The Bad Samaritan Must Die! (2012)

Recap:

She is an annoying and dumb brat and calls herself The Orphan because her father is dead and maybe she wishes that her mother was, too. She is looking for a father figure and hopes to find it in the Bad Samaritan, a real life “superhero” who is into violence and all kind of substances. Because she is a dumb brat her strategy to get his attention is snatching a handbag. Spoiler: he rejects her, and because she is a dumb brat her plan B is to kill him.

So what we have here is a grim movie, all nihilism and hopelessness. Nice. The least unsympathetic character in this is the hippie copper who is assigned to hunt the vigilante, he is the Bad Samaritan’s only friend and the voice of reason in this movie, but how trustworthy is a man who hangs with a junkie skinhead?

The real problem here is that this is not really a movie. It’s more like an episode of a miniseries that has a story with an ending but also a cliffhanger which leads nowhere because the sequel God Save The Bad Samaritan has not (yet?) been released. However it is nice that this one is not like all the other. And while the star of this movie certainly is not a new Adam West or Christian Bale, at least he’s so much better than Ben Affleck.
