Sympathy for the Devil is a missed opportunity with a collection of engaging moments, none sustained enough to really satisfy.
Editor's Note: This piece was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, the movie being covered here wouldn't exist.
The premise of this movie, which is directed by Yuval Adler and written by Luke Paradise, is enticingly simple. A man, officially credited as The Driver , drops off his son and heads to the hospital where his wife has gone into labor. After he pulls into the parking lot, The Passenger gets into his backseat. The Driver, at gunpoint, with no knowledge of where they're going or why he's being targeted, is told to drive out of the city.
As for The Passenger's motive and The Driver's identity, the movie tips its hand much too early. Cage's performance is erratic, sprinkled with the occasional outburst that has become associated with his screen persona, and this is supposed to keep us guessing whether his actions are calculated or just impulse. But he also speaks to his captive as if he knows him and asks the occasional pointed question, essentially giving the game away. Kinnaman, meanwhile, is miscast.
