Critics' reviews

"Elba (...) gives the film more dignity than it deserves, and Henson delivers a performance of complex emotional shadings. But their fine work is utterly wasted in this B-movie exploitation thriller"

Frank Scheck: The Hollywood Reporter
"[A] perfectly serviceable thriller."

Inkoo Kang: The Wrap
"Despite competent performances and packaging, dialogue and situations in Aimee Lagos' script are too routine to create much excitement"

Dennis Harvey: Variety
"There's an intriguing premise buried in there that could have resulted in a smart look inside the mind of a malignant narcissist"

Lindsey Bahr: SFGATE
"Idris Elba's talents wasted in plodding thriller (...) Rating: ★½ (out of four)"

Rafer Guzmán: Newsday
"It’s a little dumb (OK, maybe more than a little), but No Good Deed is an otherwise brisk, efficient thriller that won’t punish audiences who drop in."

Gary Goldstein: Los Angeles Times
"Director Sam Miller’s attempt to take us on a thrill ride feels more like a slow train pulling up to the station."
