The basic premises for a truly realistically scary flick are prevalent in "No Good Deed" as women are actually killed by disturbed violent and jealous male lovers.
Colin, well acted by Idris Elba, a convicted killer of women unrealistically escapes from a prison transport van. As a fugitive he wrecks his stolen car near the house of Terry, well acted by Taraji P. Henson. Of course she is alone while her husband is a away and he slyly gains her trust and gets invited into the house.
When Terry discovers he's a sadistic prick who should have never been born, it's too late and the predicable physical conflict begins. She manages to knock him out cold, and as too many of these types of movies play out, she runs away instead of permanently disabling him. Of course he recovers and wreaks more havoc, and for a second time she renders him helpless for a short time and because there is still not enough pages in the script, runs off again instead of finishing the job.
"No Good Deed" takes are real turn to ridiculous town when Terry briefly argues with her husband on the phone when she should be calling the police (911). This DVD is one and a half stars at best.
