Rating: 2.5/5 --
In literary adaptations such as Felicia's Journey and The Sweet Hereafter, Egoyan has shown that he can depict darkness and explore loss. But here, he feels mired in stereotypes, or dependent on images that documentaries have already created.

The Age (Australia)
It never quite finds a reason to exist, and that's a genuine shame, as a case as multi-dimensional as the one it used as source material should have more than enough inspiration.

Rating: 2/5 --
The passion of the two leads is not enough to carry the film to any satisfying conclusion.

One Room With A View
Rating: 2/5 --
The true story is undeniably a fascinating one, full of tragedy, anguish and scandalous injustice, yet Egoyan has stripped Devil's Knot clean of all that and fashioned a run-of-the-mill TV movie in its place.

[Takes] the perfunctory shape of an afternoon TV movie.

Guardian
Rating: B --
The courtroom drama is powerful enough to make us wish that they'd given less time to Ms. Hobbs and more time to showing us the rest of what's known to have occurred.

Assignment X
Rating: 2/5 --
Why has Egoyan made this unsatisfactory, ultimately dismaying film, when this awful story has been so thoroughly treated already elsewhere?

Product Description:
Director Atom Egoyan adapts journalist Mara Leveritt non-fiction book to the screen in this docudrama centered on the investigation into the notorious West Memphis Three case (previously the subject of filmmaker Joe Berlinger's PARADISE LOST documentaries). Centered on the investigation conducted by private detective Ron Lax (Colin Firth), THE DEVIL'S KNOT details the discovery of crucial DNA evidence that helped to win back the freedom of Arkansas teens Damien Echols, James Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley Jr., who were accused of ritualistically murdering three young boys in 1993. Stephen Moyer and Reese Witherspoon co-star.
