Test T @TestTest1 01/29/2024 I watched this on DVD recently where it was titled "No Good Deed". I thought it was much better than the critics lead me to believe. Its about a cop who stumbles into a bank heist gang while he's looking for a missing child on Turk Street. The film has a solid team of acting talent headed by Samual L. Jackson and Milla Jovovich. As the heist plan unravels, we get to explore the relationships between the characters and have to guess who will be the one left at the end with the money. There are numerous plot twists along the way to maintain the viewers attention of course. There are also a couple of surprisingly unexpected instrumental scenes thrown in for good measure. I found it interesting enough to want to see what happened at the end and I'm happy to recommend it for that alone. See more 04/11/2021 This Samuel L. Jackson bank robber/hostage flick doesn't offer much with regard to either. The plot is laughably convoluted and maybe more enjoyable when watched for its ridiculousness. See more 06/17/2013 this film is a joke, See more 05/28/2013 I wasted an hour and a half on this rubbish, would have given up sooner if it were not for the veteran cast, unbelievably terrible acting from some terrific actors made this film even worse than if it had been a bunch of am dram's, at least they could have been forgiven! This is the worst film I have ever seen, and I've seen some stinkers! I actually would rate Hercules in New York as a much better film! See more 05/27/2013 No good film. Bafflingly awful. See more 09/06/2012 Watched for Jackson and Jovovich, got Skarsgard and Hutchison as bonus. It's a pretty lame story about a bank heist a cello playing cop, but the acting is good. The director of Blood and Wine does well, but it's generally lackluster. Get to see a little Jovovich nipple, but this is just for die-hard fans of noirs or the actors. See more Read all reviews
