The Devil's in the Details is a crime-thriller about an ex-soldier who is kidnapped by a drug cartel as part of an elaborate plan to rob another cartel. This soldier, Thomas (played by Joel Mathews) is chosen because his sister is a cop, his father is a judge, and his brother is a border patrol agent. So Thomas has connections to all the right people to orchestrate this heist.
It's an interesting premise but, overall, this movie isn't very good. Ray Liotta who plays an ex-Navy Seal and Thomas' psychiatrist does a fine job in the film but, unfortunately he's only playing a supporting role. The rest of the cast is a mixed-bag, with Joel Mathews probably being the weakest of the bunch. The film itself is a bit of a jumbled mess; poorly directed, with a halfhearted attempt at a twist, and an unsatisfying ending. However, despite it's shortcomings, I did find the movie engaging enough that I watched it all the way through without ever reaching for the remote to turn it off.
I don't recommend The Devil's in the Detail's, unless you're like me and will just watch anything with Ray Liotta in it.
I give this one a 1.5 out of 5.
