[A] perfectly serviceable thriller.

Everything plays out brutally, and the acting's not bad. But it's unsettling for external reasons beyond its control.

There's a few table-turning twists that lend a veneer of final-girl sister-power ... but little else to provide big-screen distraction. Watch it here ****/watch-29f8d1-No-Good-Deed-movie-online-free-putlocker.html

Director Sam Miller’s attempt to take us on a thrill ride feels more like a slow train pulling up to the station.

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.

It’s certainly not good. But it’s not entirely dire.

Even without Mr. Rice in the news, No Good Deed would be damaged goods: an inert “Cape Fear” rehash that can’t seem to choose its favorite contrivance.

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

Good thriller, especially considering the shoestring budget. Even though the script could've done with a little more suspense, the superb acting and directing makes up for it.

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. It is what it is.

No Good Deed starts a little sketchy. Not fully giving a back ground on its main character, but enough to keep you interested in the events about to unfold. Overall good movie, not a significant climax, however a twist at the end of the movie leaves you feeling like you got your money's worth. Not a plethora of well known actors but with the limited cast this movie does not disappoint, if your expectations aren't sky high.

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.

Well acted (Idris Elba is appropriately creepy), but the script is weak, and the direction is lack lustre. The pacing is bleak and predictable and this might be one of longest 85 minutes in film history. Terrible.
