Review of The Devil's Own (1997) by Kevin L — 21 Mar 2008
I'll be 33 in May, but I'm pretty sure that if live to be at least 65 this will still rate as one of the top 5 worst movies I've ever seen. I'm hesitant to put it above Hudson Hawk, but it's up there.
Okay, so let's go over the premise again: IRA terrorist enters U.S. in like less than a week. Lives in NYPD cop's basement covertly posing as a laborer while secretly pressure wash a decrepit tugboat which he'll use to transport Patriot missiles back to Belfast.
Oh, and mind you he's going to sail it himself from NY to Belfast (??). Pitt befriends Ford's family who celebrates Catholic confirmation with Irish dancing and Irish folk music. Oh, and Treat Williams is in this movie too which is already an indicator that it's horrible.
