I love Idris Elba, he must be one of my favorite actors, from Stringer bell to luther and even his role in pacific rim, i have thoroughly enjoyed his performances.

This just doesn't work, the characters are way too bland for any of them to put on a good act. And the script is absolutely woeful. Two tumbs down for this mess, "No good Film "… Expand

I think No Good Deed is no good at all. It was a stupid idea to make a movie focusing on abuse, rape, sexual harassment, and acts of violence. There's nothing new to the party including a bland script, weak characters, a dose of a slasher flick meets a undetermined thriller movie, and nothing else comes close. I'm really sorry but don't see it. Women who were abused doesn't need to see this gruesome and sometimes disturbing movie alone.… Expand

As much as I like Idris Elba, in Luthor, I have to agree with the critics on this one, no women I know or for that matter person in general could be that stupid, especially with children.

Weak plot if you can even call it that. Slow, boring and predictable. Idris Elba can't save this movie from being quite the disaster.

Stupid movie. It's cliche as **** predictable as **** There's a million other movies like it. The movies that have come out this year have been awful, and this **** is no different. **** this movie. A 0 out of 10 is generous.

While it's nice to see Idris Elba play evil instead of noble, this by-the-book thriller has cliches, coincidences and plotholes big enough to drive a hot wired vehicle through.

To those who say, c'mon, it's a popcorn thriller to give you some suspenseful thrills, I say, it's hard to enjoy a movie when your brain is shouting, "THIS IS IMPLAUSIBLY STUPID!!" thoughout the film. I could list all sorts of plotholes, but how about this for starters? MINOR SPOILER: A convict being tranported in Tennessee, violently escapes and ends up in Atlanta Georgia. How? By his charm and hot wiring skills? Barely worth a Redbox rental.… Expand

Well acted (Idris Elba is appropriately creepy), but the script is weak, and the direction is lack lustre. The pacing is bleak and predictable and this might be one of longest 85 minutes in film history. Terrible.

Idris Elba must have looked through the script thinking "Wow this movie looks horrible. But a least I play a creepy weirdo for a change".

But a least I play a creepy weirdo for a change". No good Deed is about a devoted wife and mother of two finds her ideal life put in jeopardy when a smooth-talking stranger, who spins a tale about car trouble, manages to get inside her home and soon turns the invitation into a crisis. The biggest thing that made this movie horrible is the movie doesn't know how to tell a creepy story. Idris Elba and Taraji P. Henson did a great job in this movie, but the movie has the most stupidest character that I have seen so far this year since the Purge, and that is Taraji P. Henson character in this movie. She let's this strange crazy man into her own home and let this psychopath play with the kids just because she was trying to be nice. The movie has terrible writing and stupid character's that do stupid things. Overall this movie is a flat horror film with all the cliches in check.… Expand

The most disappointing thing I have seen from Idris Elba.
Taraji P. Henson is already used to it.
