Featured review
Bad Samaritan: Not half bad
David Tennant stars as the movies antagonist in a clever little thriller that deserves more recognition than it appears to have recieved.
It tells the story of two friends who through their valet job proceed to rob people while they are at the restaurant. But on this occasion one of them finds a little more than he expected as the home contains a chained up woman.
Now Bad Samaritan immediatly suffers from a flaw that a lot of movies have have lately. Namely protagonists that I can't care for. Why am I supposed to root for criminals? These people are robbing folks, why am I supposed to care about them? Sadly this has been a big thing lately and really badly needs to stop.
The story is great, David Tennant is excellent (As always) and it all plays out really well. But our lead being a thief just kept nagging at me and bothered me considerably more than it perhaps should.
Putting that aside I can confidently say Bad Samaritan is a smart little film, well constructed and well performed so if the bad protagonist thing doesn't bother you then it's well worth your time.
The Good:
David Tennant
Very well made little thriller
Solid concept
The Bad:
Unlikeable protagonist
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
David Tennant needs more high profile work
Bad guys need to play bad guys, thieves should not be the protagonists
Women still haven't established that allowing themselves to be photographed topless/naked is a bad idea
