‘Samaritan’: Sylvester Stallone’s superhero reaches Amazon Top 1


    In the field of Marvel and DC superheroes, most of the cake is shared, but there is always a portion left for other types of saviors with powers that, although small, refuse to disappear. That is what the latest premiere of Amazon Prime Video, a platform committed to expanding the variety of heroes of the audiovisual landscape with various results. In his catalog we can find examples at both extremes of success. On the one hand, in 2016 it premiered thetick (the tick), which, although it was committed to mixing action and comedy, did not catch on among subscribers. However, years later (2019) the antiheroes have arrived TheBoys, confirming that the comic tone that was triumphing in several Marvel productions could take root on television.

    Now, in feature film format, comes the latest Amazon Prime Video release in the superhero genre and it does so from the hand of one of the quintessential action men of the last decades of cinema: Sylvester Stallone. Thus, last Friday, August 26, the platform launched Samaritanthe film that in just a few days has been placed directly in the first place of the Top 10 of the streaming provider.

    The film is based on the Astro City comics. (a factory similar to Marvel or DC), although its original publication was possible thanks to the Vertigo label, belonging to DC Comics. But for creative purposes, Samaritan is part of an independent label and, therefore, the film is a bet on the heroes who are off the radar of the two big majors of graphic novels.

    As we advanced before, Samaritan It revolves around the character of Sylvester Stallone but, to know his relevance in the film, we must know the story that surrounds his character. The film begins by introducing us to Sam Cleary (Javon “Wanna” Walton), a 13-year-old who suspects that his mysterious and reclusive neighbor, Mr. Smith (Sylvester Stallone, Rockyrambo, Guardians of the Galaxy), is actually a legendary hero who hides in plain sight. 20 years ago, Granite City’s super-powered vigilante Samaritan was pronounced dead after a warehouse battle with his rival Nemesis. People believe that Samaritan perished in the fire, but some citizens like Sam are hopeful that he is still alive. With the crime rate on the rise and the city on the brink of chaos, Sam sets out to bring his neighbor out of hiding to save the city from ruin.
