Brooding, powerful, and every inch the Americana melodrama - Devil’s Peak packs a punch and just keeps on coming. Read full review

Despite some good performances and vividly written characters, Devil’s Peak crumbles due to Penn’s inexperienced performance. Otherwise, it’s an entertaining drama with some grandiose ideas about family legacy that make it peculiarly compelling. Read full review

With terrific Appalachian ambience and moments of carefully constructed action, Devil’s Peak is not a terrible movie, but in the bigger picture, it’s not a particularly memorable one, either. It just lies there on the table, like day-old grits. Read full review

The movie doesn’t have enough of a narrative engine to compensate for its lack of world building. Read full review

The elements of a good, “Winter’s Bone”-like depiction of the rural social order are here. But they only really coalesce — and combust — when Thornton’s on the screen. Read full review

The cast is solid, the film’s pedigree is good, there’s a sense of direction and competence laced through it all, but the whole is lesser than its parts. It’s hard to watch not just because it fails, but because you see all the ways it might have succeeded. Read full review

Ben Young’s atrocious Devil’s Peak is a case study of excellent performers being given so little to work with from a script. Read full review
