The movie “Devil” was more of a storytelling than an actual movie. As I was watching this movie, I was bored. If I didn’t have to review this movie I probably would of left and demanded a refund.
The movie involves five strangers: a mechanic (Logan Marshall-Green), an old woman (Jenny O’Hara), Sarah Caraway (Bojana Novakovic), a security guard (Bokeem Woodbine) and a salesman (Geoffrey Arend). They were stuck in an elevator by accident, but throughout the whole movie they explain how bad things happen for a reason.
Ramirez, a security guard (Jacob Vargas), says that his grandmother told him a story, and that in the story one of them was the devil and they were all there for a reason.
A detective (Chris Messina) investigates their background, and we find out that they’re all bad people in some way.? Throughout the movie some of the characters die, but you don’t see how they die. The power goes out every time someone is going to get killed and when the power comes back again someone is dead.
One of the few good things about the movie is that it’s unpredictable. The ending actually has a moral about the decisions people make in life. The ending teaches that people can repent and the importance of forgiveness. The ending was nice but not as good as it could have been because the character had strong feelings but no strong reactions.
Overall this movie was not thrilling as expected. It was something you tell around a campfire to teach little kids a lesson about life.? That would be a good campfire story but not a good movie.
