Rex Reed Observer 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. Rated: 2/4 Feb 24, 2023 Full Review Noel Murray Los Angeles Times 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. Feb 24, 2023 Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Ben Young’s atrocious “Devil’s Peak” is a case study of excellent performers being given so little to work with from a script. Rated: 1/4 Feb 18, 2023 Full Review Jackie K. Cooper jackiekcooper.com When Nilly Bob Thornton is playing good, he is good. When he is playing bad he is better. Rated: 6/10 Jul 7, 2024 Full Review Cain Noble-Davies FILMINK (Australia) … between the unfortunately mismatched casting, the rote dialogue, and overall unimpressive storytelling, there’s not much to recommend here. Rated: 8.28/20 Oct 24, 2023 Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix The novelty of real-life mother-and-son duo Robin Wright and Hopper Penn portraying a mother and a son in Devil's Peak is not enough reason to watch this dreadful crime drama with a putrid plot and subpar acting. Almost nothing in this flop is believable. Apr 15, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Jeffrey P It’s simply okay. The cast makes it focused enough and interesting enough to want to see how it ends, which isn’t half bad. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/26/24 Full Review Bryan M It's pretty good. Definitely worth a watch. BBT great as usual. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/26/24 Full Review Horror fan 4 This was a serviceable crime thriller although it did waste the talents of the actor's. Not much of a thriller but I've seen worse. Tim Treakle Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/09/24 Full Review Jeremy A Not bad. It went pretty fast in the background at work. The thrilling scenes are good. Always love Billy Bob. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/03/24 Full Review John O Spoilers: A showcase for Robin Wright, her son Hopper Penn, also Sean Penn's son, and Billy Bob Thornton and Jacky Earl Haley. And a redo of sorts of 1986's "At Close Range," when Sean was the son of Chris Walken, who, like here, was a low-life career crime boss, with Sean, like Hopper here, the son who wanted to break from his murdering criminal father, Billy Bob here. Hopper and Sean each was in love with a girl and wanted to run with her. This one has enough action to keep you in suspense and enough good acting to make the ride worthwhile. While Hopper was sympathetic with seemingly good instincts, puppy dog eyes only gets you so far. His take was workmanlike but, as you expect, he has a long way to go before he acts as well as Sean or Billy Bob. When you have Thornton, Wright and Haley, you have ingredients for something good. Not a waste of time but no crime activity even illustrated and other plot holes. Hey, every go isn't "Oppenheimer." Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/01/24 Full Review dan m Not the worst and the actors on parade hint at more but it doesn't come. Characters and plot are touched on but not developed. I wouldnt watch it again, not a rewatchable, but it barely made the " is this a waste of an hour and a half " smell test Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/27/24 Full Review Read all reviews
