Critics Consensus

Diablo has neither the intelligence nor the originality to compete with the revisionist latter-day Westerns it owes obvious debts to.

Andrew Barker

Variety

"Diablo" boasts the skeleton of an interesting allegorical oater ... but Carlos de los Rios' screenplay never manages to provide flesh or a beating heart, leaving the whole endeavor feeling more like a rough draft.

Spectrum Culture

Like any western, the film also has a spurious relationship with race, trying to prop its tale up on the dramatic implications of antebellum America, without having to actually explore the relationships between the war's disparate survivors.

Rated: 1/5

Flickering Myth

At roughly 80 minutes, Diablo is at least merciful with its boredom, but it's going to be tough to find worse films in 2016

Rated: 1/5

A western thriller with lots of plot holes and an obvious intention of fooling the viewer with "twists" you can see from a mile away. [Full review in Spanish]

The movie has a good twist half way through when you find out he's nuts. But the movie leaves to many unanswered questions. How did the women end up with him. How did he become so crazy. Why did he take her in the first place. Where did the scalp come from. What a waste of my time.

I don’t know why this movie gets so much hate. It’s an amazing modern western with a hell of a twist. I loved the casting choices and Eastwood Jr really deserves more western roles, reminds me a lot of his father. With Goggins by his side it was some cool chemistry that made for a good and dark western story. Wasn’t fond of Glover’s acting in this but it can be chalked up to writing. After watching it I had to look up the reviews and was stunned it wasn’t in the high 70% at least on audience. It’s definitely worth the watch.

Probably the best psychological thriller I'ver ever seen. Has got Hitchcock beat on that count. First you feel like Clint Eastwood is back as a young man doing a western again, which is really neat. Then about 20 minutes into the film, you realize something is off and you are trying to figure out what is going on...and you keep wondering. The pay off in spades is remarkable. A great film.

A guy with 2 guns walks to the middle of a farm yard and shoots mexicans with riffles hidden behind doors. He then squats quietly to finish cut a mexican's throat the enters the house to kill a few other armed mexicans hiding behind doors. A real great moment of cinema.

One of the few films I couldn’t watch to the end. Nothing made sense.

I just enjoyed the movie! Scott Eastwood needs to get more western movie opportunities in my opinion bring back the genre!
