THE MOVIE \u2014 2.25\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Synopsis: <\/strong>The plot revolves around Jack Collins (MILO GIBSON), a covert CIA agent whose latest assignment finds him teaming up with his mentor (WILLIAM FICHTNER), to track down a terrorist McKnight (ELLIOT COWAN) who is set on selling weapons on the black market. Collins goes up against a former contact named Dreighton (JOSEPH MILLSON) from Afghanistan, hired to protect McKnight. Complicating matters is his CIA handler Leigh (SYLVIA HOEKS) who has a personal history with McKnight and is willing to sacrifice anyone to get him.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Quick Hit Review: <\/strong>Milo Gibson is just the latest of many actors who follow in their parents\u2019 footsteps, marking his debut in 2006\u2019s Hacksaw Ridge<\/em> directed by his father, Mel Gibson. Now Milo gets the reigns of his own feature film, All the Devil\u2019s Men<\/em><\/strong>, a spy-thriller that had potential but failed at nearly every turn, primarily with a half-baked script with some poor dialogue and subpar or pedestrian direction, both by Matthew Pope, with this being his third film.<\/p>\n

The acting is okay, I guess. Milo Gibson certainly has his father\u2019s looks though I\u2019m not quite sure he has the charm or charisma, at least in his pop\u2019s younger years. But that said, considering he\u2019s straddled with a pretty bad script, I might have to give him a pass and see him in something else. By comparison, he\u2019s probably along the lines of Scott Eastwood, someone who hasn\u2019t terribly impressed when in a lead role. The others were fine, though I did enjoy Gbenga Akinnagbe while veteran actor William Fichtner was sadly underutilized.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

With that being said, All the Devil\u2019s Men<\/em><\/strong> did at least had a few decent scenes and while Gibson didn\u2019t have much to work with, he did show a minor amount of charisma that made the film entertaining, though this is at best a borderline rental.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

SPECIAL FEATURES \u2013 1.0\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

This release comes with a semi-glossy slip cover<\/strong>, inside of which is a redemption code for the Digital HD <\/strong>copy. The only feature included is Working in the Shadows (8:04)<\/u><\/strong> making-of and behind-the-scenes featurette.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

VIDEO \u2013 4.0\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Lionsgate releases All the Devil\u2019s Men<\/em><\/strong> presented with a 2.35 widescreen aspect ratio and given a 1080p high-definition transfer. The picture looks fairly good as any new release would, detail is decent enough and colors are bright throughout.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

AUDIO \u2013 3.75\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The movie includes your basic but effective DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track which provides for clear dialogue levels via the center channel. On the downside the depth is on the limited side of things where the action sequences lacked a punch.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

OVERALL \u2013 2.25\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

All the Devil\u2019s Men<\/em><\/strong> is actually not terrible. But it\u2019s not very good either, though maybe in the hands of more experienced filmmakers, might have made for a passable, if not forgettable, spy-thriller, a second-rate Bourne<\/em> film if you will (though Jason Bourne<\/em> was also a second-rate Bourne<\/em> film\u2026). It might be worth a rental but even then I\u2019d cautioned against it. The Blu-ray release has good video\/audio transfers but the sole featurette wasn\u2019t anything special.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
