I did not enjoy the movie. The trailer looked really interesting and I really like David Tennant.

The movie had some strange editing choices. It’s unintentionally funny but not a movie thats so bad its fun. To give you a quick spoiler free review it’s about a valet who tries to rob David Tennant’s place. When he is about to leave he sees a woman tied up. The rest of the movie is him trying to notify the police but it becomes a “Cat and Mouse” game between the valet and David Tennant. But increasingly gets silly and overall the stuff that is supposed to be scary or intense falls flat or is just funny.

That whole "...until they broke into the wrong house..." premise is certainly not original, but it's a trope I genuinely enjoy, and Bad Samaritan is a great and interesting example of it.

Final rating:★★★½ - I really liked it. Would strongly recommend you give it your time.
