It is an outstanding movie. It's not what it is expected to be. It can be boring for those who like action, but for people who for people who adore wordplay or wit wars, it could be a real pleasure. This movie is not for feelings or compassion. It is for following the intricate little story.
The pictures are good. The actors are right in their places. Also, I enjoyed sounds coming out of their mouths. The story flows showing humor and leaving nice feeling behind.

I wanted to like this movie because I found the premise unique & interesting. But whatever promise it held was wasted through poor acting and a rambling script. I don't recall seeing such bad acting in a film ever before-- it's truly on the par of a small town community theatre, and often sinks below that meager bar. Some movies shouldn't have been made. This is one of them. Hopefully someone with more experience will pick up the concept & run with it.
Just a word for the director or whoever listed this movie here Kindly add the word school project next time you make such an abomination so it dont end to the wrong audience. ... and for the people rated that as 8.1 ... shame on you.
A hard movie to get your head round - the premise of the movie offers promise but fails to deliver.
The two main actors: Bramwell Noah as 'The Devil' is excellent in his role - giving a low key performance that oozes just the right amount of menace mixed with bafflement at the human experience. Daniel Schepisi - as 'Jesus' also shines - a very charismatic actor.
Outside of these two actors I have to rate the rest of the cast as pretty poor - sorry - but just saying your lines is not acting. Rarely have I seen such an un-emotive cast - especially considering the setting - a Psychiatric Unit.
The soundtrack was dismal - more a hash of random music clips strung together then a soundtrack.
Not entirely sure what the addition of the Solicitor, Private Investigator et al were supposed to add to the the movie - and in retrospect, I'd have to say that they mere detracted from the general flow.
Conclusion: A watchable movie but lacking any kind of real spark.

Dunno how this won any kind of awards, was boring and the use of music in it was atrocious......worse thing is I went into this really wanting to like this movie as I thought the premise was interesting but poor execution ruined it.
