Leave your thoughts about No Good Deed.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertIt's an absorbing, atmospheric noir with nice little touches. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLindsey BahrThere's an intriguing premise buried in there that could have resulted in a smart look inside the mind of a malignant narcissist (which, the movie reminds us over and over again, was Jeffrey Dahmer's diagnosis too). |
| Chicago TribuneEllen FoxThis undermarketed noir suffers because many of its characters don't seem to belong in the same universe. |
| Detroit Free PressJohn MonaghanFor all the talent on screen, no one has much chemistry. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinIt’s a little dumb (OK, maybe more than a little), but No Good Deed is an otherwise brisk, efficient thriller that won’t punish audiences who drop in. |
| McClatchy-Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreWould No Good Deed have anything worth talking about without the Ray Rice sucker punch tie-in? Barely. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeAdmirers of the cast or of Bob Rafelson would do all concerned parties a very good deed by not witnessing their combined embarrassment. |
| Tampa Bay TimesSteve PersallEverything plays out brutally, and the acting's not bad. But it's unsettling for external reasons beyond its control. |
| EmpireJames WhiteElba's reunites with Luther director Sam Miller to lesser effect in a workaday home-invasion thriller. |
| Time OutDan AdamsDirector Sam Miller’s attempt to take us on a thrill ride feels more like a slow train pulling up to the station. |
