Leave your thoughts about Running with the Devil.
| Film ThreatNeil WeakleyWith a talented, seasoned cast, and the capable directing hands of Jason Cabell, Running With The Devil is a dark, suspenseful, and fascinating look at a subject often debated. Definitely worth a look. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyThe result isn’t exactly a docudrama indictment like “Traffic,” a thriller a la “Sicario,” a plea for innocent victims, or a Tarantino-esque bloody crime comedy. Rather, Running With the Devil is all the above, confidently blending together many narrative and tonal elements into a surprisingly cohesive whole. |
| Film ThreatAndrew StoverBoasting an astounding cast — Nicolas Cage, Laurence Fishburne, Barry Pepper, Adam Goldberg, Leslie Bibb, and Clifton Collins Jr. — it’s even more disheartening that Running with the Devil is a garbled crime expedition that never follows through on its various subplots. |
| Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayWith an all-star cast that includes Nicolas Cage, Laurence Fishburne, Adam Goldberg and Clifton Collins Jr. — many of whom ham it up in kooky ways — this movie is enjoyably energetic. It almost doesn’t matter that it doesn’t make a lick of sense. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThough not quite as devoid of personality as those names and its boilerplate dialogue, the film nevertheless plays like a flowchart in search of a pulse, a drama whose "Traffic"-like ambitions aren't matched by narrative inspiration. |
| ObserverRex ReedHo-hum. Running with the Devil is yet another generic drug trade thriller that defies coherence, embraces clichés, and wastes the time and talent of Nicolas Cage. |
| New York PostSara StewartIn reality, it’s a tiresome parade of gory and sexist cliches that are, frankly, insulting to a cast that includes Laurence Fishburne, Barry Pepper, Adam Goldberg, Leslie Bibb and Clifton Collins Jr. |
| User ReviewJumpCut_OnlineRunning With The Devil may lack a voice beneath the surface but it’s playful style and a standout performance from Fishburne make this at least worthy of adding to your Cage VOD library. |
| User ReviewAjmoviesIf you liked this movie I respect it you’re opinion. But this movie was **** and that’s final. |
