Sympathy for the Devil Ratings & Reviews
Kevin Ward
July 2, 2025
Nic Cage doing Nic Cage things in the back of a car for 90 minutes? Yes please! Joel Kinnamon doing Joel Kinnamon things in the front of a car for 90 minutes?…..well….whatever, you heard the Nic Cage thing, right? This is a fun contained thriller with another patented and wildly entertaining Nic Cage performance that sees him taking Joel Kinnamon hostage and forcing him to drive around for….reasons to be revealed later. Motive is the main mystery and while the revelations aren’t all that surprising, it’s still a really fun ride.
Bloody Disgusting
Meagan Navarro
Adler's efficient direction and a Cage unleashed aren't enough to keep viewers on the hook in this sparse story.
AMovieGuy.com
Leo Brady
Sympathy for the Devil runs out of gas and fails to capitalize on another burning bright performance from Mr. Nicolas Cage.
Culture Mix
Carla Hay
Sympathy for the Devil is an intentionally dark and violent dramedy/satire that showcases Nicolas Cage's penchant for playing weird and unhinged characters. Viewers should not expect a fully serious drama. The movie brings some laughs with the suspense.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
It's only for Cage apologists who think everything he does is a work of genius.
The Playlist
Brian Farvour
The story fails to extend anywhere beyond another rudimentary battle of wits.
Sunshine State Cineplex
Alan French
Nic Cage not only swings for the rafters in Sympathy for the Devil, but he elevates material that could have been less intriguing.
Film Focus Online
Rebecca Johnson
Swift, fun and incredibly straightforward, Sympathy For the Devil showcases good performances from it's two leads yet fumbles the bag with it's lacklustre plot.
Cinema Crazed
Emilie Black
Sympathy of the Devil is a fun thriller that has some action and some, minimal, horror elements. It's enjoyable and entertaining, it brings Cage to full capacity, and it gives the viewer something that they can get into from start to finish.
Common Sense Media
Jeffrey M. Anderson
So taut and lean that it doesn't even pause to give its characters names, this cat-and-mouse thriller succeeds thanks to vigorous performances by Kinnaman and Cage.
Film Freak Central
Walter Chaw
Cage can be an exceptional actor when he wants to be, don't get me wrong. I just wish he wanted to be more than once every ten years.
HollywoodInToto.com
Christian Toto
Oscar winner chews the scenery in this slick but superficial road movie.
Reason Online
Kurt Loder
Cage's latest picture isn't awful, exactly-not in the bold, nutty manner of Drive Angry or Bangkok Dangerous or any of his earlier misfires. Sympathy is worse, in a way-it's dull.
RogerEbert.com
Glenn Kenny
The problem we have right from the get-go is that neither of these personages gives the viewer much to care about.
AV Club
Luke Y. Thompson
Cage may hate that people quote his over-the-top moments out of context, but since this entire movie is one, you can't really take any of it the wrong way.
Austin Chronicle
Richard Whittaker
If noir is about, as the old saying goes, bad people doing bad things for good reasons, then Sympathy for the Devil bleeds in all the right ways.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
Both actors [Cage & Kinnaman] play off each other well in this insane little indie that's better and more outlandish than you'd ever expect.
IGN Movies
Katie Rife
Cage brings genuine menace to his manic role, and co-star Joel Kinnaman holds his own as the straight man. Where the story lands is predictable, but the journey there is fun and full of tension.
Observer
Casey Epstein-Gross
Sympathy for the Devil is entertaining thanks to Cage, but formulaic otherwise.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
It takes a while for it all to come into focus, but one thing is clear: This very well-made thriller doesn't have only one mystery man in it. It has two.
