Samaritan

Where: Prime Video
What: Movie, 101 mins.
When: Now
Genre: Superhero, action
Why you should watch: Unremarkable but entertaining update on the classic reluctant-hero trope. Sylvester Stallone stars as a man running from his past and forced to confront it by a well-meaning kid who believes in him as he eventually is made to be a hero again. Stallone satisfyingly plays the troubled, mumbling ex-superhero who’s convinced, despite his resistance, to fight bad guys one more time. While the story’s familiar, a superhero flick not part of a franchise is unique.
