The Devil's Own

Nick Schwab

The central story of an IRA member taking up residence with a NYC policeman is quite good, and the scenes with Ford and Pitt bonding have this underlying heart of deceit to them. Less strong, however, are the scenes with Ford at his job, which teeter on silliness or underdevelop their relevance to that strong main conflict. Ultimately, The Devil's Own is a melodrama that could be a stronger, more thrilling drama.

This one is really bad. Pakula's last film but it's more a producer movie than anything else. Instant crap.

Brad Pitt's accent is not as good as his work in Snatch, so he mumbles a lot of it to hide the soft spots. --DiB

Une oeuvre sympathique de d'Alan Pakula qui déçoit rarement, malgré un académisme sans surprise qui s'attache plus à décrire les liens d'amitié naissant qu'au conflit historique ..... www.cinefiches.com

3.5 It's a dodgy classic, come on!
