Bosworth is supposedly a brilliant oil goddess that outsmarts a farmer who has had his ground water poisoned. She navigates the farmer, the illegals, and the oil company to end up sitting head of the table at the end. The storyline is fractured and the stabs at dark comedy don't really work.

Interesting but ultimately over the top; "The Devil Has A Name" has a decent approach but fails to deliver a film worthy of its talent in front and behind the camera.

In this drama inspired by true events, a psychotic oil matriarch leaves the whole industry exposed when she attempts to outfight a farmer whose water has been poisoned.

The exaggerated approach is what really kills "The Devil Has A Name". There is no fine line and honestly the story gets lost in its antics. The casting is good and Kate Bosworth is bad-ass but even she can't save this film. David Strathairn is also delivers a good performance, but then again when is he ever bad? Overall unfortunate that a film like this directed by the legendary Edward James Olmos, couldn't get better treated.
