The Devil Has a Name Ratings & Reviews
Richard Scott Long
November 9, 2025
It's good for a watch.
Variety
Peter Debruge
The whole movie starts to feel like a tornado touched down in the editing room.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Wade Major
This isn't a bad film and it's not a great one... Sort of middle-tier.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Lael Loewenstein
Workmanlike directing from Olmos, and well-acted overall... A compelling enough piece of work.
Common Sense Media
Jeffrey M. Anderson
This whistleblower drama, with its odd touches of comedy and noir, certainly has its heart in the right place, but the story is frustratingly, awkwardly told and it ultimately amounts to very little.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
[The Devil Has a Name] is not your average legal thriller... with an eclectic mix of actors playing the heroes and villains, most of them peculiar in some way.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
... takes some melodramatic turns that strain credibility and obscure the urgency of the film's social activism.
Denerstein Unleashed
Robert Denerstein
[It] has its moment but lacks the expected bite.
RogerEbert.com
Glenn Kenny
An angry movie that's angry about the right things. But it's so angry that it gets a little crazy about it.
The Film Stage
Jared Mobarak
Olmos is therefore the "cool" teacher presenting serious subject matter in a colorful way. And to that end he succeeds.
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
The aspirations are lofty but the result disappointing in Edward James Olmos' humorously melodramatic tale.
Screen It!
Jim Judy
It doesn't coalesce into any sort of entertaining or engaging effort, not helped by some truly sub-par editing and overall storytelling flow. (Full Content Review for Parents - Violence, Profanity, Nudity, etc. - also Available)
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
Caught somewhere between a dark satire and a serious critique, The Devil Has a Name is a tonally confused examination of corporate malfeasance.
The Only Critic
Nate Adams
A disjointed and clumsy drama.
The Weekend Warrior (Substack)
Edward Douglas
An erratic real-life dramedy that's too all over the place in terms of tone.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
"The Devil Has a Name" means to deliver an inspirational lesson about the depravity of big industry and the power of the little guy. But it's mostly a muddle.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
Shoots for a quirky take on legal and planetary horror when the subject matter deserves a more sobering approach.
The Film Yap
Christopher Lloyd
A dusty soap opera set in the California desert where evil oilmen fight a crusty farmer, The Devil Has a Name is a real head-scratcher.
Film Inquiry
Daryl MacDonald
The Devil Has a Name is worth watching for its message and for the strength of its three leading protagonists. It's just a shame the message gets a little lost in some of the contrived drama.
Mama's Geeky
Tessa Smith
A dark comedy that brings to light the greed of corporations and the fact that they will do just about anything for money. Olmos & Strathairn's relationship steals the show.
