AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

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.

Iain (iain777) I can't remember the last time I saw a movie this bad. The entire cast, with the exception of Malcolm McDowell, acts so poorly that it literally made me laugh/scoff at points. Unfortunately the main character is the worst of them all so you get a full dose of atrocious acting from start to finish. The production values, cinematography, and directing are also sub-par (think 80's after school specials), and that's being nice. The story by itself is not an awful one though, so it's a pity they did such a horrible job with it. My guess would be that this ends up on Mystery Science Theater's list of movies to ridicule.

aleistad-1 The premise of a trial with the Devil sounded like it could be a witty affair. And with Malcolm McDowell as the devil and all, it would surely not be too bad.How wrong! What I saw was so shockingly bad, that it's almost impossible to relate to would-be viewers. It was a dreary performance by all involved. McDowell's potential was thwarted by a cast that acted so badly that the mind boggles and a plot and dialogue that might as well have been written by naive 12 year old brainwashed kids.There was noting witty here, nothing smart, nothing interesting. This movie is an insult to the viewer's intelligence. It holds one mystery though: How on earth did Malcolm McDowell accept that role? It hurts to have to give the movie a score of 1 in order to write this when a 0 would have been right.

Sam Hilton The reason I give this a 3 out of 10 is because I gave 2 points to the script and 1 to Malcolm McDowell for his acting, which was still less-than-great and, frankly, quite cringe-worthy in the 2 or 3 instances he appears to be attempting an Australian accent.The main issue is the general terrible acting throughout the movie from the entire cast (McDowell excluded). Let's look at one of our lead actors, Bart Bronson; an essential unknown and for obvious reasons. From the start he failed to convey any convincing or scene-appropriate emotion or gusto in his voice, or any realistic posturing in almost every scene.*Spoiler Alert* In the scene where 'Satan' (McDowell) first enters the courtroom and appears to head up the entire courthouse, all of the visible cast start fanning themselves and commenting on the sudden heat. A simple scene yet with some of the most unconvincing acting and background dialogue I have ever scene. Not to mention, the fact that they may have just met Satan and they seem to not be very bothered.Another major issue is the sheer pace of the film. I understand that in a film like this, you need to get to where the action is (the courthouse) quickly but, not 12 minutes into the film, the first entire courtroom scene with Satan present is already over, leaving no time to explain anything in depth or build up any endearing information or background story on the characters. All in all, a film I would not recommend.
