Title: Suing the Devil<\/strong><\/p>\n

Director: Timothy Chey<\/strong><\/p>\n

Starring: Malcolm McDowell, Bart Bronson, Shannen Fields, Rebecca St. James, Tom Sizemore, Corbin Bersen, Ros Gentle<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pablum would be a step up for “Suing the Devil,” an inane, moralizing\u00a0Australian production from writer-director Timothy Chey that centers around a lawsuit against Satan.\u00a0Aiming for\u00a0some theoretical sweet spot between\u00a0comedy, courtroom drama and\u00a0Up-with-Jesus! sermonizing, this poorly sketched and dreadfully acted movie can’t even be saved via an attempted personality transfusion from a ranting, raving Malcolm McDowell, in the title role.<\/p>\n

Still wrapped up in grief over losing his mother to a drunk driver,\u00a0a down-and-out Sydney law school student, Luke O’Brien (Bart Bronson), decides to file a suit against Satan for $8 trillion. He seeks a default judgment, but the devil (McDowell) actually shows up to answer the charges, so the judge lets the matter proceed. With but one inexperienced co-counsel, Tony makes a stand against a 10-member legal dream team of high-powered attorneys. Artlessly intercut with\u00a0all of these shenanigans\u00a0is footage from a “Justice TV” panel show, “You Decide the Verdict,” in which host Barry Polk (Corbin Bersen) debates the\u00a0ups and downs of the trial with two commentators (Tom Sizemore and Christian pop singer-songwriter Rebecca St. James).<\/p>\n

Burdened by a laborious\u00a0set-up of Satan’s all-star gang of trial lawyers, and even more harebrained and awkwardly earnest voiceover narration throughout, “Suing the Devil” takes what could be an intriguing and funny concept and just runs it into the ground, in ham-fisted fashion. There are a couple funny bits (walking into the courthouse Satan fells an enthusiastic\u00a0“fan” who mentions he’s also a fan of Kiss, explaining that he hates the band\u00a0and instead prefers Tom Jones), but these moments are definitely scarce and far between. The acting is also problematic, to say the least. A game McDowell tries his best to inject some wicked fun into the movie, but O’Brien is simply terrible.\u00a0His over-the-top emoting\u00a0and other subpar performances make passages of\u00a0“Suing the Devil” feel like a middle school dinner theater production.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0script’s structure is a mess, too. The actual trial\u00a0doesn’t much conform to any\u00a0legal proceedings with which I’m familiar; the defense presents part of its case first, and various witnesses, including O’Brien and Satan himself, alternate time in the witness box, for whatever is deemed\u00a0convenient and necessary to move the plot\u00a0forward. Even within the framework of its ridiculous conceit — in which the admissibility of the Bible as evidence is waved off by Satan as a magnanimous gesture —\u00a0“Suing the Devil” can’t much\u00a0summon a smart and lively theological debate, having O’Brien\u00a0stupidly (and broadly) argue that “the love of money is the root of all evil.”<\/p>\n

Scripture is trotted out on both sides, naturally, but Chey’s stooping efforts\u00a0to try to shoehorn in comedy (wherein Satan claims responsibility for leaf blowers and automated customer service, and constantly derides everyone as losers and nitwits) is about 10 percent as clever as he thinks it is. “Trial of the century,” huh?\u00a0Only in movie hell.<\/p>\n
