    An Engaging Thriller
  

*by M***A on Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2018*

A cop's crisis of conscience is at the heart of The Devil's Own.Alan J. Pakula directed this excellent thriller with a deft eye for intriguing shots and suspenseful action. Behind the hail of bullets and tender conversations is an empathy for both the IRA and the NYPD's motives. The Devil's Own (1997) is a testament to ethics, morality, and justice. All the bloodshed is not worth the wasted lives that die in their causes. Despite the film's lack of backstory for The Troubles in Ireland or the IRA, it gets to the heart of how people justify their actions.I found The Devil's Own a fascinating character study of Harrison Ford's police officer and Brad Pitt's IRA terrorist commander. You see how Pitt warms up to Ford's family and lifestyle. It makes you think of how Pitt's character is thrust into his life rather than choosing it. I do not think the criticisms of The Devil's Own hold water. It is not trying to be a historical documentary about the IRA, it is a thriller and a brilliantly executed one at that.Pitt's Irish accent is pretty good, despite him improving and polishing his accent in Snatch (2000). I found his acting quite compelling as he carries you through each scene with a cool confidence impressive for such a young actor. Ford gives one of his rare passionate performances wherein he actually tries. I liked the dynamic between the two men in the lead and how they juxtapose different sides of the law.Overall, perhaps this movie is not the best representation of the IRA, but The Devil's Own is an entertaining movie to the last. Gripping shootouts, tearful performances, heavy drama, and ethical dilemmas elevate The Devil's Own to one of my favorite Brad Pitt films.

    Cliched look at a complex situation
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2021*

Looking past the Hollywood honchos, the sappy music and the tidy ending it pays to look a little deeper at the film which purports to examine the "troubles" from an American angle. First we have Frankie McGuire (Brad Pitt) an IRA Rambo who can take on a whole platoon of heavily armed British soldiers like he was pigeon shooting. Then we have Officer O'Meara (Harrison Ford) as a typical NY Irish cop (i.e. Catholic, family man, soft-core Irishman). McGuire is sent to New York to buy stinger missiles so the IRA can shoot down helicopters. But things get glossed over :  O'Meara, although played by the saintly Ford, is actually a corrupt cop because we see him covering up for his partner when the partner shoots a kid in the back and then pretends the kid had a gun.  From that point O'Meara is a mess of moral anguish and blood lust especially when his family is dragged into Frankie's mission. No more to be said on the plot. It is entertaining enough if you know nothing of the Irish situation and overlook the contradictions in everyone's character which are not from complexity but rather from bad writing. There is a better more realistic story about IRA shenanigans in the US that takes place in Boston...and one of the stars is Whitey Bulger. That would be entertainment. Another sin: the waste of the radiant Natascha McElhone in a minor role that has no purpose other than to try to humanize Frankie just a wee bit....he is definitely one of the oft spoken of Hard Men of the IRA...at least in their mythology.

    4 Stars for Quality Acting and Watchability, but...
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2021*

It's a surprisingly watchable film and not as eye-rollingly dated as it should be given this film is pre September 11. It moves forward in it's pacing in an admirable way, but there are many unbelievable aspects to the film. Probably the biggest silly aspects are that a city cop would try to sort out a Federal matter without so much as a phone call. Then there's a boat that's supposedly going to sail in rough seas, manned by 2 men.The plausibility meter starts to drop rapidly in the 3rd Act.Still, an admirable film in the way it is made. The cinematography is no joke with all of the night scenes. Costuming gives the film a look that's still contemporary looking 30-plus years later.
