I have watched a lot worse movies of Cage lately but this is not one of them. I can not say I enjoyed it but not bad at all for time killing.

Sort of a Traffic wannabe, Running with the Devil is a mediocre and underwhelming crime drama. When a shipment of tainted cocaine kills several people, drawing the attention of the DEA, the head of the operation sends a specialist to follow the next shipment to find out who’s been tampering with it and to ensure that nothing goes wrong. Featuring Nicolas Cage, Laurence Fishburne, Leslie Bibb, and Barry Pepper, the cast is pretty strong; however, their performances are rather weak. And the script isn’t that much better; there’s no real character development and most of them don’t even have names. The plot too is paper thin, requiring the audience to fill-in some of the missing pieces as to why and how things happen. Running with the Devil is problematic, yet it still delivers a bit of suspense and a few thrillers.

I enjoyed this from start to finish. A well-executed idea to trace from start to finish the life cycle of the drugs. Cage and Fishbourne were both on point doing what they do at this stage of their careers. I liked that the direction was capable and not flashy with some neat editing to spice it up when worthy. My only complaint was some of the score brought me out of the scenes - a bit thumpy during the desert scene particularly. Another recommendation from The Dana Buckler Show that has not disappointed in the slightest. A very efficient and informative film. 7.25/10

This was an interesting film with a lot of promise. But after 30 mins you're still not really sure what's happening. Slow and boring, not worth watching.

Surely, by 2019, Nicolas Cage had sorted out his issues with the IRS?? Otherwise, what on earth possessed him and an equally out-of-sorts Laurence Fishburne to take part in this third rate crime drama. The pair are despatched by their bioss to investigate just what is happening to their disrupted su More

The Cook (Nicolas Cage) is sent by the leader of a drug cartel , The Boss (Barry Pepper) to find out who has been messing with his shipments of cocaine.

The plot of the movie was all over the place. I had no idea what was going on half the time or why. The characters seemed to just appear doing t More
