The plot: A young boy learns that a superhero who was thought to have gone missing after an epic battle twenty years ago may in fact still be around.
The Samaritan Movie was just fine.
Pros: Sylvester Stallone was so good playing the silent unstoppable vigilante. He and Sam have nice chemistry together and the action was very brutal.
Cons: The other gang members were less intimidating. The main storyline was a missed opportunity to give more details of the backstory. And after watching this film I thought I don’t want to see any more like this.
