The Devil You Know Ratings & Reviews
Fox 4 Kansas City
Shawn Edwards
The writing's superb, the acting's terrific. So that he's to elevate the film a bit.
Common Sense Media
Monique Jones
The Devil You Know is diverse but has a lackluster story...
Mediaversity Reviews
Li Lai
It's positive to see The Devil You Know showcase loving relationships between Black men, even if it indulges in stereotypes to get there.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Lael Loewenstein
There's a few good scenes of the family, but otherwise it's just a very by-the-numbers film.

Leo Brady
The Devil You Know once again shows off the strong talent of Omar Epps, but sadly it is in the service of a movie that is not returning that favor.

Jackie K. Cooper
Good acting, good story, weak ending,
The Newnan Times-Herald
Jonathan W. Hickman
best watched knowing that the movie is a genuinely conceived urban drama and not a slick action crime film.
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
An uneasy combination of family friction and crime drama further hobbled by problems of logic and pacing,..has high ambitions, but it fails to achieve them.

Murray's direction and writing are safe and not as risky as one would hope.
KKFI-FM (Kansas City)
Russ Simmons
The Devil You Know is well-acted but undone by poor dramatic pacing.
New York Times
Robert Daniels
The Devil You Know is a grim crime and family drama that struggles to find a consistent tone.
Pittsburgh Magazine
Sean Collier
Epps is a tremendous actor with total command of the screen; hes a very likable presence, and hes more than capable of carrying The Devil You Know.
Los Angeles Times
Michael Ordoña
While it does put an interesting spin on the phrase from which it takes its title, the family drama with crime elements "The Devil You Know" stumbles.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
Charles Murray's screenplay ... becomes sidetracked by ... details and elements that have little or nothing to do with the dramatic dilemma.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
An efficient and well-acted family drama with the overlay of a modern morality tale...
Culture Mix
Carla Hay
Relentlessly dull and with a lot of cringeworthy acting, this movie tries to be a gritty drama, but does nothing innovative or special. It also repeats negative, racist stereotypes that African American men are most likely to become criminals.
MovieWeb
Julian Roman
The Devil You Know vacillates between strained melodrama and a powerfully affecting morality play. The lulls of the first two acts are forgiven by several whopper twists in a hard-hitting climax.
Black Girl Nerds
Jamie Broadnax
'The Devil You Know' offers a compelling story, with plot twists and is a harrowing drama. However, the pacing and method of execution to tell the story needed some tweaking to keep the viewer engaged throughout its 116-minute running time.
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
Despite some very positive qualities, the movie is ultimately undone by pacing issues.
The Weekend Warrior (Substack)
Edward Douglas
Offers a lot of things to ponder over, including what one must do to protect their family while also morally doing the right thing.
