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.

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.

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.

Interesting but ultimately over the top; "The Devil Has A Name" has a decent approach but fails to deliver a film worthy of its talent in front and behind the camera.

In this drama inspired by true events, a psychotic oil matriarch leaves the whole industry exposed when she attempts to outfight a farmer whose water has been poisoned.

The exaggerated approach is what really kills "The Devil Has A Name". There is no fine line and honestly the story gets lost in its antics. The casting is good and Kate Bosworth is bad-ass but even she can't save this film. David Strathairn is also delivers a good performance, but then again when is he ever bad? Overall unfortunate that a film like this directed by the legendary Edward James Olmos, couldn't get better treated.
