REVIEW - The Samaritan

It's a pleasure to see Samuel L Jackson in something that doesn't require he wear an eyepatch and start ordering around dipsticks dressed in superhero outfits.

In this he's just released from twenty-five years in prison, trying to go straight. Unsurprisingly, that doesn't work out, and he gets embroiled in a scheme hatched by his ex-partner.

That "scheme" is a grift, called The Samaritan.

Against his better judgement, Jackson plays along, but the whole film is a bit lacking in pace.

It's made in an older film noir style, and wasn't quite enough to keep me captive.
