What to Know

Critics Consensus

Sympathy for the Devil makes the most of Nicolas Cage's propensity for playing unhinged characters -- and for some viewers, that'll be more than enough to make it worth a watch.

Leslie Felperin Guardian Even if the ending is a bit of a letdown, otherwise it’s a gas. Rated: 3/5 Sep 6, 2023 Full Review Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting Adler’s efficient direction and a Cage unleashed aren’t enough to keep viewers on the hook in this sparse story. Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 10, 2023 Full Review Glenn Kenny RogerEbert.com The problem we have right from the get-go is that neither of these personages gives the viewer much to care about. Rated: .5/4 Jul 28, 2023 Full Review Emiliano Basile EscribiendoCine Sympathy for the Devil (2023) falls halfway (an ironically fitting term, given what happens in the plot) between over-the-top parody and conventional psychological thriller. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/10 Dec 20, 2024 Full Review David Bax Battleship Pretension Paradise’s screenplay is weighted about 80/20 in favor of Cage over Kinnaman and that’s absolutely the best possible choice. Oct 25, 2024 Full Review Robert W. Butler Butler's Cinema Scene Watching Cage tear into this material it almost doesn't matter. The guy is out there sweating to turn straw into gold. In the end he turns that straw into brass, but it's still a wonder to behold... Oct 22, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Charlie R Could have been good movie if it had a half decent lead actor but instead were served the standard Nicolas Cage asylum cRazY 🤪 performance which makes this movie a hard watch. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/02/25 Full Review Gianluca R Nicholas Cage is a guarantee, time after time. Just his acting worth the watch. Must see Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/25 Full Review Timothy E This is not our Nicholas Cage. He's a better actor than this. I wish you were coming to the live stream. Back to the movie theater way he belong Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/26/25 Full Review Robson C Um homem chega no hospital onde sua esposa está internada para dar a luz ao seu filho, quando um homem armado entra no seu carro e o obriga a sair dali. Inicia-se então um jogo de gato e rato entre os dois homens dentro daquele carro. A direção é muito boa, sempre mantendo a tensão da história do filme e os atores a ajuda, com a boa interpretação deles, apesar de, às vezes, Nicolas Cage ir muitas vezes para o exagero. Muita gente pode achar que é uma cópia de Colateral, mas a proposta dos 2 filmes é bem diferente. Um bom suspense, que mostra a violência na dose certa. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/25 Full Review Audience Member Horrible movie. Absolutely horrible acting, as Cage was said to get into debt and had to agree to pound out as many low budget movies he could make cash b Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/11/25 Full Review Daniel C. M A good fast-paced story, stylish direction and visuals, and a amazing acting by Nicolas Cage unfortunaly never manages to bring this movie up, with it's cheap and forgetabble thrills and a ultimately redudant, cliche and disappointing conclusion. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/25 Full Review Read all reviews
