Samaritan follows the story of a young boy, played by Jason Walton from The Umbrella Academy, who suspects that his neighbor is a superhero who goes by the titular name, Samaritan. Without going too much into the spoiler territory, viewers and the young actor played by Walton are thrown into a dark, new take on superheroes, as Stallone’s character must don the proverbial cape and mask to defeat the rise of crime taking hold of Granite City.
As mentioned, the overall reception of the project was lukewarm, to say the least, as the flick boasts a 38 percent Rotten Tomatoes score. However, it seems to have not deterred viewers around the world, marking the second time director Julius Avery’s superhero title has found new life.
