I Am Not The Devil film review by Film Combat Syndicate
‘I Am Not The Devil is just the kind of project that should deservedly get Smith in the door for more filmmaking prospects with the right people. Balancing a feasible story structure with exceptional fight action and photographic performance are not easy feats to achieve in the minimal production, and so it takes a good and knowledgeable director to make it work. With seven minutes, Smith staunchly exemplifies this in at least half that time.’
‘For a seven minute venture, it's a smart move as most of the short leans on its visual attributes and spectacle in its short-form execution of a story that could offer plenty if given a budget for a more grand, possible 90-minute showing.’
‘Smith himself also lensed the action, and not for nothing as he exhibits gumption and gravitas when it comes to shooting fight choreography and stunts.’
