Atom User Reviews for Bad Samaritan
Even though I wouldn't recommend the theater we went to, the movie was surprisingly good. I was still able to enjoy it considering the person next to me was having a pow wow with the row behind us and kicked her shoes off mid movie. The plot sucked me in and kept me there. Was very suspenseful and I'd recommend seeing it maybe in a few days when no one can ruin it for you.
It was a Friday and my wife and I wanted to see something we hadn't seen. We came to the theater expecting an average movie with a normal plot. What we received was surprisingly good. In a sense, we could relate the movie to real life. We definitely recommend others to check the movie out.
It was definitely a pretty original concept. It reminded me of don’t breathe with some slight comic relief towards the end.
would not recommend this unless you like bad actors and a bad plot line
my heart was racing almost the entire movie.
Metacritic
A few sharp moments can’t compensate for a film that feels half-developed, and only half-heartedly told. Like its protagonist, Bad Samaritan isn’t quite as bad as it could have been, but it’s not good either.
The spectacularly dumb, and weirdly entertaining bad-taste thriller Bad Samaritan is the kind of movie that many will assume can only be enjoyed ironically, or just with some sort of emotional detachment.
It’s all thoroughly unpleasant, but then, that’s what audiences for this kind of movie want from the experience, so consider it a success of sorts.
