Reaction: The total box office for this film was right around the gross of the first film, and only slightly less than the second film, but it would appear that the increase in Mahershala Ali's salary raised the budget of this third entry just past the point of being able to break even.
"Writer Jimmy Ellis closes out his western trilogy with a solid film. It's not as good as the first two films - at least in my opinion - but the story moves nicely and Jurnee Smollett, Samara Weaving and Mark Boone Junior help fill in some the void from previous characters opposite Mahershala Ali." - Charles Triano, Los Angeles Times
"The Devil's Run is not necessarily a bad film, but it wasn't the most satisfactory conclusion to The Devil's Westerns film trilogy. The film struggles to replace the energy and intensity that the Woodson brothers (Ethan Hawke and Garrett Hedlund) brought to the first two films, leaving this film missing something." - Leslie Vandergort, Minneapolis Star Tribune
"As one of the best LRF original film series comes to (an unfortunate) end, Mahershala Ali delivers a showstopping performance as a dynamite character like Harry Holt. The series continued to build the world knowing it'd final time we visit. (Or hopefully not...)." -Zackery Forester, The Denver Post
Rated R for violence, language and some sexual content
