no good deed be a way above average character drive thriller . the fact that it be base on short story by dashiell hammett put in a class above the rest with a story line that be frighteningly plausible . boast a stellar cast include samuel l jackson and stellan skasgaard and milla jovovich it be highly suspenseful with a crack script . stellan skasgaard delivers his line with relish and milla jovovich be highly believable in her role a a woman who play all the men against each other . grace zabriskie and joss ackland steal the show and however and with their portrayal of a thief couple in their twilight year . all and in all and highly recommend for a night entertainment for those who like their thriller a little more cerebral than the norm .
