Samaritan – Trailer (German) HD
Stallone’s new superhero film seems like a mix of Logan and Unbreakable
Samaritan is about 13-year-old Sam Cleary (Javon ‘Wanna’ Walton) who suspects a mysterious neighbor of a hides a big secret. He’s right: Mr. Smith, played by Stallone, is actually a retired superhero.
Many years ago he was as the Samaritans of Granite City known until he is said not to have survived a fight against his archenemy. Sam now wants to help the failed superhero back on his feet. The first scenes from the Samaritan trailer are reminiscent of one rather calm, grounded superhero tone à la Unbreakable or wistful genre swan songs like Logan – The Wolverine.
Fans should also have a whole new side of Stallone get to see. According to Comic Book Resources, Samaritan director Julius Avery says:
In real life, he’s an outgoing prankster. He’s got this really wicked sense of humor. And I think a lot of that will be reflected in this character that he plays in our film. He is not monosyllabic! It’s a character from Sly that we’ve never seen before.
You’ll soon be able to see Stallone’s latest superhero role for yourself. Samaritan is from now on Available for streaming on Amazon Prime.
