I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Good movie but grossly overrated

Good concept, poorly executed.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

What a god awful movie. Most of the actors are worse than what you will find in a small towns community theater. Over the top, stilted, terrible acting that makes the whole thing (as stupid as the premise is)even worse.I don't know how they got a couple of the actors in this film, McDowell for example... they must have thrown a lot of money at him, for this film is a steaming pile of garbage.Premise- Man angry at mothers death sues the devil in court. Low and behold, Satan shows up to defend himself with a team of lawyers. Throw in a bunch of bible thumping "Jesus died for our sins" about 200 times, over acting by the entire cast...Not worth the time to watch, again, unless you are an ultra Christian.

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.

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.

Young law student Bart Bronson upset over the death of his mother has concluded that Satan is responsible for all the evils in the world. So what to do but take out a lawsuit and sue him. So in this Australian Christian film he does just that. There is a service problem to be sure, but Satan himself answers the show cause order which is what they would call it in the USA. Satan even assembles a dream team of lawyers to help in his defense leaving no doubt that law is a profession he dominates. There's a reason for all those lawyer jokes.This film which I could take apart theologically as well as cinematically is a turkey. So when you're in a turkey what do you do but gobble gobble full blast. Which is the reason I'm sure Malcolm McDowall took the part of the Prince of Darkness. Other than a healthy paycheck that cleared the bank before cameras started rolling and a trip to Australia McDowall is in this film so he can have a ball overacting outrageously in the role of Satan. This film ought to be shown in every acting class in the world as what overacting looks like full blast. Does Bronson win his case? That's for you to find out and what also happens in the coda that follows. I doubt this one will win too many converts.
