Leave your thoughts about The Samaritan.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe Samaritan isn't a great noir, but it's true to the tradition and gives Samuel L. Jackson one of his best recent roles. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonIf the trickery isn't quite as multilayered as we might hope, there's still Jackson's furious performance to appreciate. He as fun to watch as he always is. |
| The Hollywood ReporterMichael RechtshaffenA gritty serving of pulp fiction masterfully perpetrated by Samuel L. Jackson as a philosophical ex-con trying to buck the considerable odds by taking a shot at redemption. |
| CineVueAmon WarmannThe strong performances of the cast do well to elevate The Samaritan, but there's not much more to take away from this mildly entertaining crime thriller. |
| MSN MoviesKathleen MurphyThe theme's familiar, but The Samaritan's stylish palette -- the colors of corruption and despair -- paints it new. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid NusairThe Samaritan benefits substantially from the inclusion of a shocking turn in the narrative at around the halfway point... |
| Film School RejectsRobert LevinThe experience of watching Samuel L. Jackson actually act is the only real pleasure to be gleaned from the movie. |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfIt's thoroughly mediocre, which feels like such a disappointment when one considers that the script's ingredients include murder, deception, sex, and ungodly sin. |
| AV ClubSam AdamsIt's difficult to describe The Samaritan, in which Samuel L. Jackson plays an ex-con trying to return to the straight and narrow after 25 years inside, without overlapping a dozen other movies in his nigh-endless filmography, nor watch any scene without thinking of how many times he's drawn from the same bag of tricks. |
| Film Journal InternationalChris Barsanti...goes from mechanical to (unintentionally) hilarious, stopping frequently at the cliché shop along the way. |
