The Devil's Own Reviews

They came from different worlds. They fought for different causes.

This film is as good as Brad Pitt?s Irish accent (although he mastered it in Snatch).

This has GOT to be the worst movie ever for both Harrison Ford and Brad Pitt. I found myself wondering throughout, "What is this movie even about?"

terrorists kidnapped Harrisons family again! part4584

Awful. At first I thought the story sounded real good at it got off to a great start but it just didn't follow through and bored the pants off of me. I got interested in something else and couldn't follow the story. Ford seemed to do a pretty good job but Pitt was annoying and dull. He just sounded stupid and fake.

Wow. With these two stars headlining something like this, you just think it has to be pretty decent. Sorry to disappoint you, folks. Ford puts in a good performance, but Pitt is only decent here. Must be why he openly bashed the film before and after its release and even tried to leave during filming. Apparently egos got in the way and after seeing this long, boring, incredibly predictable piece of garbage they have nothing to brag about. If Harrison's not either a smuggler or an archaologist, forget about it. This is no exception. By the way, it was a $5 bin movie. Imagine that one?!?

Brad and Harrison are two of my fave actors but this storyline is poor and accents are terrible.

Reinforces my belief that Ford is the most boring actor in existance. Brad Pitt seemed equally bored.

A magnetic, stunning and powerful thriller. It's nail-biting, thrilling and very exciting. Harrison Ford and Brad Pitt give strong and memerising performances. Treat Williams is teriffic.

lame.

A good thriller that deals with issues surrounding the IRA in America.

Don't be fooled by the star presence; the IRA political backdrop is nothing more than an overly simplistic conceit for the usual faces to put on ludicrous oirish accents and run around dark rooms jumping out at each other. This pseudo-political drivel is the american studio system at it's most mindless and offensive.

This is a good little dramatic thriller.

Ford and Pitt are superb in this powerful and exciting suspense-thriller. I'm glad Ford's still the good guy in this film.

Pretty disappointing.

Just saw this recently. It changed my whole opinion of Brad Pitt. I have to say, seriously, he really can act.

Don't look for a happy ending. It's not an American story. It's an Irish one.
Brad Pitt plays Frankie 'Angel' McGuire a wanted IRA soldier who is sent to New York City from Northern Ireland to purchase a massive amount of weapons. Harrison Ford does a good job, as the sympathetic New York cop who takes in the IRA gun runner in having no idea of his past. Is his Ford going to find out who Angel is or what he is planning to do! Well you'll have to see the film to find out.

It's well paced with decent acting, Brad Pitt's accent aside. The movie twists you emotionally in a way that few films can. You connect with the two main characters, and you grow to like them and find yourself getting involved in their story. Worth watching!

I'll end it with a quote that reinforces this movie and one that I believe "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter"

An IRA agent (Brad Pitt) who has moved from Ireland to New York in order to complete his agenda. He lives under a cover name and moves in to the home of a cop (Harrison Ford). It turns out that the Irish man is one of the deadliest assassins and he is in the US in order to buy weapons. The cop soon discovers that something is wrong and who the Irish man's true identity is. This movie was great and very exciting. Pitt performed very well as an Irish an Ford was awesome as always.

At last... a well-made, reasonably intelligent action movie. Brad Pitt and Harrison Ford are perfectly cast and at the top of their game in this suitably straightforward, highly entertaining thriller. It's not flawless, but definitely a good one. I really enjoyed it.

"It's naaaught an Amaarican staary. It's an Iiiiirish waaaan." No, Brad, it's a bad one.
