The Devil's Own
Directed by Alan J. Pakula
Frankie McGuire, one of the IRA's deadliest assassins, draws an American family into the crossfire of terrorism. But when he is sent to the U.S. to buy weapons, Frankie is housed with the family of Tom O'Meara, 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. From TMDB

28 of 28 · most liked firstBooks to Films 📚=🎞️ The Devil's Own (1966) by Norah Lofts was adapted to film the same year. The film creates a more visceral opening in Africa with voodoo and witchcraft being the focus. The book's psychological mystery is reduced for a more horror centered Hammer film. 👿🩸🧙♀️ #filmsky #booksky

positive · AI labelView post →Thinking back it's probably Twelve Monkeys. Everyone in that movie was just incredibly at their best. Tbh the mid-90s were just a great time for Brad Pitt films. Se7en, Twelve Monkeys, Legends of the Fall, Interview with the Vampire, The Devil's Own... I did love Mr & Mrs Smith tho 🤭

neutral · AI labelView post →THE DEVIL'S OWN is a boring slog of a film, but some of the family scenes with the kids are really quite lovely, like when the little girl asks Brad Pitt's character if he would marry her.

neutral · AI labelView post →so next St. Patrick's Day, I'll post this photo and write, "today is the ideal day for punching Brad Pitt in the face in the street while he holds a gun" and everybody'll be like, "oh yeah a reference to that well-remembered and Irish-themed Harrison Ford film THE DEVIL'S OWN" and it'll do numbers.

neutral · AI labelView post →Sometimes I watch a movie based on the cast alone. I'm going in on Blackway (also known as Go with Me) virtually blind, but it stars Anthony Hopkins and Ray Liotta! It'll also be my second Julia Stiles film in two days, after watching The Devil's Own last night. #film #movies
neutral · AI labelView post →Tonight's film is The Devil's Own with Harrison Ford and Brad Pitt. I'm curious to hear the latter's Irish accent and how it differs from Snatch, released three years later ("It's not Irish. It's not English. It's just.. well, it's just pikey."). #film #movies

neutral · AI labelView post →On the face of it, two A-list men at the top of the bill should have made this compelling, but sadly what we get is a rather lacklustre thriller that is positively lacking in thrills! The story centres around police officer "O'Meara" (Harrison Ford) who takes in an Irish lodger "Devaney" (Brad Pitt and his hilarious Irish accent). From the outset, we are aware that the lodger is really an IRA terrorist who is hiding out under an assumed name, and gradually his host begins to suspect that all is…
