Suing the Devil

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.

The rating is ridiculously low brought on by all the haters who stole this film online. They will stand before a living God someday and give an account. The Bible is clear about the wicked shaking like a leaf at the Great White Throne judgement.

With movies nowadays being nothing but flashy, over-the-top, CG-fests, "Suing the Devil" holds up like osmium. It's a powerful movie about the spiritual battle you face following Jesus as Lord and Savior.

The cinematography is good because it's quite understated and that's a virtue in today's cinema. The acting, while containing pretty lame Southern accents, is still pretty good. Even from the lead dude.

Sorely forgotten in it's day, the script tells a very deep, original and interesting story, with lots of development, respect for the characters, delicate pacing, and a head-spinning ending. The movie is solely about the people and their struggles. Fear takes hold of the audience through the dialogue.

Think of "Suing the Devil" as a Christian Woody Allen trying his hand at a horror/thriller and succeeding. This movie never makes you jump, but it puts you in a general state of discomfort through its atmosphere. As with all memorable supernatural dramas, this one handles its spectacle with discretion and grace.

Isn't that what we hope to see when we watch any movie? 10/10.

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

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.

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.
