The story follows a kid who suspects that his neighbor is secretly a superhero who was believed to have died many years prior. The film stars Sylvester Stallone in the main role, Javon "Wanna" Walton, Pilou Asbæk, Dascha Polanco, and Moisés Arias. It is a co-production of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Balboa Productions. Described as a dark, new take on superhero movies, the story was previously adapted into the Mythos Comics graphic novels by Schut, Marc Olivent, and Renzo Podesta.
Mostly unnecessary filler between the action scenes.Samaritan is a 2022 American superhero film directed by Julius Avery and written by Bragi F. Still, despite it's 80's throw-back appeal - the film isn't all action. I still can't believe the unbelievable shape these guys are in! They're giants (exception for Jet-li of course). No 90's or new millennium "action" movie star will ever come close to being anywhere near as genuinely tough and just plain bad-arse as their 80's predecessor's! Even now with the main 'Expendables' cast pushing 60 +, you know that they would snap Matt Damon's spine in 2 with one hand tied behind their backs! The 'Expendables' cast consists of Sly Stallone as the fearless leader of the team, Jason (Basketball stabber) Statham as the trusty knife-throwing sidekick, Dolph Lundgren as the treacherous giant one, Jet-Li as the small one, Terry Chews as Wesley Snipes, Mickey Rourke as the tattoo/previous knife-throwing sidekick and Randy Couter as the "who the hell is this guy, oh he's a UFC fighter" guy.
This is a film made for action movie fans and not just regular action movies - I mean REAL action films in the style of the classic 80's action movies where plot and substantial character developments and dialogue took a backseat to intense over-the-top violence, explosions, car chases, sex scenes and catchy, memorable one liners! The 80's action hero (and villain) breed was a rare phenomenon which will likely die with those very actors who gave them life. Anyone with half a brain can tell exactly what kind of film this is and what they're in for purely by the film's trailer alone. Q) Is it a likely Oscar nomination contender? A) Hell no! Q) Is it still awesome? A) HELL YES!!!!! Critics should be banned from reviewing films such as these.
Q) Is the overall film original? A) Not at all. Q) Is there romance? A) Next question, please. Q) Are there character arcs and meaningful character developments? A) A little. So let's get them out of the way first shall we? Q) Is the plot descent, with a substantial storyline including dramatic arcs, twists and/or turns? A) Not particularly.
So I guess with any film review - it's all about the answers to the important questions.
