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 The 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.

Janis E A tight little film which does a good job of living up to its bold premise, Bad Samaritan delivers solid two hours of entertainment. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/22/25 Full Review Michael C Evil Awful Disgrace!!!!!! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/12/25 Full Review Iamwhoi M Fun movie, never boring. My only problem was keeping the fact that the bad guy kept reminding me of Charlie Sheen out of my mind. Moral of the story? Trust fun people SUCK. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/08/25 Full Review Kalissa H Tense and had some great jump scares. David Tennant is great in this, of course, although his American accent could be better. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/07/25 Full Review Will B Brilliant movie, a real thriller. Great acting throughout, real suspense. Definitely worth a watch Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/06/25 Full Review 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 Read all reviews
