis on physical violence and its bloody effects is the next thing to porn.
I felt ripped off.
