Definitive ranking of 2018 horseboys

charlie plummer in lean on pete: 100,000/10
quite possibly the sweetest and softest boy in the world. going out of my way to find a spring internship so i can raise enough funds to buy and send charlie plummer an unnecessary amount of horses

brady jandreau in the rider: 6/10
i know he's playing himself but he seems too nice to be a real person so i gotta knock him points for that, we can't ALL be lucas hedges and charlie plummer. the worst kind of horseboy because he participates in activities that hurt animals yet loves the big ol' pals when they're just chillin'

john c reilly in the sisters brothers : 7/10

Thou shall not steal


David Tennant is a nut. He puts the L in looney as a loco serial killer who enjoys the hunt more than the kill. He’s a crazy sumbitch. I don’t know anyone whom dislikes Tennant. You can tell he’s having a blast. Bad Samaritan might have a $3 budget, but it is a pretty damn entertaining and exciting game of cat and mouse.

What also helps is the petty thief turned hero played by Robert Sheehan. You probably know him from Misfits or Klaus in The Umbrella Academy. He’s a stereotypical dumb hero, doing stupid things, but he’s very likable. He’s a cool guy. 

Like I said earlier, this movie’s budget is very small. Filmed in…

Robert Sheehan and David Tennant, based on Television-leading-man coolness alone, should make BAD SAMARITAN a fun thriller. Sheehan was a dynamite young-mouthpiece with equal parts foul-mouthed wit and adolescent inner fire in MISFITS. And David Tennant, in the few things I've seen him in, elevates the viewing experience of his shows above and beyond their actual quality. He smoulders or enunciates with an actorly, Shakespearean depth that typically leads him to stealing the scenes he's in.

Sheehan works very well in his toned-down version of himself--he's like curly-haired James Franco acting the heck out of his B-movie role. It's Tennant that goes overboard in BAD SAMARITAN. His accent feels clumsy, he's over the top, and he gives the worst-and-longest-and-clumsiest climactic…

The fact that David "ten-inch" Tennant has never really taken his obviously well crafted television career onto a cinematic platform is a confusing conundrum. Maybe the right project hasn't reared its head, or possibly he's simply better suited to television, who knows, but with the exception of his cartoonish turn in the Harry Potter films as Bartemius Crouch Junior, his film career has been forgettable. Unfortunately despite an interesting premise, Bad Samaritan won't do him any favours either and suffers from a touch of over-acting and a rather predictable finale.

Robert Sheehan plays Sean Falco a valet with a side-line in burglarising houses of people eating in the restaurant he and his buddy park cars for. His life however is…

A creative story with solid tension, about a common thief endeavouring to save a girl taken prisoner by a equestrian sadist.

8.2/10

Robert Sheehan plays a burglar who, during a valet scheme, ends up discovering a chained and leather bound woman (Kerry Condon) in the house of a rich arsehole (David Tennant). What follows is two plots - on one side, Sheehan trying to get Tennant arrested and to save his recent victim, and on the other Tennant trying to ruin Sheehan's life to trap and torture him in a more abstract "jail".

I liked the way the story plays out in this. The legal resolution plot keeps enough doubt in the…
