      Mr. Hollywood I dont mind movies where you could tell the production is on the cheaper end when the story is engaging and riveting but this movie isnt. Clearly on the cheaper end budget wise and with the story going nowhere fast you cant help but notice. Omar Epps does the best he can with the script hes given but man he deserves better. From Higher Learning to a small, yet memorable, part in Scream 2, to my favorite role of his in In Too Deep. He had his moment back in the 90s but watching him I couldnt help think hes still got something more to offer but this film aint it. The story isnt even worth mentioning as it all comes stacking on top of each other with no set goal. From getting his life together to someone in the family having ties to a crime thats happened to a new girlfriend and to family dynamics not quite sure how to blend it all together. Somewhere in this film there was a set goal and somewhere during the writing process they gave up on it and if you bother watching youll give up on it even faster. 1/2 out of 4 stars Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/22/22 Full Review CARLA A Movie was awesome and told a great story Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/20/22 Full Review Cheryl I loved everything about this movie. It is riveting, insightful and thought provoking. It showed the strength & beauty of families. In this case, a strong, loving Black family. The truth that the vast majority of Black men are kind, loving and honorable. It also gives great insight into the ripple effects of a loved one losing their way. Love, loss and redemption. Still thinking about and discussing a day later. My husband and I learned something. Excellent performances from the entire cast. Really sorry this is in such limited release as this is a must see for all. Looking forward to more collaborations between Omar Epps and Micheal Ealy. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/19/22 Full Review Ammaarah I liked the storyline ! Very suspenseful! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/14/22 Full Review Derick The ending left me in the dark but great movie . Plot twist after plot twist Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/12/22 Full Review Kelly Its was such a great movie! I havent seen a movie in years where I was on the edge of my seat and this movie definitely did that for me! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/11/22 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Dwight Brown DwightBrownInk.com Murray’s direction and writing are safe and not as risky as one would hope. Rated: 2/4 Apr 1, 2022 Full Review Robert Daniels New York Times The Devil You Know is a grim crime and family drama that struggles to find a consistent tone. Apr 1, 2022 Full Review Michael Ordoña Los Angeles Times While it does put an interesting spin on the phrase from which it takes its title, the family drama with crime elements “The Devil You Know” stumbles. Mar 31, 2022 Full Review Shawn Edwards Fox 4 Kansas City The writing's superb, the acting's terrific. So that he's to elevate the film a bit. Rated: 3/5 Oct 27, 2023 Full Review Monique Jones Common Sense Media The Devil You Know is diverse but has a lackluster story... Rated: 3/5 Jun 2, 2022 Full Review Li Lai Mediaversity Reviews It’s positive to see The Devil You Know showcase loving relationships between Black men, even if it indulges in stereotypes to get there.
