September 8, 2014
Coming out this week is the thriller ‘No Good Deed,’ directed by Sam Miller and starring Idris Elba, Taraji P. Henson, Leslie Bibb, Kate del Castillo, and Henry Simmons.
Terri (Taraji P. Henson), a devoted wife and mother of two, lives an ideal life that takes a dramatic turn when her home and children are threatened by Colin (Idris Elba), a charming stranger who smooth-talks his way into her house, claiming car trouble. The unexpected invitation leaves her and her family terrorized and fighting for survival.
For Elba, it’s his 5th collaboration with producer Will Packer after The Gospel, This Christmas, Obsessed, and Takers. It’s also his first time he’s flirted with being seen as the bad guy since his days as drug dealer Stringer Bell on the HBO acclaimed series, The Wire.
In speaking with Blackfilm.com correspondent Justine Browning, Elba discusses his role in ‘No Good Deed’ and wanting his audience to understand his character before making judgments.
No Good Deed hits theaters on September 12.
