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

Times (UK)

The debut director Dean Devlin clearly has Hitchcockian pretensions, even if the sleazy thrills he offers lunge closer towards torture porn.

What is David Tennant doing in this fantastically charmless and unpleasant film?

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.

No one gives a dull performance and the story is compelling enough to keep you hooked from beginning to end.

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

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

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.

The only reason I put it on was simple, Robert Sheehan and David Tennant. The story line is beyond boring. David Tennant can't play a villan 🤣 too funny
