The Lost Samaritan Audience Reviews

ThiefHott Too much of everything
Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
realitycheck-673-809680 I have just finished watching this movie on TV and I hurried here to say how impressed I am by the superb craftsmanship behind it. This is not your average crime movie and I'm absolutely stunned to read the fiercely negative reviews by other posters. Didn't they notice the talented cast, the original touch of the creators and, most of all, the movie's emphasis on the power of coincidence?Yes, there are many coincidences in this movie. As a matter of fact, as far as I'm concerned, it shows how a long string of unfortunate coincidences can move your life forward and determine your fate. As someone who has observed this aspect of life for a long time, I am beyond delighted to see how the authors of the movie, the person who conceived and wrote the script, are drawing attention to this as coincidence is something most people fail to notice. Is this why most posters on this page failed to see what is plain to me?I guess they expected to see a plot that nobody has ever seen before. That's understandable but not everything that can make a movie great. Sometimes the beauty is in the details or in the way they fall and meet together. This is one of those rare movies for me. Please note that I haven't said a thing about the plot because I don't want to spoil it for you and get banned from IMDb - you have all the power to see it and decide for yourself and disagree with me if you wish, for that's your right. I just want to attract your attention to what I think is its defining feature.I also believe that the story is very logical, indeed. Perhaps it is because, having seen how life has been a chain of coincidences for many people around, this movie appears entirely realistic to me. Beyond realistic, in fact. Others could call it "contrived" for the same reason but I would and will not. It just takes a pair of eyes and a bit of experience in the movie's direction to fully accept and agree with its viewpoint.Thank you for listening and I wish a pleasant viewing to anyone who will brave the negative reviews.
nathan-yeo 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.
Sebbeman84 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.
afro_031 A really bad movieThis movie, even though with Ian Somerhalder and Ruta Gedmintas whom are hot and good actors fail to make an impression. This low-budget movie couldn't get any worse. Some scenes were plain stupid, you'll know what i'm talking about if you've seen it. In one scene at the hospital, there is a guy who tries to talk to IAN with a gun hidden behind his back, but from the point of Ians view it's easy to spot the gun, since it has a silencer. And half of the gun pops out of his back, really badly done, and of course IAN does not see this. What a laugh!The chemistry between IAN and RUTA is acceptable in this movie but their acting is really bad, though the bad acting from the rest of the cast kind of overshadows IAN, so even though they act bad, they still act the best.There is no variety to the scenes in this movie, they shoot the entire film in "his apartment" "job" "coffe house" And thats it. The lack of variety made the movie boring.The plot in this movie is really cliché, the good old set-up-story. Two men whom lies about working for the federal bureau, but in reality? alleged assassins of some kind. Didn't get the whole part as the movie really did not explain some things, or i wasn't really paying attention during this sleeping pill of a movie.Watching this movie will really make you feel sorry for the directors and everybody involved. The script is horrible, acting and the shots. It was really amateurely done, even I could have done this movie...better.Only thing which makes this at any way worth seeing is IAN and RUTA, the two pretty faces.. but even that is bad..//Axileas
