[A Brief Review] No Good Deed ~Spoilers~



I saw No Good Deed recently. It was honestly everything I expected it to be.
First I would like to say, major props to Idris Elba and Taraji P. Henson for channeling their inner soap opera actors and injecting endless amounts of awkward drama into the plot.

The movie begins and you can immediately sense that Terri's (Henson) character is in need of some soul searching as she in the midst of some obvious relationship troubles, while her husband prepares to "go on a golfing trip" with his father. Of course, a storm is coming and she will be left alone in her house in the storm with the children.

Terri has a best friend, Meg, who offers some comic relief throughout the film and shows up at just the right moments.

There is a major plot twist at the end that you may or may not see coming. SPOILER COMING....Throughout the movie you think he is at Terri's house coincidentally, because his car actually crashed near by, when REALLY he showed up at her house very purposefully. but I will leave it at that.

I would give it 3.5 out of 5 stars because it keeps your attention and the entertainment of it makes you overlook the cheesy factor. It could have been worse.
