Why people love it

Samaritan (2022) stuck because it commits to its science fiction premise without apologizing—viewers remember set pieces and momentum as much as plot. Julius Avery's control of tone keeps the ride coherent. The science fiction and crime blend is the engine: it lets the film shift registers without feeling like two different movies stitched together.
