Critic Reviews for Shout at the Devil

All Critics (8) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (4) | Rotten (4)

Shout at the Devil is a big, dumb, silly movie that's impossible to dislike. It's so cheerfully corny, so willing to involve its heroes in every possible predicament, that after awhile we relax.

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
Shout At The Devil can be very entertaining so long as one doesn't take it seriously.

Ruth Batchelor
Los Angeles Free Press
[Shout at the Devil] should have been, at its worst, a load of mindless fun. Mindless it is; fun it isn't.

Bernard Drew
Gannett News Service
Everything is predictable, boring, silly, and completely devoid of imagination and creativity. [Full Review in Spanish]

Antonio Lara
El Pais (Spain)
Shout at the Devil is a great adventure with lots of explosions and intrigue and hints of war. However, the way colonialism and other sensitive issues are handled shows that there is a big difference between even the attitudes of 1976 and the present.

J.C. Maçek III
PopMatters
Despite its interesting premise, the movie -- a graceless and lurching mix of brutal drama (dead babies!), lowbrow humor (Marvin drunk again!) and general daftness (Moore in blackface!) -- runs out of steam long before its bruising 150 minutes are up.

Matt Brunson
Creative Loafing
Adapted from one of the most popular novelists in Wilbur Smith, Shout at the Devli puts our protagonists in wildly dangerous situations, in which they have to survive everything from crocodiles to the Germans
