No Good Deed (2014 film)

No Good Deed is a 2014 American psychological thriller film directed by Sam Miller and written by Aimée Lagos.

The film stars Idris Elba, Taraji P. Henson, Leslie Bibb, Kate del Castillo, and Henry Simmons.

Despite negative critical reception, the film was a box office success and received two Image Award nominations, winning one for Taraji P. Henson's performance.

As she begins to call out to Terri, Colin quickly grabs a shovel and bashes Meg in the head with it, killing her.

Alarmed, she rushes to the kitchen to call the police, only to find out that Colin has disconnected all the wires and hidden all her knives.

As they exit the bedroom, Terri hits him with a fire extinguisher, making him fall down the stairs; she runs to get her children, but Colin has recovered.

Sometime later, a much more confident Terri returns to her career and has moved into a new house with her children, accompanied by a nanny bearing a resemblance to Meg.

This date conflicted with another Will Packer-produced film, Ride Along, a Universal Pictures release that stars Ice Cube and Kevin Hart.

Yet again, in early October 2013 (and giving no specific reason), Screen Gems for a third time pushed backed the release date of the film to September 12, 2014.

The site's consensus reads, "Dull, derivative, and generally uninspired, No Good Deed wastes its stars' talents -- and the audience's time.

[11] Screen Gems and Madison Gate Records released the soundtrack to the film No Good Deed digitally and physically on September 9, 2014.

Working off great performances by Idris Elba and Taraji P. Henson, this was a unique and rewarding project to be involved with!"
