No Good Deed (The House on Turk Street) (2002)

An average movie

“Back in the 70's, Bob Rafelson directed the instant classic 'Five Easy Pieces' starring Jack Nicholson and was promised a bright future. Unfortunately, 40 years later, his movies are not so impressive anymore. This flick is a good example. You have a nice cast (Samuel L. Jacksonm, Milla Jovovich, Stellan Skarsgård) and a good mood so the whole thing had some potential. However, there was some big issue with the story itself. I mean, they keep you in the dark as long as they can and, for a while, I must admit, it was rather intriguing, but, at some points, they eventually had to explain what's going on and, honestly, I wasn't impressed (understatement of the year...). As usual, they throw in a couple of annoying twists and then I really lost any interest in the whole endeavour. To conclude” read more

this is bad

“I thought I'd seen my share of bad movies. Boy was I wrong! This is pure crap.

It turned out to be a promising story, although depicting cops as intellectuals has always been funny!

Jackson is a cop who plays the cello and is on his way to a musical camp, when a neighbour requests him to find her daughter, who's been missing for 3 days. Reluctantly he gives up his vacation with his music, and starts an investigation around Turk Street. There, he stumbles upon a bunch of cons, including a girl (Milla Jovovich).

The script was stupid. Very unrealistic. Also it had many flaws, I don't even know where to start.

The acting was terribly bad, and hard to watch, even Jackson was awful, that means it was also badly directed because Jackson is an excellent act” read more
