All the Devil's Men is a 2018 British action thriller film written and directed by Matthew Hope and starring Milo Gibson, Sylvia Hoeks, Gbenga Akinnagbe and William Fichtner.
Jack Collins is a war junkie and former Navy SEAL turned bounty hunter who tracks down terrorists as part of the CIA's outsourcing to private companies. Battling personal demons, the powers think that he is becoming a liability so his CIA handler Leigh offers him one last chance to keep fighting, sending him to London for a job. There, he finds himself part of a three-man team tasked with hunting down a disavowed CIA Operative called McKnight before he procures a WMD from Russian gangsters and disappears. Together, Collins, Brennan and Samuelson find themselves locked in urban tactical combat with a former colleague, Deighton, and his private army, hired by McKnight as protection. Both sides fight smart and as casualties and betrayal mounts on both sides, Collins refuses to be defeated as he battles his way to an explosive climax.

Dennis Harvey of Variety gave the film a negative review and wrote, "There’s a lot of double- and triple-crossing, culminating in a fadeout that seems to go one plot twist over the line of narrative coherency."[6]
Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter also gave the film a negative review and wrote, "The problem is that the pic is such an utterly routine, formulaic and forgettable example of its genre that watching it becomes an exercise in endurance."[7]
