blackmamba99971 Although I am a fan of Malcolm McDowell. I have a lot of reservations about the lead actor Bart Bronson. A man down, and out of faith losing his ability to comprehend of what it means to be a human being in this crazy world of ours. Sorry to say his acting was very hard to swallow. Corbin Bernsen, Tom Sizemore, and a few others who have cameo appearances do their bid well with their own parts. Except for the narration from Bronson every so often. Where did this guy come from? His voice, mannerisms, body language all said I just got out of the porn business, and now trying the real deal. His emotional outbursts did not bode well with his delivery especially during the court case. Yet in the same moment Malcolm responded brilliantly with each line he spoke. The story has merit. An original tale to say the least. The only other two I can think of playing the devil are Al Pacino in The devil's advocate, and Angel Heart with Robert Deniro as old scratch. Both films shone bright as the two method actors played Lucifer to the letter. Suing the devil had spotty areas, but all in all not a bad attempt albeit for Bronson's character, and very flimsy line delivery. But I don't mean remembering his lines, I mean the aural blandness with nearly no emotional balances to speak of. Everyone else did their part, which saved the film. Perhaps with some more in depth acting lessons Bart could be on his way to better scripts.

sol hamster I had no idea of what to expect when I started watching Suing the Devil, only an interesting front cover and some names I recognised.For the first half hour of the movie I was wondering whether this was an anti-religious roast of a Christian film, the premise was weak, the dialogue cringe worthy, and the acting so wooden I had to check myself for splinters. Then suddenly, like a revelation from heaven, I realised they were serious.The remainder of the movie I watched only so I could write this review. Bart Bronson's acting as Luke was especially appalling, as were 80% of the remainder of the cast. I wished Satan had won the case and dragged the lot of the to hell for eternity.As a Christian movie you get everything you expect : straw-man arguments, bible spouting, arrogantly closed minded world views, and presupposition out the whazoo.All this can be summed up in a quote from a pastor on the witness stand who says "Prove in 30 seconds that God exists? I can do that in one sentence, something cannot come out of nothing, its impossible". I think Lawrence Krauss may have a few things to tell you, pastor.The 2 stars for this movie go only to Malcolm McDowell for his hilariously enjoyable performance as Satan, he should get an award for "Acting too damn well in a god awful movie".Oh, and in the end Luke was dreaming it all. Timothy A. Chey must have read page one of "Script Writing for Dummies" and not gone any further.In conclusion, avoid at all costs unless you enjoy having your intelligence assaulted and/or are already heavily indoctrinated in the Christian world view.

kylere Take the concept of quality movie making. Take the concept of writing a script. Take the concept of interesting dialog or plot. Now, throw all that out!None of it was involved in this movie. I was so sad to see a once great actor take a paycheck to be involved in nothing more than a really bad propaganda piece. Paying a big name lead was merely part of the deception to convince you to buy this tripe. Don't watch this unless you are a Christian fanatic. Comparing this to a movie is almost impossible because it like comparing Stryper to Led Zeppelin.

Jason T Before I begin, I want to separate Malcolm Mcdowell's performance from the rest of the "movie", and treat them separately.This "movie" ran more like a two bit amateur western suburbs protestant (pick your denomination) church attempt at film than a movie to be taken seriously. The actors didn't know if they were Australian or American, opting for accents that weren't quite either. Their performances were stilted, rigid, and unnatural. The dialog was tedious, nonsensical, and boorish. I mean, really, who goes around all day talking like the characters in this movie...other than the most intolerable bible thumpers? And the court room scenes...don't get me started on those. I mean, even law and order comes somewhat close to accuracy. Even judge Judy has an actual judge! But this....this made both shows look like videographic authorities on procedure.Whoever made this took an idea that could have made an excellent movie...suing the devil! It could have been light with dark undertones, and could have had subtle philosophical depth. It seems like whoever made it was so focused on pushing this ideological axe they had to grind...so driven to send out their message, that they neglected the simplest of things about making a good movie. They thought the message itself was enough, however delivered. Instead it came across amateur, unbelievable and tacky.On the other hand, Malcolm Mcdowell was brilliant as always. The perfect villain plays the ultimate one (well...if you believe christians, that is). His performance was flawless, and was the only reason I didn't give the movie a 1. But the whole movie I couldn't help but wonder why he would be part of such an awful production.
