The Devil Has a Name

It is an engaging and interesting story, with an unexpected twist at the end.

I can not understand why this movie has such a low rating. This movie was actually really enjoyable. I usually can't stay engaged in legal drama, I get bored and start playing on my phone, but the comedic moments in the movie kept me engaged in this one. The actors do a great job. Haley Joel Osment plays a really good narcissistic dirt bag, Kate Bosworth plays a really good b*tch, Edward James Olmos plays a good loveable character, and Pablo Schreiber plays a really great sociopath. The fact that it was based on true events actually makes this story that more interested. I would recommend this movie to anyone.

Had more good moments that not so good ones, and the old guys still add some texture to the movie. Too many movies nowadays are way over the top drama and shallow phony bad-asses. Sit back and just enjoy the movie.

Bosworth is supposedly a brilliant oil goddess that outsmarts a farmer who has had his ground water poisoned. She navigates the farmer, the illegals, and the oil company to end up sitting head of the table at the end. The storyline is fractured and the stabs at dark comedy don't really work.

An evocative film based on a true story of an everyday farmer battling the injustices of the judicial system as well as corporate oil money. Strong performances from a well known cast.
