Ignatiy Vishnevetsky AV Club A bargain-bin biblical epic that delivers the requisite mass-murder-by-ass-jaw as a cheapjack approximation of Zack Snyder-esque pomp, but is for the most part clinically dull. Rated: D+ Feb 16, 2018 Full Review Inkoo Kang TheWrap The movie's most interesting clashes aren't between Samson and the Philistine royals, but between Pure Flix's intent to create "clean" entertainment and the obvious bloodthirstiness of the source material. Feb 16, 2018 Full Review Peter Sobczynski RogerEbert.com While it cannot be faulted for its sincerity, it can be faulted for its sluggish pacing, inconsistent performances and lack of cinematic style that gives the proceedings a tacky feel throughout. Rated: 1.5/4 Feb 16, 2018 Full Review Jim Dixon Film Inquiry Aimed squarely at Christian audiences looking for inspirational family entertainment, Samson is a preachy and plodding drama that's light on excitement, action or any real sense of spirituality. Mar 1, 2019 Full Review Jim Lane Sacramento News & Review The story of the biblical strong man from the Book of Judges is drably retold without a trace of style or showmanship, making Cecil B. DeMille's 1949 Samson and Delilah (which was pretty good already) look like a masterpiece of great art by comparison. Feb 28, 2018 Full Review Linda Cook Quad City Times (Davenport, IA) 'Samson' is a Biblical epic worth watching. Rated: 3/4 Feb 27, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Paul E It was an easy watch, the characters were engaging, the acting was good, it had a theatre feel. Made me want to check out the original story. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/25/24 Full Review RaiderRo D Good movie to watch. PureFlix doesn’t have Hollywood money so all I ask is solid stories & acting. This has it Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/03/24 Full Review Kevin R Solid villain. Solid cast. Solid story telling. Ending could be more epic. Fight choreography must be better for David. Great movie overall but some things do hold it back from being epic. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/06/24 Full Review Carlos T Filme: Sansão Assistido: 18-9-23 Elenco: @tayloractionjames @billyzane @jacksonrathbone @caitlinleahy Modelo: #biblico #aventura Duração: 1h 50m Ano: 2018 Minha opinião: O 3º filme de Sansão, este é o mais recente. Um filme sem atores desconhecidos com ressalva a Rutger Hauer (Blade Runner). Um filme que conta a historia da era dos juízes da Biblia, e conta a guerra entre Israelitas e Filisteus. E nesse período temos Sansão que foi consagrado como Narizeu como promessa de sua mãe. E Sansão dotado de uma força descomunal e derrotando os Filisteus por várias vezes. Então eles armam Rei Balek para que Dalila descubra o segredo dele de tanta força. E Dalila seduz Sansão, mas ela é engada por Sansão do seu segredo. Até que ele revela e é pego pelos Filisteus. Enquanto e humilhado e descobre que foi traído, pede a Deus uma ultima vez. Roteiro e enredo razoável. Vale apena assistir? Se tiver um tempo. Nota: 5 Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/24 Full Review Gigi This is a really great movie my family loves it so do I ❤️ Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/13/23 Full Review Audience Member An epic biblical story that was done fairly well. It is worth watching. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
