Film ThreatNeil WeakleyJan 9, 2020
With 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. Read full review

VarietyDennis HarveySep 20, 2019
The 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. Read full review

Film ThreatAndrew StoverJan 9, 2020
Boasting 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. Read full review

ObserverRex ReedSep 23, 2019
Ho-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. Read full review

New York PostSara StewartSep 19, 2019
In 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. Read full review
