[A] perfectly serviceable thriller. Read full review

There's an intriguing premise buried in there that could have resulted in a smart look inside the mind of a malignant narcissist (which, the movie reminds us over and over again, was Jeffrey Dahmer's diagnosis too). Read full review

Elba's reunites with Luther director Sam Miller to lesser effect in a workaday home-invasion thriller. Read full review

Jesse Hassenger

Sep 12, 2014

By its end, No Good Deed becomes troublingly easy to read as a parable about the untrustworthiness of black men. The filmmakers may not have intended it that way, but the movie is so bereft of anything else that its forays into moralistic paranoia stick out. Read full review

Elba, who recruited his former Luther director Miller into the project, gives the film more dignity than it deserves, and Henson delivers a performance of complex emotional shadings. But their fine work is utterly wasted in this B-movie exploitation thriller that would barely make for passable viewing on late night cable television. Read full review

In order to keep the flimsy narrative going, both allegedly brilliant characters are forced to act like morons throughout. Read full review

No Good Deed is an example of the worst kind of exploitative thriller — and it’s being released during the worst possible week. Read full review

There's a few table-turning twists that lend a veneer of final-girl sister-power ... but little else to provide big-screen distraction.

Don't let bad reviews stop you from watching this generally entertaining thriller flick. It comes off with a slow start and has very predictable moments, but it should have enough in it to keep the normal viewer watching-- For what It's worth. Just don't watch it expecting a whole lot.

While this movie does have solid performances by Idris Elba and Taraji P. Henson and has some exciting moments sprinkled in, No Good Deed suffers from being way too slow and very predictable along with having annoying shaky-cam, poor lighting, and really stupid characters.

The problem with this movie is how dumb Aimee Lagos created the characters and this script. Why is Idris Elba in this movie? yes he was the best part of the film but why?

So Elba plays Colin an unstable convict who just hates woman and even wants to hurt them and kill them. Then Tarji P Henson's character does a good deed by letting Colin stay in her home after his car accident.

Weak plot if you can even call it that. Slow, boring and predictable. Idris Elba can't save this movie from being quite the disaster.

Stupid movie. It's cliche as **** predictable as **** There's a million other movies like it. The movies that have come out this year have been awful, and this **** is no different. **** this movie. A 0 out of 10 is generous.
