Theater Whore: No Good Deed

No Good Deed 7/10

This was a fun movie. I watched this with my cousin Mala and this is one of those movies that you will either love or hate. I think a lot of it depends on what kind of movies you watched growing up. No Good Deed was like a lot I saw as a kid and loved so I was all in. I went from smacking my lips at bad decision making to cheering then back to smacking my lips. Then I cheered again. There will be lots of spoilers.

In this Idris Elba plays Colin Evans a guy that was charged for killing a guy in a bar fight defending his girlfriend. Yeah, there's something about him maybe killing five other women as well. He doesn't get paroled after pretending he is all good now and escapes from the prison transport. He immediately finds his former girlfriend and confronts her about not opening any of his letters or contacting him. He chokeslams her, breaks her neck, then pummels her with a lamp. Women still want him though because it's Idris.

Meanwhile Terri Granger played by Taraji P. Henson who is fine as hell is busy raising her newborn son and daughter while her husband is busy working and being an asshole. He is leaving for a few days to be with his father for his birthday. So he goes and his wife begins to stop using logic.

Idris shows up to her house after wrecking his car. He lies an says that his car broke down and wants to use her phone. She says yes because Idris. She then invites him inside and offers him tea! Oh, to look as good as this man! She then lets slip that she and her husband are not doing well and he is not coming home. Then her friend comes over and they all have wine. The friend calls him out on his shit and he kills her ass.

Now Idris is in full crazy mode. He gets too close to the little daughter and Taraji tries to make him leave. They get into a fight and she blasts his ass with a fire extinguisher and knocks him down the stairs. He gets up and forces her at gunpoint into the shower. I can't write the sounds my cousin made during this.

He forces the whole family into a car and she sees her friend is dead. They end up being pulled over after she flashes her lights at the cops. A policeman pulls them over and I am shouting for her to say something. Yes, he has her kids in the car but come on now. This man is past crazy! She ends up getting the cop killed trying to help this crazy ass dude.

Idris takes them back to the first lady he killed. I don't wanna spoil anymore of what happens at this point because the ending was incredible. Even if you weren't on board completely watching this the ending was really fun to watch. I wasn't excited about seeing this but it turned out to be a really fun movie to watch.
