No Good Deed is about an escaped convict, Colin (Idris Elba), who murders his ex-girlfriend before wrapping his car around a tree in the middle of a storm. He ends up at a nearby house where Terry (Taraji P. Henson) and her family live. The husband is out of town however and Terry is charmed by the stranger who at first glance appears everything her husband is not. So she does what every woman who’s alone in her house with her kids would do and invites him in.

In Tokarev, Nicolas Cage plays Paul Maguire, a respectable businessman with a loving wife (Rachel Nichols) and a beautiful teenage daughter (Aubrey Peeples). Then one night, thugs break into his house and kidnap his daughter. Instead of going to the cops, Maguire asks two of his old friends to look into it (turns out he has a shady past… shocker!). His friends are unable to turn up any info though and soon after that his daughter’s dead body turns up. Maguire then goes off on a rampage and kills and tortures and stabs and attacks anyone who might be even remotely involved.

Jon Favreau started out as an indie film favorite but has since worked his way to the top of Hollywood as the director of Elf and the first two Iron Man movies (seeing as we have always liked the guy, we won’t mention Cowboys & Aliens here). He’s back now with his ‘passion project’, a sweet feel-good movie that Favreau not only wrote and directed but also plays the lead in.
