What to Know

Critics Consensus

Bad Samaritan delivers a handful of genre thrills -- and a stellar central performance by David Tennant -- that help offset iffy direction and a disappointingly mundane story.

David Hughes Empire Magazine Dean Devlin finally steps out from Roland Emmerich's shadow with a tight, twisty little thriller. Rated: 3/5 Aug 27, 2018 Full Review Larushka Ivan-Zadeh Times (UK) The debut director Dean Devlin clearly has Hitchcockian pretensions, even if the sleazy thrills he offers lunge closer towards torture porn. Rated: 2/5 Aug 24, 2018 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian What is David Tennant doing in this fantastically charmless and unpleasant film? Rated: 1/5 Aug 24, 2018 Full Review David Bax Battleship Pretension Bad Samaritan is the tale of an immigrant taking on a dangerous, out of touch, entitled, rich asshole. There's a dose of politically charged wish fulfillment in that, which makes an already fun movie even more of a blast. Dec 10, 2020 Full Review Alex Hudson Exclaim! Bad Samaritan has all the cleverness of a shovel to the head. Rated: 4/10 Jul 18, 2020 Full Review Grady Bolding Cultured Vultures No one gives a dull performance and the story is compelling enough to keep you hooked from beginning to end.

Liam D An B movie thriller that has some suspenseful and shocking moments with decent direction by Dean Devlin (The Librarians, Eight Legged Freaks) and an fantastic performance by David Tennant (Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Bright Young Things) Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/30/24 Full Review J D This is a terrible predictable moving. For example a girl is locked in a cage with a collar on her , if she screams she gets electrocuted. But she can take it off her self , there no lock on it just a strap, so stupid, Embarassing movie DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/23/23 Full Review Jeffrey P Surprisingly a lot more solid than I was expecting. Very good suspense and thrills within a plot that continuously evolves at a steady pace that is not too slow or too fast. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/12/23 Full Review Jan V 20 minutes in and I'm fully rooting for the bad guy (Tennant). Protagonist is an annoying tweener who, together with his friend, rub me te wrong way. So yeah, I'm rooting for the murdering sadist instead of the protagonist. Tells you all you need to know about this movie. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/28/23 Full Review steve d A rip off of a million better films with only Tennant to recommend it. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member David is such a rich IT genius psychopath cat & mice predator game worthy of little Oscar's nomination, good enough to keep you buckle up for the wild ride. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews
