It tries too hard, but Parks' design props the film up just enough to make it worth sitting through until an expertly staged conclusion.

What The Riot Act lacks in gripping pace, it makes up for in stunning cinematography which beautifully captures the moody atmosphere of the era.

It is a strong first feature from writer/director Devon Parks, even if it is a little slow going and too smart for itself.

A poor stage act, this is. An unfortunate disappointment.

What ultimately keeps The Riot Act from working isn't its villains but its hero.

"A strong woman witnesses her conceited father kill the man she loved and will have him pay for it. A suspense film that will keep you guessing what will happen next." - Noah Wilson (iHollywoodTV)

This film is AMAZING! Full of suspense, drama, and murder most foul! The film was filmed in my hometown and the fictional story was spawned from a true story! Devon Parks did an amazing job with the story and the directing. Miss Sweester, Mr. Price, and Mr. Cullen all did a fabulous job in their roles! This is definitely a must see film!!!

WOW! This movie is a true thriller. You would never know it was from a first time director. It keeps you on the edge of your seat and guessing the entire movie. I highly recommend this movie for everyone! A little bit of cussing, so leave the young kids at home.

Great movie! It is a thriller, without being graphic or gory. The authentic historical buildings featured in the movie make you feel like you have gone back in time. The plot and the acting keeps your attention throughout the movie. Don't miss it!
