Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times It's an absorbing, atmospheric noir with nice little touches. Rated: 3/4 Oct 1, 2003 Full Review Ellen Fox Chicago Tribune This undermarketed noir suffers because many of its characters don't seem to belong in the same universe. Rated: 2/4 Sep 20, 2003 Full Review Richard Roeper Ebert & Roeper ... just a ridiculous story that layers one ridiculous, silly, contrivance after another. Sep 15, 2003 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Flawed but passable noir. Rated: B- Feb 5, 2017 Full Review Mark Halverson Sacramento News & Review Rated: 4/5 Aug 7, 2008 Full Review Hartford Courant Rated: 0/4 Sep 20, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews

Test T 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/29/24 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member this film is a joke, Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member 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! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member No good film. Bafflingly awful. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
