I was fortunate to see the sneak preview tonight at my church. AWESOME is the only word I can use to describe it.

It is in fact not only a movie but a cultural phenomenon, a bigger than life event. This film is a remarkable triumph because not only is the story moving and entertaining throughout but the Biblical story of Satan's fallout with God, his evil purpose for mankind is crafted to move and tell the story are so artistically powerful and universally appealing.

QUESTION: What movie today even talks about God? I just want to point out that a lot of people are pointing to the illegal downloaders as the reason for the attack that brought the score down from a 7 to a 4. Wrong. It was the devil and it's minions, I believe. Because like the other poster said we don't battle against flesh and blood (humans) as the Bible points out. The attackers will stand before God someday and give an account. In their pedestrian minds, I believe they truly don't care and that in itself deserves hell when they die.

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.

Here Malcolm McDowell sinks his teeth into the role of Satan, and it's no holds barred for sure. Some people like this movie, some don't, and it's thought provoking about human responsibility in the context of good v evil. Could one really sue the Devil? This movie gives you food for thought.
