Weak. Almost no story at all really. They could have done a lot with it, made it not just a typical super hero who is retired and burned out kind of thing. Could have had a lot more development of each character, there were some interesting possible avenues they just did nothing with. Not really worth the time, even for just killing some time with a generic hero movie. .... SPOILER ...... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ... the "twist" was lame as hell and you could see it 10 miles away . . . . . . . . . . . . Don't weep for the stupid, or you will be crying all day | ||

I agree. This is what I sent to my friend who asked me what I thought. Samaritan on Amazon is disappointing. Very slow pace, nonsensical plot, horrible dialogue, mediocre action sequences. And the twist at the end was so very obvious. So much so that it feels vaguely insulting to actual plot twists | |||

Watched it last night. Agreed, could have done so much more with it. Not worth my time. | |||

| No, not like Bill Clinton  |
Watched it last night, in the mindless entertainment category. Lots of plot holes and I called the plot twist early on. I was entertained enough to finish it | |||

I stopped at Stallone. Thanks for confirming the right decision. "Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it." L.Tolstoy "A government is just a body of people, usually, notably, ungoverned." Shepherd Book | |||

So...another typical Stallone movie  "I’m not going to read Time Magazine, I’m not going to read Newsweek, I’m not going to read any of these magazines; I mean, because they have too much to lose by printing the truth"- Bob Dylan, 1965 | |||

I liked it myself. It would be easy to pick it apart, but I thought the action scenes were worth it. It was different for a PG rated super hero film, guess I am easily entertained.

Same but it took everything I had to finish it. First half of the movie, not bad for a streaming thing. Second half was awful and it just kept getting worse. You knew it was bad when the kid asks him to go to the roof and show him how to fight. Dude is this Rocky or another superho thing, I forget. What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone | |||

The last of his movies for me was Rambo. Shortly thereafter he either said or I found out he'd said that the police should go door-to-door and take everyone's firearms. | |||

It was pretty bad but probably still better than half of Stallone's movies. 十人十色 | |||

Yep, he is one of the original "I-Make-A-Lot-Of-Money-Glamourizing-Guns-But-You-Can't-Have-One" assholes.

I've seen worse .... much worse .... so what? Mildly entertaining but if you are a critic then go criticize but the making of this film didn't bother me. Every film doesn't need to be a blockbuster.  | |||
