Audience Reviews for Samson

Jan 22, 2019

A strong contender for most poorly edited movie I've ever seen. Flies in the face of reason that this ever had a theatrical run.

Gimly M Super Reviewer
Dec 07, 2018

From Pure Films comes Samson, a rather lackluster biblical epic. The story follows Samson, a man of destiny called to lead the Hebrews from slavery, but when his wife is killed by a ruthless Philistine prince Samson becomes consumed by vengeance. The cast is pretty weak and gives fairly band and unimpressive performances. And the film's low-budget is painfully obvious in the cheap costuming, makeup, and sets. Samson might pass for a made-for-TV movie, but it's just not up to the standards of a theatrical film.
