New Poster for Samuel L. Jackson Crime Thriller The Samaritan

IFC Films has released a new poster (via Collider) for the crime thriller The Samaritan (right; click for larger version).

The film stars Samuel L. Jackson as ex-con Foley, who — after 25 years in prison — is finished with the grifter's life. And when he meets an elusive young woman named Iris (Ruth Negga), the possibility of a new start looks real.

But his past is proving to be a stubborn companion: Ethan (Luke Kirby), the son of his former partner, has an ingenious plan and he wants Foley in. The harder Foley tries to escape his past, the tighter he is ensnared in Ethan's web of secrets … until it becomes all too clear to Foley that some wrongs can never be made right.

Directed by David Weaver from his own screenplay co-written with Elan Mastai, The Samaritan will be available as a digital download and via video-on-demand on April 6th, with a limited engagement in theaters on May 16th.
