No Good Deed (2002)

The Need to Feed
27 December 2003
Welcome to a new episode of a never ending story: how stupidity stole everything. It's painful to watch someone trying to achieve something way out of reach.

I am obliged to label this film "disastrous" and "pathetic", mainly because of a terrible, lame script and terrible, lame dialog. But what really pains me is the fact that it tries to pull a stunt right at the end, which should leave the viewer (in his possible absentmindedness) totally shocked. And when a film relies on such "tricks" and these don't work...well, it's just sad.

I won't insist on the rather technical flaws, like the pouring rain, which only pours on half of the screen. But what I will say is this: I've seen today that some actors can not advance: Doug Hutchison is a disappointment, considering that I've first seen him in "The Green Mile"; Milla Jovovich is the second. Maybe it's just her terribly silly character, but I tend to think it's her.

Having said what I think mattered (and just so I leave out any chance of misinterpretation: the film is BAD), I would recommend it to those who really want to see lame stories and maybe learn something out of them. I wonder if anyone tried to do some character study of these guys...
