Started off reasonably well but gradually descended into farce with some truly dreadful acting with no suspense, zero scares or anything remotely new or interesting to see and utilizing some of the writing of Final Destination rather than come up with something fresh and new it plays out like a made for tv wet Sunday afternoon movie.

Writer and director Jeffrey Reddick wrote the Final Destination series - they say we all have one book in us all so I guess that was his but this one is a dud!

This film highlights some pertinent issues, such as the fact that we do not help others when they are in situations of difficulty, even violence. Our morbid interest in the violence that happens to others. around us. how to overcome mourning. Strange dreams and events surround Caitlin, our heroine, hallucinations of all kinds that make her unreliable in the eyes of the authorities. Another multiracial couple is fashionable, but nothing against it. some similarities, of tenuous ideas with final Destination, here or there. There is a twist in the film but very poorly designed. As in the thrillers of lifetime, a terrible disappointment. No spoilers, Thriller is watchable although only once. promising start that degrades the end of time, both the script and the performance of the actors, the direction is average.NOT AN HORROR MOVIE AT ALL a Thriller.

Don't waste your time watching or waiting for this low budget flop to get interesting! Very poor acting with disastrous narratives!

The writing, the acting, the storyline, it's all absolute nonsense.

I think the situation just inspire by many real event but the movie just falling apart and cannot deliver the message as well as boring as hell. The horror part just not terrifying and non sense for coming out the horror....

Although topic is perfect, the way it is all presented, meaning story and actors is so bad. Like people exercising movie recording. Too fake, boring, amateur. Not good.

Honestly I liked this one, the subject was interesting and it was different but... the last act when everything is reveal just destroyed what happened before and turned the film from a good " you reap what you sow" concept to a petty revenge film.

Too bad without this it would have been a 7/10, but because of this I'm force to go with a 5.

The underlying premise of writer/director Jeffrey Reddick's Good Samaritan a.k.a. Don't Look Back is really worthy of a decent film. Examining the guilt, responsibilities, or otherwise, of non - intervening witnesses to crimes, who prefer to film the events they see, on their phones, rather than render any assistance. In fact the opening credit sequence, intercut with various real life (I think) examples of this relatively modern social occurrence is the best in the film and hits home pretty hard.

The problems begin to occur soon after we encounter the story proper. Home invasion survivor of an incident that saw her father murdered, Caitlin Kramer is one of a number of people, who witness a man being beaten to death in a park. Though still traumatised by the after effects of the home invasion, Caitlin is able to borrow a phone from a bystander who filmed the attack and call the police. Later Caitlin feels she has to investigate, when some of the other witnesses begin to suffer gruesome deaths.

Reddick seems to have issues deciding what exact form his movie should take. A slasher film such as The Final Destination movies, a franchise he helped create? Or some sort of psychological thriller with mildly supernatural and religious undertones? Either way, what he ends up delivering isn't particularly gripping and involving. Things aren't helped by Kortney Bell's pretty ordinary performance as Caitlin, whose character isn't drawn particularly sympathetically either. In a wildly inconsistent role we viewers are constantly expected to believe she is capable of frequently alternating between lamb and lion dependent on narrative demands. One minute a wimpy onlooker, the next minute a plucky investigator intent on showering others with unwanted assistance. Skyler Hart as her boyfriend Josh Bowman, is actually drawn more realistically and sensibly. But of course she never takes his advice.

Similarly because the film is drawn from Caitlin's perspective, we frustratingly never really find out whether the many hallucinations we see, courtesy of a series of telegraphed jump shocks, are part of her diagnosed psychosis, or a creepy, supernatural element. The story is also requiring of the old standby of poor police work. (A vagrant assailant is fully caught beating a guy to death on camera and on TV and is never picked up by the cops until the storyline says it has to happen now?? A character just walks in to an un (police) guarded hospital room, where a murder suspect is being kept, because a twist ending was required??

Good Samaritan is that sort of film. Based on a potentially worthy concept, it aims for atmosphere and originality, but sadly settles for cliches and cheap, loud thrills. It's 3.7 IMDB rating is a strong indicator of its entertainment value.

Wasn't the best movie I'd ever seen bt it kept my attention and that's rare. I usually get bored with movies half way through but this movie kept me intrigued. Very good movie.

I know this is not a great movie. In fact, it's not even a very good movie. However, isn't it better than that garbage called (quite place) or that worthless (girl on a train)?! And yet, the ones I mentioned, and more, got high ratings just because of the big production company and the famous stars! This one can be considered as a TV film with a low budget. It has some kind of a spiritual humane message, yeah fine. 3.9 as a total rating though? Blind and unfair! By comparison, this is something.

This film had a lot of potential and had some really nice ideas running through it. Unfortunately those ideas got lost in translation, paired with some terrible acting, resulted in a rollercoaster of a movie in terms of highs and lows. I love that they used such a current problem right now (people filming things instead of helping) and turned it into a horror movie. I really liked the premise and what the movie aspired to be. The main actress wasn't talented enough to pull this off, I found her quite jarring. And she was 'supported' by an even worst cast. The two revelations at the end were pretty decent; the final revelation a pleasant surprise. It's just a shame most of the characters had zero depth.

Why blame others for others death?. If i were in their shoes.. i might not be able to help the victim.. i dont mind the acting.. but the story really sucks..

My God! One of the worst films I've ever seen in my life! It's an amazing something but not a story, or film, an expose a literary anything. Good grief! In the beginning of the film, Caitlin and her boyfriend sit down for hot chocolate. He hands her the large size (large?) cup of hot chocolate and she uses the prop just like an empty cardboard cup; even pretends to take a large swallow of the 'hot chocolate' which, of course, unless you have lips and a mouth made of asbestos, you cannot do. This movie is not even remotely similar to Final Destination.

As a very disturbing one that was filled with sharp turns and twists filled with horrifying scenes really great directing there's not that much I can say about this movie just don't go into it with a full stomach this is not your average horror movie I don't need to say that you should watch it you might regret it it's very scary It's so amazingly written and such a thrill ride. Not for the faint of heart!! Definitely would recommend to true horror fans! 10/10

This movie tried so hard to make a twist ending, but when there's limited characters to choose from it's pretty easy to figure out "who done it" in movies like this. Unfortunately it felt like forever waiting for the last character to figure out what you knew from the start.

The writing was poop and they couldn't seem to make up their mind whether they wanted to write a supernatural or slasher movie. Worst of all they hired actors that seemed too bored to actually act. Sometimes it was like they were reading from cue cards, their delivery was so flat, but it didn't help to have some bad dialogue either.

No real gore, nothing different or creative, and an especially lame "imagined" scene thrown in. This movie was not very good at all, and not a good waste of one's time.

This was a very weird watch because it seems to have been shot well, but the story and the writing on so bad. A ton of events occur, out of sync with reality, but not in the way where it seems like something supernatural is happening. Things are inconsistent because of terrible, lazy, "our audience is too stupid to care about continuity" type of writing. Bad script, bad acting with false emotions throughout, a stupid scheme that goes nowhere, interactions that happen between characters that would never happen, etc... This movie has nothing going for it. I'll never watch this again. Skip it and spare yourself the annoyance.

I'm not a Horror movie fan but I enjoyed this movie. Kourtney Bell and cast did a great job! This movie caught me off guard a few times. I even screamed out loud at one point!!! I love the ending.

Okay...first and for most, I've had WAY too much Tequila. I don't apologize. I LOVE Tequila. Anyway, I have seen way worse than this, believe me. I love the twist at the end and to me, this was a great film. it kept my interest and it was creepy at some times. Really no jump scares to mention, but it stays in the bounds of "This really isn't too bad." It does keep you guessing at who is behind this and it does deliver. At least it it all explained at the end, so it all makes sense. Some horror movies just leave you hanging at the end. I REALLY hate that. I give it a full WATCH IT. Peace.

Good Student Project C mark

But please do not try to release this to some desperate studio exec ....

... oh fk you did not listen to me did you!!!

Predictable and boring with a dose of political corectness for seasoning.

Not a good movie.

Not really worth watching unless you don't have any paint to watch drying.
