The Lost Samaritan (2009)

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Blistering performances.

I got this movie @ one of the HAJI stores here I IRAQ. They use the comments from IMDb to describe the video. So they used the comment "This film is by far the worst I have ever seen.", it was as good as sold. No yes this is a bad film, it's about 10 years too late. But its low-grade budget. the worst film are the ones high-budget good cast but just trivial drivel and bull-crap dialog.There's a scene in which the hero escapes from the bad guys. The bad guys look at his license plate and hunt him down. The problem is the license plate is obviously European. Hpowever a few scenes later the bad guys identify themselves as FBI agents (to the local American police department). Now this isn't the BOURNE identity so why are American Law Enforcement chasing this guy in a foreign country unless they're supposed to be in America. Yes it's a foreign production of Actors trying to do a cheesy American film. Here this guy is schlep, wife's cheating on him, bad at his job. the only joy he has in his life is this beautiful waitress at the local diner who obviously has a crush on him. He see's something at work he wasn't supposed to, and the hunt is on to kill him. (I.E. Pelican Brief, The FIRM, etc. etc.)No exotic locations or thrilling car chases but a movie just the same.To say the movie was telegraphing scenes is a disgrace to the fast moving telegraph. A far more accurate description was they were boxed, addressed then sat in the back of the mini-van for a month, before someone finally mailed them.

The beginning of this movie is quite OK,The main actor is by far the best actor in the hole movie as he is having a really bad night in the movie whats unfold in an even more worse nightmare like evening.But then the bad guys and other people are getting involved.. then the movie is going downwards really hard.(not to mention the weird accents and the weird face a certain women is making trough the film)The acting is getting bad and the plot is getting no where at all.The overall action is more like talking bullshit then shooting. (next time just shoot and get it over with?)and the END doesn't make any sense at all. Overall opinion of the film: The build up of the movie is OK the rest is downright an failure.give it a 3 for trying.Don't say i warned you!.Grtz TJ

Headline says it all really, and in the interest of saving people from wasting any more time on this movie than they absolutely have to, the headline should suffice really.There are plenty of things I'd rather spend my time doing rather than watching this again. Things like watching the grass grow, watching a slow motion recording of paint drying or why not watch a grape as it turns into a raisin.The main story isn't all bad, although it contains nothing new really. Acting was terrible pretty much through and through, even though some actors are worse than others. Dialogue is poor and often not at all convincing. All put together, there are many scenes in this movie that makes you unsure of whether to laugh or cry.

low budget bad story line couldn't wait for it to finish really! will archer {boone out of lost} is the only one with any acting skills, am surprised he did the movie. How could these professional Actors, Producers, and even the Janitor not see how precitable and bad this movie was before releasing it? I assure you that if I had the money to re-make this movie I could improve it 110 per cent, and I have never made a movie, or even acted in a play but could probably do better!!o I wish I could line everyone up who had anything to do with this movie, and slap them for insulting my intelligence avoid if you can!2/10
