    • Trivia
      When David (Jonathan Higgins) is driving in the rain, the song playing is "(I'm Not Your) Stepping Stone", which originated on the television series The Monkees (1966), which Bob Rafelson created. The version in the film was performed by his son, Peter Rafelson.
    • Goofs
      The most likely cause of a diabetic coma that came on as fast as the one Jack had is severe diabetic hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Erin did the right thing originally by trying to give him an orange; she needed to raise his blood sugar. When she went to his home, she found his Insulin. Giving him insulin would only have made him worse. A coma caused by high blood sugar would have been a lot longer in coming.
    • Quotes

      Erin: I can't let you escape, because then I would have to escape, and nobody escapes Tyrone.

      Jack Friar: That's ridiculous.

      Erin: Is it? This is how Tyrone says you shouldn't have escaped.

      [Erin removes a shoe to reveal a toe is missing]

      Erin: It's alright, I get 10% off my pedicures now.

    7/10
    Predictable, entertaining neo-noir
    The plot: A cop doing a favor for a friend ends up unwillingly getting involved in a heist.

    No Good Deed is an interesting neo-noir/heist movie. Sam Jackson, a lonely and frustrated cop, starts off investigating a runaway daughter for his neighbor, only to stumble into a heist that is already underway. Taken hostage, he anxiously awaits his fate while trying to get some kind of angle on his captors.

    The captors include a femme fatale, a violent thug, a cultured and domineering mastermind, and a racist elderly couple. They've also got an inside man that they're conning. This quirky group provides some black humor and tension. We're introduced to each character early, and the development is done rather well. The characters play off of each other in interesting ways, though I suppose it's pretty obvious that Jackson is the match to this powder keg. Still, it's fun to watch the requisite backstabbing, double-crosses, and con games as they play out.

    If you're looking for a slick, fast-paced thriller, you might end up being a bit bored or disappointed. The biggest problem is that the whole thing is a bit predictable, though you'll probably forgive that if you're a fan of the actors or neo-noir. It seems worth a 6 or 7, rather than the somewhat mediocre score that it has now.
