So I saw No Good Deed and it was OK I guess. Basically just
a by-the-numbers don’t talk to strangers type thriller. One of Idris Elba’s strengths
is his ability to shift from charming to menacing and back again, and Taraji P.
Henson does a decent job as the scared lady who makes all the mistakes. While
not a particularly bad movie, it
doesn’t really innovate or do anything out of the ordinary. Even the famous
twist at the end is more of a “huh, that’s interesting I guess” instead of a “wow!”
The best way to watch this movie is with a bunch of people
who don’t mind being noisy making fun of all the terrible decisions Henson
makes throughout the film. “No, don’t let him in the house!” “No! Don’t tell
him your husband isn’t coming home tonight!” “NOOO! Don’t put down that heavy
household object, keep hitting him with it!”
Nothing you haven’t seen before. Missable.
