Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
The haphazard feeling of the narrative deflates any real tension.
– Mark Olsen,
Los Angeles Times,
17 May 2012
rotten:
"The Samaritan" proves that even Samuel L. Jackson can be boring.
– Kyle Smith,
New York Post,
18 May 2012
rotten:
A scripted cliche: the ex-con who wants to go straight until the plot kicks in.
– Rick Groen,
Globe and Mail,
18 May 2012
rotten:
[Jackson's] doleful revenant is in almost every scene, and this hardworking actor seems to know that the film around him should be a light-footed caper instead of a grim noir with a side order of deviance.
– Jeannette Catsoulis,
New York Times,
18 May 2012
rotten:
It's not honest with its people, or its plot. And the only ones it really cheats are audience members.
– Stephen Whitty,
Newark Star-Ledger,
