New York Times - ...[Pitt] gives a first-rate, madly photogenic performance....THE DEVIL'S OWN delivers two traffic-stopping star turns for the price of one..., USA Today - ...[A] subliminally moody dark tone....The movie is crafted by pros...
Additional Information
THE DEVIL'S OWN, Alan J. Pakula's last film, is a character-driven thriller that confronts suspense and gritty realism head-on. Harrison Ford plays Tom O'Meara, an Irish-American cop in New York who opens his home and family to Francis 'Frankie' McGuire (Brad Pitt), whom they believe is a refuge-seeking immigrant from Belfast. They later discover that their visitor is an IRA rebel on a terrorist mission. Buoyed by tense, strong performances from both stars, the film is ultimately a tragedy that explores the unexpected friendship of two men of similar ethnic roots, yet of different places, times, and values, and the cruel and senseless cycle of violence they face.

Whenever Hollywood attempts to cover such a tenuous subject, like in this example the Northern Ireland troubles, they nearly always come in for fierce criticism for misunderstanding the issues, and to be perfectly frank, they deserve every piece of flack they got for this example. So let's get that out of the way first. The movie tried to be all things to all people. It tried to be tough on the terrorist lifestyle but at the same time it doesn't want to offend certain communities (far easier to have a stereotype sinister British Intelligence officer than portray the IRA as murderers isn't it?) So for example you have Brad Pitt as an IRA Terrorist, and yet he is actually a "nice" terrorist. He's never killed a civilian, he's only doing it because his dad himself was murdered and he comes out with incredible lines like "the Government that has failed both sides"! Yeah Right! Harrison Ford is career NY Cop, playing everything down the line, he abhors the lifestyle of Pitt and yet still likes and admires him. He hates the British Intelligence officer more though because he's going to kill Pitt, whereas Ford believes he can do the right thing, and simply bring Pitt to justice. The list is really endless with this sort of "terrorist or freedom fighter" drivel, and the film makes no attempt to portrait any of the reality of the Northern Ireland conflict. But, I guess the question we need to ask is, was this a film about the Northern Ireland troubles or is the Northern Ireland Troubles simply a background used to present what is an entertaining film? If it is the later, then the film works remarkably well. Both leads give good accounts of themselves. Pitt wins you over with his charming good looks and weepy eyes and no-one does the grim sickened expression as well as Ford. The pace of the film is nicely judged with the action scenes placed well with the family orientated scenes, and I thought the insights into Ford's regular day job well worked and a useful addition to the story. Credit to here to Ruben Blades as Ford's police partner. As I say if you forget the background then it's a great thriller romp. Think too much about the plot and the film will loose its sparkle.Read full review
