All I really know is that it has Samual L. Jackson in it but has anyone seen it or know if it could be any good. We are supposed to open it this weekend.

I heard this movie played in Europe last year or something like that. Is this a wide release? It will be playing here (our little city usually misses most indie/limited releases).

Heh, I was in the same boat on this film. We found out yesterday we are opening it on Friday. We asked our booker for any info he had about it, and his response was, "I have no idea."

Well here is a little info I found out about it. Seems it did come out last year over seas under the title The House on Turk Street. It is due to come out on DVD in November.

Based on a story of the same name by Dashiell Hammett, the crime thriller The House on Turk Street was directed by veteran filmmaker Bob Rafelson. Cello-playing cop Jack Friar (Samuel L. Jackson) searches for a teenage runaway on Turk Street and ends up in the home of an elderly couple (Joss Ackland and Grace Zabriskie). The house also turns out to be the headquarters for a gang of criminals who are planning a bank robbery, and Jack is quickly held hostage. When Jack is left alone with gang member Erin (Milla Jovovich), he teaches her to play the cello and the two share a mutal attraction. Meanwhile, Erin continues to manipulate gang leader Tyrone (Stellan Skarsgard), violent thug Hoop (Doug Hutchison), and inside man David (Johnathan Higgins).

No Good Deed is a "Limited Markets" release per EDI; this picture is opening in Philadelphia but not in New York.

The AMC Hamilton gets to open this film alongside Thirteen and American Splendor.
