'Samaritan' A Review

Samaritan is a superhero movie about Sam(Javon "Wanna" Walton) a kid in a crime ridden city(straight out of the original Robocop in it's absurdity) who discovers his elderly neighbor Joe(Stallone) is superpowered.

There isn't much acting to be done here but it's nice to see Walton get some work after The Umbrella Academy and just generally to see Dascha Polanco. Stallone looks pretty bad, face lifts, cheek implants, Botox whatever it may be, can barley move his face. He still has presence but can't do much beyond stoic.

Once the story gets going the action is fun and it's clear the fight choreography is done to allow for Stallone to do some(if not most) of his own stunts. And the production is competent if not really inspired, other than the overwrought set design. 

An odd, underbaked, quasi-entertaining throwback.
