Suing the Devil

I just read about this movie in the LA Times! I can't believe it's in Top 2000 most popular movies of all time! It backfired on the downloaders! Yeahhhh!!

I'll never forget my first viewing of this movie at the theater and will always look back fondly on it for one reason: helping me quit smoking cigarettes! I was expecting an intense movie and I got it. Little did I realize how well-received this film would be and how it propelled this small film into the front page of the LA Times Although entertaining, this is not always a fun movie to watch, especially with the scenes with the devil trying to mess with Luke's mother's death Shannen Fields is excellent as the wife of the lead star. A major part of the film is psychological more than violent as Satan constantly taunts "Poor Luke" while he tries his best to defeat Satan on the Witness Stand. The by-play between the two is a game in itself.

The looks on his face, his fascinating vocabulary with intelligent sarcasm and frankness, never ceases to entertain.

I give the film a solid '8'

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!)

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.

10/10 - What a movie! What an experience! You'll want to watch this one over and over again. A powerful story of a man who sues the devil for 8 trillion. All I can say is.....wow.

This is not just another Christian movie. It's about struggles that everyone faces in life. But knowing we will spend eternity in heaven. Not hell. It involves issues that everyone can relate to from financial challenges to faith to marriage to fighting the devil every step of the way. It will make you laugh and cry, but in the end it will make you realize that "all things are possible with God" and He loves us so much He sent His son to die on the Cross. You'll feel great when you leave the theater.

I recommend it highly.

I am sick of reading reviews from these nutcases that claim that this movie is too religious, Christian, etc.

Enjoy the movie for what it is. It is a movie meant for a FAITH-BASED audience - those who believe in God. The flack that Borat got and the flack that The Ringer got does not stop those two movies from being great and meaningful in some sense.

Christians are made fun of all the time, and I don't understand why some atheists are being offended for the bringing down of others when those people aren't offended.

I am Filipino and half American and I have mentally retarded family members and I thought that The Ringer was a great movie; This movie is not making fun of Mentally Challenged people anymore than Forrest Gump did.

If you are smart then you have seen the kind of movies Rebecca St. James is in, and you know that some talk of God will exist. If you are offended by this movie, then don't see it. Go see Space Chimps (good movie), unless you are going to be offended by degradation of Life on other Planets, etc.

I agree with the other posters - it's all coming from the same guy: This movie critic who illegally downloaded the film and got caught. Then, in a psychotic way, attacks the film almost everyday. I mean, get a life, dude.

Just, take the movie for what it is. A Movie meant to target a specific audience and bring humor and happiness.
