Such a frustrating disappointment

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

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.

I really enjoy watching Malcom McDowell on screen and I really like dark humor and sarcasm. By the title it should hit spot on but oh boy was I wrong... Could only endure this cinematic monstrosity going through 3 separate sittings throughout the week - If you can do it in less time, congratulations my friend for your virtues are greater than mine. At the end it is hard to believe so many actors (and McDowell included) would endorse such a cliché movie supporting religion.Hoped it would be a witty dark humor flick with Mr McDowell in it and all, thought it would be nice to see him as Satan...It is NOT that kind of movie at all; instead, very unfortunately, it is a cliché, Christian based and truly truly terrible acting from everyone, dare I say sort of like high school plays. A disappointment for a libertarian atheist like me, missed opportunity of producing a fun movie really.We end up with a mesh up of biblical quotes, Jesus loving statements, clichés and terrible acting. Barely any jokes about religion or anything else at all.It feels like it has been commissioned by a church of some sort but there's always this other possibility - this thing is so terrible that it could well be the work of Satan himself. Awful!

I watched this film because I love supernatural tales and Malcolm McDowell. By the time I realized that I was being morally instructed, I was fascinated with how bad the film was. Until McDowell (as Satan) showed up, I was wondering how long they could draw it out. The protagonist, a naive and goofy loser going to law school at night, seems completely lost at the idea of playing a character and instead becomes an Australian caricature. The rest of the cast was even worse, over-acting cartoons of sinful lawyers and corporate types.Then Malcolm McDowell appears, Satan coming to defend himself (with the aid of ten lawyers). He proclaims himself to be the Devil and denies all allegations that he is behind all of the evils of the world. He plays it pretty cool, with occasional satanic outbursts, until he's cornered and lets loose with a demonic soliloquy that literally shakes the rafters and is the only worthwhile five minutes of the film. Only McDowell or Jack Nicholson could do it so well.Without the five minute reprieve, I would have given this one star. The other two are strictly for Malcolm McDowell's solo performance.

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.
