The Devil's Own
I don't like to tell the story of the movie. I feel that it is something for you to see. This movie touched my feelings on the plight of a situtation that has been going on for years with no end in sight. In the fight that is still raging today in another country brings and individual who thinks he can make a difference into our own country to purchase items they believe will help them and the extremes that a person will go through to help his country and cause to win the war they have been fighting all their lives for.

One Of Both Ford's & Pitt's Best Films
Harrison Ford has done a done a considerable amount of movies I have really enjoyed and this is one of my favorites. It has a great story, good acting, nice photography and a pleasing soundtrack. It also has an excellent mixture of violence and lulls, not overdoing either and some excellent suspense. All of that adds up to a good two hours of entertainment.

Pitt also excels in here as the IRA terrorist who is extremely bitter, violently so, since as a young boy he witnessed his father's murder. It has to be one of Pitt's best performances.. Ford plays a New York City cop and an honest, good one at that, which is nice to see in a modern-day film in which filmmakers prefer to show corrupt policemen. Another very strong point of this film was the ending. When you read someone writing it was "unsatisfactory," don't believe it. Morally, the only objection I had to this film - other than the Lord's name in vain - was too much credence given to Pitt's revenge and violent lifestyle being "understandable" under the circumstances. No, sorry, but as sweet as revenge is to all of us, it shouldn't be condoned.

I love the Irish music in here, especially the final song sung during the ending credits. It's beautiful, so don't just the film off too soon.
