No Good Deed [goes unpunished]
This is not a sneak preview. This film has already released.
It was a dark and stormy night...
...when a mom (Taraji P. Henson) alone with 2 young kids invites a seemingly harmless stranger (Idris Elba) with car trouble into her home. From the beginning, Elba's incredibly scary performance sets the tone for this intense thriller. Henson plays the predictable part of the victim who must fight back to protect her children. Leslie Bibb has the role of the nosy best friend who asks too many questions. You get exactly what you expect from this genre except maybe the slight plot twist near the end.*
Alien gives it 3 "maligned narcissus" stars out of 4.
*The reveal of the plot twist was the excuse the studio gave for the last minute screening cancellation.
