The superhero genre is very crowded. You can copy, mimic, or be inspired by, but you cant be bland. Samaritan is bland.

The story does not get the focused and consistent treatment it deserves.

When the film doesnt work, it makes you want to look up when the next Marvel or DC movie is coming.

When stripped down to the basics, Samaritan is a colorless venture thats very much been there, done that, especially for Stallone.
