Jim Dixon

Aimed squarely at Christian audiences looking for inspirational family entertainment, Samson is a preachy and plodding drama that's light on excitement, action or any real sense of spirituality.

Sacramento News & Review

Jim Lane

The story of the biblical strong man from the Book of Judges is drably retold without a trace of style or showmanship, making Cecil B. DeMille's 1949 Samson and Delilah (which was pretty good already) look like a masterpiece of great art by comparison.

'Samson' is a Biblical epic worth watching.

Josh Terry

The result is a film that tries hard but feels like a casual shrug of the shoulders.

Bible-based tale has bloody beatings, eye-gougings, more.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that Samson is a biblical epic about the legendary Hebrew warrior with supernatural strength (Taylor James). It's chockful of bloody violence. Most of this comes in the form of fatal bludgeonings with the jawbone of a donkey. But there's also head-stomping, lots of stabbings, apparent internal organ-smashing, whipping, and eye-gouging with a hot blade. That, though, is the main issue; there's no strong language, and sexual content and drinking are minimal. It takes some departures from the Biblical version of Samson's story.
