Product description

Harrison Ford and Brad Pitt star in this harrowing thriller about an IRA gunman who draws an American family into the crossfire of terrorism. Frankie McGuire (Pitt) is one of the IRA's deadliest assassins. But when he is sent to the U.S. to buy weapons, Frankie is housed with the family of Tom O'Meara (Ford), a New York cop who knows nothing about Frankie's real identity. Their surprising friendship, and Tom's growing suspicions, forces Frankie to choose between the promise of peace or a lifetime of murder.

A very interesting movie that its worth checking out
4 out of 5 stars
A very interesting movie that its worth checking out
The Devil's own is a very interesting movie with Harrison Ford and Brad Pitt. It has the Irish atmosphere throw out the movie which is nice for the good Irish people. All I am going to say Pitt is involved in dealing with explosive dangerous materials being sent from the U.S to Ireland. Ford opens his family home to Pitt knowing he is just an average Irish immigrant working in construction but him being a police officer finds out after his house is raided by criminals wanting Pitt. It looks very good on Blu Ray. Not bad at all. The detail is very good. Give this movie a chance. Its very interesting and you will enjoy it. Great seller. Fast delivery.I am one happy customer. Thank You.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Action drama based on the Irish troubles
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 December 2020
    Verified Purchase
    Brilliant cast lead this well-written and genuinely gripping and dramatic crime/action/drama movie from the wonderful 90s cinema. The pace and tension are both well-matched. A hardened and murderous terrorist shacks up with an unwitting American family, who are thrust deep into a violent and unpredictable arms deal they know nothing about. Explosive opening that isn’t quite matched by the action scenes later in the movie, though overall a brilliantly-executed movie and well worth almost two hours if your time. Sublime.

    5.0 out of 5 stars FORD AND PITT SHINE IN THS SUPERB THRILLER
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 January 2016
    Verified Purchase
    Got this as a discounted BluRay and what a knockout of a film. One of Ford's and Pitt"s best and one that, for its time, dealt with the touchy subject of American IRA sympathisers and how they get placed with innocent families when hiding out. Brilliant and thought provoking.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Sehr gutes Krimi-Thriller-Drama!
    Reviewed in Germany on 11 August 2007
    Verified Purchase
    Ich finde den Film sehr gut. Er ist für mich eine Mischung aus Krimi, Thriller und psychologischem Drama. Kern ist das Schicksal des von Brad Pitt verkörperten IRA-Kämpfers, der in Abgründe seines Landes eingetaucht wird und darin untergeht. Es geht darum, wie jemand in eine gewalttätige Spirale reingerät, sich nicht befreien kann und sie dann sogar weiter dreht, bis er selbst darin umkommt. Brad Pitt spielt es mit ruhiger, aber grimmiger Entschlossenheit und macht dadurch die Schicksalhaftigkeit des Verderbens gut deutlich, ohne zu sehr auf die Trändenrüse zu drücken.

    Harrison Ford verköpert überzeugend den Gegenpart des 'guten Bürgers', der fest auf dem Bodern der alltäglichen Bürgerlichkeit und ihrer manchmal spießigen Werte steht, dabei aber um die Abgründe jenseits dieser kleinen Welt weiß. Der Anteil an Action im Film ist gerade richtig und die entsprechenden Szenen sind angenehm zurückhaltend gemacht und dadurch umso berührender.

    Dem Film mangelnde Auseinandersetzung mit der IRA-Geschichte vorzuwerfen, ist m.E. Blödsinn. Darum geht es hier einfach nicht. Der politische Hintergrund wird gerade so behandelt, wie er für die Geschichte notwendig ist. Das reicht so völlig. Im ganzen also eine absolute Empfehlung.

    Der Film hat einige Längen, die Handlung ist aber klar strukturiert. Leider ist die Sprache sehr leise, der restliche Ton ist aber normal. Der irische Akzent von Brad Pitt kommt aber gut rüber.
