by AliventiAsylum  in Movies,  - Top 50, Mar 16 '03
Pros: good contrast of the two cultures, very nice cinematography
Cons: weak action, talent here could be put to better use
Don't look for happy endings, Tom. It's not an American story; it's an Irish one.... It's an interesting contrast in this movie - the difference between the Irish-Americans and the new immigrants. The Irish-Americans seem to be desperately ...

Pros: Realistic IRA storyline - you get a good look inside their battles.
Cons: Worst movie I've ever seen Harrison Ford in! SLOW SLOW SLOW
Being a Harrison Ford fan, I try to catch every movie he has made whether in the theater, or on video/DVD. I had to FORCE myself to finish watching this film. It was horrible in my opinion. What drove Harrison to agree to take this script?

Pros: Both leads have great screen presence.
Cons: Confused script doesn't know who to root for.
I hate comparing movies that really don't have much in common, but the day before I saw "The Devil's Own", I had just seen "The Saint", and both movies share the same strange unsatisfying feeling. "The Devil's Own" has had some controversy surrounding...

Pros: Interesting view of the Irish conflict
Cons: Pointless scenes
This movie tried to make me cry and get my blood pumping at the same time. It really did. And it should have succeeded- it had all the right ingredients- great actors, death of a parent, tragic confrontation of two men who care about each other but are...

Pros: Best of the Troubles flicks...
Cons: WHO'S the baddie...?
Us misplaced Irishmen have seen movies about the Old Country come and go, some fairly good ("The Crying Game"), some kinda bad ("A Prayer For The Dying"), and some horrid ("Patriot Games"). Convicted of duplicity in the...

Pros: enjoyable to watch if you don't take it seriously
Cons: Oops, they forgot to make a quality movie
I am not sure if industry fodder is a commonly used term in this country or not, but I’m sure that’s who this movie is made for. Harrison Ford and Brad Pitt are very sexy and that’s why I went to see this movie. That’s also why I stayed for 2 hours...

Pros: Strong acting, intrigue.
Cons: Lack of action for those who prefer a lot.
What do you get when you mix an mild-mannered Irish lad seeking revenge for the murder of his father at the family dinner table with a New York cop who, nearing retirement and bound to uphold the law, has never had to pull the trigger in his entire...

Pros: fantastic story line
Cons: ----
I have to say that Brad Pitt is one of my favorite actors so of course I loved this movie. But I also really liked this one because it was so good.
Here is the 411 on this flick. Frankie or Rory depending on where he is and who he's talking to...
