Suing the Devil

Malcolm McDowell gives an impeccable performance. However, the material he was given to work with was not as good as 'Clockwork'. In fairness, perhaps there was no way it could be. In 'Clockwork', he was somehow more foreboding, more of a sort of superhuman monster; in Suing, he's more accessible, a guy you meet on the street. Maybe it was impossible to maintain the mystery of who the devil is that we saw in Clockwork because of the risk of doing a rehash. I'd give the overall of Satan character a 9 of 10 in this film, vs. a 10 of 10 in the last one. Not quite as good, but still very good.

Satan is a devilish beast - brutal, merciless - takes captives.

Luke's character, on the other hand, fell flat in this film. He was good, bu that's no excuse for what was done to Luke. His character gets a 3 of 10.

The story was much weaker in Suing than in Clockwork. It almost seemed like an excuse to present us with the characters, rather than a story in and of itself. Still, it had no other major flaws, so it gets a 6 of 10.

Overall I give the film an 7 of 10. Very well done with a few weaknesses, well worth watching.

A rating. I agree this is maybe the most hard-core Christian film ever made. And also agree it is very uplifting and will leave you in tears.

Ignore the haters. They're almost pathological. They come as "angels of light" pretending they're Christians, but complain about the green-screen? Are you kidding? We know who they are.

The film's acting was incredible, especially the lead actors like Malcolm and Bart Bronson a newcomer. The visual effects were stunning. Everyone in my church group loved this movie and all agreed it was one of the best Christian films they've ever seen....

There is a definite spiritual battle out there and this film deftly shows it.

A rating.

I want to start this review with the note that this is my first review ever,i did not write one until now because i am a critical person and i have not met a movie yet which moved me so deeply that i felt the need to write a review.

The outcome of the movie makes you seriously think about God, us people ,about our lives and how we treat our neighbors and people around us ,about our behavior as mankind,we enjoy killing, criticizing, and destruction instead of respecting ourselves and others and the world that surrounds us. I recommend this movie to anybody,especially those people who can understand the deeper meaning,it is very likely that this movie will stay with you for the rest of your life,and its sure that this is one of the best movies ever made.

Look forward to the next one

This is a non-Hollywood type film, too. There are no fancy sets, and some of the plot and dialogue are improvised, enhancing spontaneity and grim realism. It's a film not unlike 'Courageous' or other spartan Christian films.

"Suing the Devil" is one of the most visually striking film I have ever seen. And the underlying theme of mankind's arrogance, against an implacable Nature, is starkly apparent. The film is visionary, profound. It will leave many viewers changed, enriched, perhaps even a little wiser.

There are many good, very good and great films - too many to list, in fact. What I am hoping to do is label each film I see fit as a "masterwork".

This film is a masterwork.

Man alive. Just saw this....

I LOVED MALCOLM MCDOWELL (sp?)' s performance in this!! He really convinced me he was the lucifer so discussed in Scripture.

A stellar cast giving some of their best performances, visuals that deliver beyond what I imagined, a perfect mix of humor, passion & tragedy, and a feeling of grandeur, scope & impending doom. Perhaps as an ensemble piece with so many characters & the inability to concentrate on any one except Satan's, it can't be measured against some of the classic character study films, but even the casual moviegoer can grasp the ideas & not get lost - who who win the trial? Now to the characters. All I can say is, "Wow." I was a little apprehensive about the casting at first; I'd created such real images of the characters in my imagination, I almost didn't want them spoiled for me. However, I was not disappointed in the least. Corbin Bernsen, though not one of my favorite actors, was believable.

So was Tom Sizemore (amazing!)
