A few, including teenager Sam (Javon Walton), think Samaritan still lives and when his taciturn neighbour Joe (Sylvester Stallone) saves Sam from a street gang he begins to think that Joe just might be the fabled hero.
This non franchise superhero movie starts out promisingly. It's not the most subtle thing but the first act has some nice touches. The gang lord has a hint of being a Robin Hood type. Joe is obviously somebody unusual and there's some OK interplay with a conspiracy theorist bookstore owner with the obligatory wall of clippings and red string.
Then suddenly bam they stop giving a fuck about even the slightest trace of nuance. It all just reverts to pure on rails action bullshit of the dullest kind and Stallone seems to start playing a different character like he's forgotten he's not in Expendables 27.
By the time we're into the showdown in the burning warehouse (I'm as assuming the sets and digital assets are cheap) I couldn't give even as many fucks as the filmmakers had ceased to.
Don't bother 2/10, avoid.
