Suing the Devil

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.

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.

This is a non-Hollywood type film, too. There are no fancy sets, and some of the plot and dialogue are improvised, enhancing spontaneity and grim realism. It's a film not unlike 'Courageous' or other spartan Christian films.

"Suing the Devil" is one of the most visually striking film I have ever seen. And the underlying theme of mankind's arrogance, against an implacable Nature, is starkly apparent. The film is visionary, profound. It will leave many viewers changed, enriched, perhaps even a little wiser.

There are many good, very good and great films - too many to list, in fact. What I am hoping to do is label each film I see fit as a "masterwork".

This film is a masterwork.

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 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.
