**SPOILER ALERT**

So I haven't seen a good movie in a long time. I just haven't had much time to go this summer like I'm used to. However, once I saw the trailer for this movie, I knew I had to be front and center when it hit theaters for two reasons: 

(1) Idris Elba is in it- DUH!!!!! and 

(2) I love a good psychological, suspense, thriller.

Another reason is because African-Americans don't get a variety of movies in Hollywood these days (I know I'm not the only one who's OVER all the slave movies). 

Now, I saw Twelve Years a Slave, D'Jango, and The Help and all the rest and while they were interesting, we are so much more than slaves and maids. About the only time WE are portrayed in roles other then these is if a biopic is being made about someone's life. 

**Sidenote: I still need to see the James Brown movie**

Anyway, back to No Good Deed. I was so happy to see Idris playing a role we don't normally see him in. I think he does crazy quite well. I knew almost from the beginning that he was out for blood and wouldn't stop until he accomplished what he wanted to do. 

I've dated guys like his character, Colin- they start out sweet and charming then all of a sudden they turn on you with seemingly no warning. As for Taraji's character Terri, I could see from the moment her husband came onscreen that he was having an affair. His interaction with her was so dry and forced. She wanted his attention and he had no time for her which is more than likely, the reason why she was obviously so smitten with Colin the moment he knocked on her door, i.e.-trying to fix her hair when she ran in the bathroom to get him a towel to dry off. Here was this dark, sexy, mysterious man at her door and for a moment, she let her guard down and gave in to his charm.

As the movie went on, she began to realize he was crazy as hell and the cat & mouse game played out until the end and while I couldn't wait to see what would happen in the end, I was left wanting more. The movie was only 84 minutes, which made everything go fast and it seemed rushed. I wanted the scene to play out more once Terri found out her husband was sleeping with Colin's girl- which is the reason for him going to her house in the first place. I enjoyed the fight scene between Colin & Terri but again, it seemed to be over so fast. And am the only one who thinks that Colin still wasn't dead in the end? 

Overall, it was a good movie and I hope to see more movies like this from Black Hollywood in the future. Good job to all the actors. I give this movie an 8 out of 10.

If the camera man had aimed just a tad bit lower when Idris stripped down in the shower, I would have rated it a 10. I mean I get it was PG-13, but I see more nakedness and teens kissing and making out like grown folks on Lifetime and other tv shows. A little butt cheek action  up against the shower door wasn't going to hurt nobody...IJS!
