No Good Deed (The House on Turk Street) is an American-German Thriller from the year 2002 based on the novel „The House on Turk Street“ from Dashiell Hammett, 1924While searching for a runaway teenager, the cop Jack (Samuel L. Jackson) is taken hostage by a group of criminals who are planning a bank robbery.
Jack is being left alone with the gang leader's girlfriend Erin (Milla
Jovovich) to watch over him while the others of the gang going to execute their plan of robbing the bank. Jack and Erin are getting closer and from that time on there is a lot of trouble between the members of the gang. Everyone seems to be eager to get near Erin and to make a conspiracy plan with her against the others.
The film did not really catch much of my attention. There are some close looks into the psyche of every protagonist and the characteres even had something (unintentional?) funny but I was missing a clear story and any surprising moment. Samuel L. Jackson to me is not a really good actor, in this film he gets along with one single face expression. Adorable Milla Jovovich however plays really good and expressive...well, she is much too charming and glamorous...far risen above any possible critics!!
