Sylvester Stallone's new film Samaritan is set to be released on Amazon Prime Video on 26 August.
In the action film, Stallone plays the titular superhero, who has been in hiding for 20 years since a battle with his rival, Nemesis. Now aging, the Samaritan is being tempted out of retirement by his teenage neighbour to save Granite City.
Of the film, Stallone said: “I love action films that also have heart. I wanted to be involved with Samaritan because this story has many layers that I think people can relate to. It’s something of a morality tale that is also very exciting to watch."

Movie PING!
“hiding for 20 years since a battle with his rival, Nemesis.”
Hmmm. Does he have a crime fighting partner called “Partner”?
“Hmmm. Does he have a crime fighting partner called “Partner”?”
Don’t be silly. He only works with his trusted sidekick called “Sidekick”.
LOL! And I bet there’s a criminal called “The Crook”
Yawn.
No, he’s named “Buddy.” Everyone loves a buddy movie.
Samaritan, as a word, was not synonymous with a charitable heart and giving spirit.
The denizens of Samaria were shag-nasty toward the Jews at the time Jesus was heard to refer to a “samaritan”. Any given Samaritan, man or woman, would be presumed “bad” by all right-thinking Jews. This is why Jesus was rhetorically obliged to refer, not simply to a “Samaritan”, but as a “good Samaritan”.
While the parable is often called “The parable of the Good Samaritan, Jesus does not call the person that. The Jews and Samaritans hated each other - similar I suppose to the Hatfields and McCoys, or the Yankees and the Confederates after the Civil War.
Luke 10:
29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?
30 And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.
33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,
34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.
36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?
37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

Metro Goldwyn Mayer Pictures has released the official poster and images from the new film Samaritan, starring Sylvester Stallone.
Thirteen-year-old Sam Cleary (Javon “Wanna” Walton) suspects that his mysterious and reclusive neighbor Mr. Smith (Sylvester Stallone) is actually a legend hiding in plain sight. Twenty years ago, Granite City’s super-powered vigilante, Samaritan, was reported dead after a fiery warehouse battle with his rival, Nemesis. Most believe Samaritan perished in the fire, but some in the city, like Sam, have hope that he is still alive. With crime on the rise and the city on the brink of chaos, Sam makes it his mission to coax his neighbor out of hiding to save the city from ruin.

The Jews and Samaritans were brothers from a divided house, sometimes referred to as the houses of Judah and Joseph. They disagreed mainly on the location where the Temple was to be built and it created a deep divide going way back to the times of the Kings.
