	Author	Review
United States	Joe Leydon Variety	"The overall clunkiness of this enterprise may tempt you to shout rude things at the screen."	NEG
United States	Luke Y. Thompson Forbes	"'Samson' is rarely boring (...) If 'Samson' is in any way disappointing, it's in the way it holds back at times."	NEU
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"Unfortunately, this effort that all too clearly reveals its low budget is unlikely to erase anyone's memories of Cecil B. DeMille's 'Samson and Delilah' or any other versions of the story."	NEG
United States	Peter Sobczynski rogerebert.com	"It can be faulted for its sluggish pacing, inconsistent performances and lack of cinematic style that gives the proceedings a tacky feel throughout (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Ignatiy Vishnevetsky AV Club	"[It] is for the most part clinically dull (...) There isn’t much to distinguish the film from any number of churchy programmers set in dusty olden times."	NEG
United States	Inkoo Kang The Wrap	"Old Testament tale collapses like a Philistine temple (...) [It] doesn’t renounce brutality, it glorifies it"	NEG
