No Good Deed is an upcoming American crime thriller film directed by Sam Miller and written by Aimee Lagos. The film stars Idris Elba, Taraji P. Henson, Kate del Castillo, Mark Smith, Henry Simmons, Wilbur Fitzgerald and Frank Brennan. The film is set to be released on September 12, 2014.

Filming of No Good Deeds began in April 2012 in Atlanta, Georgia. The film's storyline follows a former District Attorney turned stay-at-home mom (Henson) and her two small children who are terrorized and kidnapped after she invites a handsome but mysterious stranger (Elba) into their home to wait for help after his car runs off the road. Will Packer produced the film through his company Will Packer Productions, with Elba and Rob Hardy serving as executive producers.

No Good Deed was initially set to be released on October 18, 2013. In January of 2013, Screen Gems announced the film would be moved to open on January 17, 2014, at the beginning of the MLK Holiday weekend. This date conflicted with another Will Packer-produced film, Ride Along, a Universal Pictures' release that stars Ice Cube and Kevin Hart.

For this reason, in April 2013, the studio pushed back No Good Deed's release date for a second time to April 25, 2014. Yet again, in early October 2013 (and giving no specific reason), Screen Gems for a third time pushed backed the release date of the film to September 12, 2014.

Sony Pictures Releasing debuted the first official trailer for the film on June 12, 2014. The crime thriller will be going head-to-head at the box office against Universal's comedy Search Party starring T.J. Miller, Warner Bros. Pictures' family film Dolphin Tale 2 and Clarius Entertainment's thriller Before I Go to Sleep starring Nicole Kidman.
