Everyone involved in bringing this appalling and embarrassing farce of a movie into fruition should roast in Hell for all eternity !

As a devout Catholic, I can comfortably say that this movie was an absolute joke. Christians who thought this movie met their standards for how they want to be perceived, or found the message to be enlightening… seriously need to deepen the intellectual parts of their faith, philosophy and theology. It seems to me that a lot of them don't actually know why they believe what they believe, which produces the kind of shallow and meaningless rhetoric that this movie so terribly embraces.

Easily the worst acting I have EVER. SEEN. I am a "Christian" and clearly understand that "Christian" movies aren't always box office smashes, as well as the actors that are in them aren't always big players either. BUT, this one was just soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo lame and ridiculous. I feel sorry for Malcolm having to endure this. Left Behind looks like an Academy award winning film when compared to this turd of a "movie"

In the previous comment I meant to add that the execution of an otherwise good idea or premise was very poor. By that I mean that the writing was poor. Why not get the help of a real theologian or philosopher to explore some important themes in more depth, such as free will? Where was the theodicy problem? The dialogue and acting were just bad. It turned into a proseltyzing movie.

The premise is good, but the execution. I got through most of it though because I enjoyed the acting of the guy playing Satan. The rest of them were terrible actors.

Abbey, your comment really hit me. "The world is so messed up today" Platitudes like that are the fuel behind this movie. There is not one unique word uttered from any character nor one concept that hasn't been regurgitated by Christian media over and over and over again. This film was actually worse than the abortion one I was forced to sit through at my Catholic school. They did the same thing in that movie as they did with this one–force their Christian message down your throat until you are espousing the same New Testament rhetoric. The only thing better about the anti-abortion movie than this was that I only had to sit through watching premies get throw into the trash, not the preacher turned actor's pathetic and nauseating performance.

I am a Christian and this movie is beyond dreadful. The acting is poor, cheesy at best – it's such a lame attempt at movie-making that even the name of Malcolm McDowell can't lend it credence. The idea is wonderful but the movie ends up being a transparent proselytizing vehicle that just doesn't make the grade.

I am assuming that those of you defending this film are doing so because you are Christian and not because you are paid by the studio.

If so, you only make yourselves look bad when you attempt to defend something that is as low quality as this. This is obviously an awful movie… surely you realize this, even as you defend it. If I was a Christian, I would be embarrassed by this film. It makes Christians look moronic, and defending it makes you look even more moronic.

I get that you have an agenda and a belief. Do your thing. But pick your battlegrounds more carefully. This movie isn't worth it.

mr toro,

you should not be reviewing films, period. you should look for another field coz u totally miss the tactical approach of the director.

this movie successfully delivered the heavy message…of good and evil, of ultimate deception and of how the world is so messed up today using light approach and fun.

mr toro lighten up. you are so trying to be deep and analytical. but you came out so shallow. pls stop reviewing films man.

We just watched this – well, about 30 minutes is all we could endure. Very poor acting. None of it was even the slightest believable. I'm a Christian and feel awful that most media by Christians has to be so cheesy when there are so many great Christians in the industry.

Hey Mark,
Do you realize that your 2 comments basically support the writer's point that the film is garbage that only Christian fanatics would consider "marvelous"? Did you read a single sentence of the review? "Suing the Devil" is an embarrassing excuse of a film – badly written, badly acted, badly edited. The only good thing about this movie is … hmmm … I can't think of anything good. I'm sure you will think of something.

They should have Tommy Wiseau as part of this project. Well, what a waist!

Don't worry. McDowell will be starring in HOME ALONE 5: ALONE IN THE DARK this Christmas. ….Apparently ghosts are involved…. or something.

Just saw the film on Time-Warner On Demand.

My entire family loved it. So did my Pastor who recommended the film. It's funny that the reviewer never mentioned the truly marvelous scenes like how Luke gets someone to prove God exists in 30 seconds or Malcolm's incredible monologue at the end. "I invented customer service."

I give it a 10 out of 10. I think Malcolm McDowell should have been nominated for an Oscar for his role. He's really good playing the devil.
