The Devil's Own features two extraordinary actors, a gripping, suspenseful story, and a sad ending. Unfortunately, neither the plot nor the action (there wasn't much to begin with) was anything new and the movie lagged in parts, not to mention the seriously disgusting scenes. The Devil's Own is a good movie, just not anything special.
