James Hanton

Outtake Mag

It tries too hard, but Parks' design props the film up just enough to make it worth sitting through until an expertly staged conclusion.

Rated: 3 / 5

Film Threat

What The Riot Act lacks in gripping pace, it makes up for in stunning cinematography which beautifully captures the moody atmosphere of the era.

Rated: 6.5/10

St. Anthony Messenger

It is a strong first feature from writer/director Devon Parks, even if it is a little slow going and too smart for itself.

Moviegoing with Bill

A poor stage act, this is. An unfortunate disappointment.

What ultimately keeps The Riot Act from working isn't its villains but its hero.
