American thriller in which a pair of burglars get more than they bargained for when they make a disturbing discovery in one of their victims' homes.

When Sean takes off in Cale (David Tennant)'s expensive sports car to pay his home a visit, he is astounded when he discovers that the owner has been detaining a young woman against her will.
Wrestling with his conscience, he confesses to the police his reason for lurking in the man's property and the discovery he made there. But when they begin investigating Cale and come up with nothing, he doesn't take too kindly to his privacy being invaded. Will Sean be able to free the girl and keep Cale from hunting him down too?
*** Critic Reviews For Bad Samaritan ***
- “Bad Samaritan is a well-directed thriller with knuckle-chewing suspense.” – Rex Reed
, Observer
- " While Bad Samaritan isn't exactly a good film, it is weirdly charming, thanks to its creators' exuberant commitment to unabashedly tacky ideas. " – Simon Abrams , RogerEbert.com
- " A few plot contrivances aside, the unspectacular Bad Samaritan is tense and disturbing enough, and worth its weight in popcorn. " – Brad Wheeler , Globe and Mail
