[1] The film follows Staff sergeant Reginald Barnes (Truvillion), a recently discharged Army veteran who finds his way back into society via congressman Ambrose (McGowan).

[4][5] Film critic Jim Morazzini from Voices from the Balcony gave in 1 of 5 stars writing: "Talky and dull with a plot that relies on coincidence Sanctioning Evil is an overlong mess that could have been a solid revenge-based action film.

Instead, it incorporates bits of all three and comes out with a mess complete with a sanctimonious quote from the Bible to justify it all.”[6] Nelson Acosta from Fiction Horizon gave it 8/10 and praised the performances writing: "when the film gets going, it ends up becoming this fascinating exploration of morals in a world that doesn’t want anything to do with them.

Some might find it anticlimactic, but Sanctioning Evil goes for it and makes the film worth watching.
