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.

The worst thing about this rating system is the fact that I cannot give a bellow zero (0) rating.I have watched this film hoping that is something to enjoy in a lazy afternoon.I was horrified by this poor attempt of a movie, and, don't get me wrong, I have seen abysmal movies: I have seen The Room. Acting was mediocre and saying this is generous. The script was predictable yet disappointing. The leading role was played about the most boring men on the entire movie industry.The only redeeming "quality" about this artifact is the ending (you have to see it, no spoilers). Let's just say that soap operas are payed a tribute here.This movie is worst that anything that you will ever see. Nevertheless, please see it for yourself. It might be the case that you are its intended audience.

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.

Where should i begin? Why am i easting my precious time reviewing this film, which it is a shame to even call it a film. Why is Malcolm McDowell? Did he owe someone a favour? Or is he willing to anything for a dollar? He seems to be doing a Jack Nicholson impersonation, even wearing the sunglasses throughout the film. The story is extraordinarily ridiculous and unfortunately lacks true comedy. It seems that someone took the subject too serious. If it had been funny, then it might be worth watching, but it is completely devoid of humour. In addition to the lack of story and humour, it lacks actors. The acting is either over-the-top or sorely lacking, especially from the lead actor Bart Bronson. Do yourself a favour, go outside, enjoy the sunshine or visit a friend or paint a wall and then watch it dry, you will get more out of it. There should be negative stars for films this badly written and acted.
