Reaction: Despite the slightly higher box office gross, this one pulled in a slightly lower profit due to the increased production budget compared to the first film. Since the series has been profitable overall so far, we would be inclined to produce a third film if writer Jimmy Ellis so chooses (and as the end of the film would seem to indicate).

"What The Devil's Revenge lacks in originality it more than makes up for with its intensity. The western-based action sequences continue to be a strength in this film, along with its charismatic performances." - Matt Carson, Arizona Republic

"It's never a good sign when the hero of a story, played here by Mahershala Ali, is the least interesting character in the entire film. Sure, some of the supporting cast are extra colorful, but I think it has more to do with Harry Holt coming across as something of a bland protagonist this time around." - Charles Triano, Los Angeles Times

"Character development was a weakness of the first film, and it gets carried over to this sequel, although thankfully there was at least some improvement in that department. Couple that improvement with strong and often brutal western action, and you have a film that is worth while even if it's not going to wow you."" - Glenn Howard, Total Film

Rated R for strong western violence and language
