There should be something more exhilarating about the violent and hopeful epilogue finale than there is.

It's a little dumb (OK, maybe more than a little), but "No Good Deed" is an otherwise brisk, efficient thriller that won't punish audiences who drop in.
Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
No Good Deed practically fetishizes the brutality Idris Elba's character inflicts on a number of women. It sexualizes him as a killing machine. It wants us to salivate over him and tremble before him simultaneously.

The final plot twist is about as fiendishly clever as an episode of General Hospital. Is that a spoiler? You're welcome.
Rafer Guzman, Newsday
Rotten
With performers as strong as Henson and Elba, and the guidance of director Sam Miller, who's worked with Elba in a handful of Luther episodes, it should have yielded more. The trite third act reveal only further sours the wasted potential.
