Steineded How sad is this?

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

blackmamba99971 Although I am a fan of Malcolm McDowell. I have a lot of reservations about the lead actor Bart Bronson. A man down, and out of faith losing his ability to comprehend of what it means to be a human being in this crazy world of ours. Sorry to say his acting was very hard to swallow. Corbin Bernsen, Tom Sizemore, and a few others who have cameo appearances do their bid well with their own parts. Except for the narration from Bronson every so often. Where did this guy come from? His voice, mannerisms, body language all said I just got out of the porn business, and now trying the real deal. His emotional outbursts did not bode well with his delivery especially during the court case. Yet in the same moment Malcolm responded brilliantly with each line he spoke. The story has merit. An original tale to say the least. The only other two I can think of playing the devil are Al Pacino in The devil's advocate, and Angel Heart with Robert Deniro as old scratch. Both films shone bright as the two method actors played Lucifer to the letter. Suing the devil had spotty areas, but all in all not a bad attempt albeit for Bronson's character, and very flimsy line delivery. But I don't mean remembering his lines, I mean the aural blandness with nearly no emotional balances to speak of. Everyone else did their part, which saved the film. Perhaps with some more in depth acting lessons Bart could be on his way to better scripts.

mc_cappy The worst thing about this rating system is the fact that I cannot give a bellow zero (0) rating.I have watched this film hoping that is something to enjoy in a lazy afternoon.I was horrified by this poor attempt of a movie, and, don't get me wrong, I have seen abysmal movies: I have seen The Room. Acting was mediocre and saying this is generous. The script was predictable yet disappointing. The leading role was played about the most boring men on the entire movie industry.The only redeeming "quality" about this artifact is the ending (you have to see it, no spoilers). Let's just say that soap operas are payed a tribute here.This movie is worst that anything that you will ever see. Nevertheless, please see it for yourself. It might be the case that you are its intended audience.

patrikbjrk When I first heard of this film I thought the idea was brilliant, and I still think the story of a lawyer suing the devil could have been one hell of a movie. Unfortunately it turned out to be total crap.The actors are terrible (I've seen better acting in school plays) and the story turns really stupid after the first ten minutes. McDowell is the only one acting like an actor, and even he isn't very good. During the film I found myself wondering how on earth they tricked him into this film, but then I realized not only was he playing the devil, he was also producing it.I won't spoil the end for those still to see it, but it was so lame it would have dragged my vote down even lower if I hadn't already voted 1.If You hadn't figured out this was really a drafting video for Christian churches in the Sydney area from the story, all You had to do was watch the credits.

Jason T Before I begin, I want to separate Malcolm Mcdowell's performance from the rest of the "movie", and treat them separately.This "movie" ran more like a two bit amateur western suburbs protestant (pick your denomination) church attempt at film than a movie to be taken seriously. The actors didn't know if they were Australian or American, opting for accents that weren't quite either. Their performances were stilted, rigid, and unnatural. The dialog was tedious, nonsensical, and boorish. I mean, really, who goes around all day talking like the characters in this movie...other than the most intolerable bible thumpers? And the court room scenes...don't get me started on those. I mean, even law and order comes somewhat close to accuracy. Even judge Judy has an actual judge! But this....this made both shows look like videographic authorities on procedure.Whoever made this took an idea that could have made an excellent movie...suing the devil! It could have been light with dark undertones, and could have had subtle philosophical depth. It seems like whoever made it was so focused on pushing this ideological axe they had to grind...so driven to send out their message, that they neglected the simplest of things about making a good movie. They thought the message itself was enough, however delivered. Instead it came across amateur, unbelievable and tacky.On the other hand, Malcolm Mcdowell was brilliant as always. The perfect villain plays the ultimate one (well...if you believe christians, that is). His performance was flawless, and was the only reason I didn't give the movie a 1. But the whole movie I couldn't help but wonder why he would be part of such an awful production.
