Leave your thoughts about Bad Samaritan.
| Baret NewsKam WilliamsAn old-fashioned cat-and-mouse thriller with a frightening villain certain to haunt you long after you've left the theater. |
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferA wildly entertaining guilty pleasure. As long as you don't mind checking your brain at the door, Bad Samaritan is a gripping, exhilarating and shocking crime thriller. |
| Monsters and CriticsFred TopelApplies Hitchcockian technique to modern technology. It's Rear Window with smart phones and GPS. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekWhile ludicrous in the extreme and overextended, boasts an over-the-top performance by David Tennant that almost makes it worth seeing. |
| Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)Linda CookIt's no 'Silence of the Lambs,' but it's still solid and well-acted. |
| Crooked MarqueeEric D. SniderAn average thriller that passes the time but will probably soon be forgotten by everyone, including the people who made it. |
| New York ObserverRex ReedA well-directed thriller with knuckle-chewing suspense. A cast of unknowns give some first-rate performances, doing everything right to milk the throb of panic and anxiety from “what would I do?” situations. Terror builds from start to finish. |
| Fresh FictionCourtney HowardThe provocative cat-and-mouse game that unfolds makes for a solid, swifty throwback thriller. |
| TheWrapWilliam BibbianiA 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. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanI enjoyed the heck out of this cheerily implausible little underdog of a thriller. |
