The Samaritan (2012)

Director:	David Weaver
Actors:	Samuel L. Jackson, Luke Kirby, Ruth Negga, Tom Wilkinson

The grift is on in The Samaritan, a gritty serving of pulp fiction masterfully perpetrated by Samuel L. Jackson as a philosophical ex-con trying to buck the considerable odds by taking a shot at redemption. This is a classic con - the inside man, the outside man, the catch and the mark. It's a dangerous and high risk setup requiring nerves of steel, precision timing and a bit of finesse to make it convincing. Foley (SAMUEL L. JACKSON) could do it in his sleep - if he wanted to. But he doesn't and he won't. That is until Ethan (LUKE KIRBY) raises the stakes and plays some cards that Foley never knew were in the deck. He's trapped and the con is on.
