  "This reminded me of the movie "Hit List", that I just watched recently. (This review will be full of spoilers. So if this is something you wanted to watch, then please do skip reading this.) The outcome is pretty similar too. Hit man comes to kill husband. Husband doesn't know, thinks he's stumbled upon a friend then WHAM!!! Surprise! He starts randomly killing people. Oh, and this guy has a mistress too. Except in the other movie, the wife had the something on the side. So the movie goes on with the 'Hit Man' killing spree until finally John-the husband, is taken home with psycho wifey with cops there to protect them from the 'Hit Man'. Of course we all know the 'Hit Man' is going to show up and start mayhem. So mayhem comes and it is revealed that, SURPRISE! Psycho wifey wanted you dead. So what does said husband do? Fights 'Hit Man' until he's dead then gets into bed with crazy wifey like shit didn't happen at all. WTF is wrong with the writer of these films? Who the hell is going to get into bed with the crazy bitch who had hired someone to kill them? Just crap. I can't believe I watched two movies doing the same shit. Pure garbage and the waste of talented actors like Samuel L. Jackson and Luke Wilson."

  Evil comes knocking. Not bad or great just average movie. I just finished watching the movie & it was the most boring, unauthentic movie I've watched in a long time. The main characters stumble from one unbelievable scenario into the next one, Luke Wilson's role always behaves strange and/or totally wrong and stupid plus the dialogs are shallow and far-fetched. The scenes flow doesn't make sense at all, nothing gets to be explained. The ending gives a little insight but doesn't really makes up to it. The real estate agent John is down on his luck: he has been just fired from his job; his home has been sent into foreclosure; and his marriage is going downhill. On his birthday, his wife Joanie has an argument with him and she takes their children walking. Out of the blue, stranger Richie knocks on his front door and asks for help, since his car is not starting. John helps to push the car but hurts his leg, and Richie offers to take him to the hospital. Richie is inconvenient and along their journey, John realizes that the man is a psychopath killer that commits a spree killing everywhere they go. Then, Richie releases John on the road and tells him that he will pay a visit to Joanie and his children. Meanwhile, the police detectives Frank and his partner Latisha Rogers suspect that John is the serial-killer and they pressure Joanie to tell where John might be. Further, they discover that John and Joanie are cheating each other with a colleague and with a worker respectively.

  A dark thriller, Meeting Evil has an interesting story that's not particularly well told. After losing his job John Felton is picked up by a mysterious stranger and unwittingly drawn into his killing spree. Luke Wilson, Samuel L. Jackson, and Leslie Bibb lead the cast, and their performances are fair enough for the material. However, the characters are rather shallow and aren't developed. The plot has some intrigue and goes in a few unexpected directions, but it's not able to maintain suspense for very long. Meeting Evil is oddly mundane for a noir thriller, due mostly to poor execution.

  A family man John Fleton (Luke Wilson) down and out on his luck, with his job and his relationship with his wife Joanie (Leslie Bibb) opens his door to a stranger in need of help for car trouble named Richie (Samuel L. Jackson) . Little did he know that his generosity in doing so would lead him to become entangled into Richie's lunatic violent killing spree. If Morgan Freeman can portray being God so well Samuel can sure play the devil when it comes down to insane dealings with morality. Richie has John so shaken up that he is forced to decide what acts he has to commit in order to maintain his sanity as well as protect his family. Pretty good suspenseful movie.

  Meeting Evil surprised the hell out of me! When I read the description, I wasn't all that interested, but because Samuel L. Jackson was in it, I figured I'd give it twenty minutes or so, and I'm glad I did! This dark, independent, thriller was one of the most edgy, exciting films I've seen all year. Luke Wilson plays John, a man down on his luck. Suddenly, a stranger comes knocking at his door, and that leads to an unbelievable chain of events that ends with a twist that you will never see coming. Jackson is terrific as always, whether he's the good guy or the bad guy, he's always so entertaining and always manages to call someone racist, I love that! As for his co-star, Luke Wilson, I kept waiting for his character to open up, to have some kind of reaction to what was happening, but he doesn't, still his performance was a strong one. What I really liked about this film was how you really didn't know what was going to happen next. It seems like a small thing, but very few films like this go to such extremes and turn out to be so unpredictable. I can honestly say, when that twist was revealed at the end, I almost fell out of my chair. Yes, Meeting Evil is an independent film, but its better than any thriller that's come out this year. The acting is terrific, the story will have you on the edge of your seat, and just when you think you've got it all figured out, you find out that you don't know a thing. This was a tremendous movie that fell way under the radar, but I found it, and you should most definitely check it out for yourself.

  Inconsistent, poorly written, and tonally all over the map, Meeting Evil is a bit of a mess. There's a few good scenes, too be sure, with Luke Wilson and the ubiquitous Samuel L. Jackson, but the film either doesn't know what it is, or is trying to be too many things. Is it a straight up morality tale? Is it an indie black comedy? Or is it just an awkwardly thrown together and ill-executed mystery drama? At times it's so over-the-top you think it's going for satire, but ultimately it has no self-awareness. The result is a sometimes interesting, definitely weird, but ultimately unmemorable film. 2.5/5 Stars
