SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL Reviews of Nicolas Cage dark thriller

  

Sympathy for the Devil is a 2023 American dark thriller about a driver being forced to convey a mysterious passenger at gunpoint. The driver finds himself in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse where it becomes clear that not everything is as it seems…

Directed by Yuval Adler from a screenplay written by Luke Paradise. Co-produced by Aaron Collins, Marc Goldberg, David Hillary, Alex Lebovici, Stuart Manashil and Allan Ungar.

The Hammerstone Studios-Capstone Global-Signature Films co-production stars Nicolas Cage, Joel Kinnaman, Kaiwi Lyman, Nancy Good, Burns Burns, Cameron Lee Price, Alexis Zollicoffer and Rich Hopkins.

Reviews:
“Adler’s efficient direction and a Cage unleashed aren’t enough to keep viewers on the hook in this sparse story. In the steadfast commitment to preserving any narrative turns, it also withholds characterization that might help audiences invest in an otherwise familiar setup. Despite hints at horror leanings, Sympathy for the Devil plays it safe with a crime thriller that never lives up to its promise to go off the rails.” 2.5 out of 5, Bloody Disgusting
