Suing the Devil is a 2010 Christian thriller film which was released in 2011. It was written and directed by Tim Chey, starring Malcolm McDowell and Tom Sizemore.
Luke O'Brien (Bart Bronson), a washed-up salesman turned night law student, decides to sue Satan for 8 trillion dollars. On the last day before Luke files a default judgment, Satan (Malcolm McDowell) appears to defend himself. On Satan's legal team are ten of the World's best trial lawyers. The entire world watches on Legal TV to see who will win the Trial of the Century.
Suing the Devil was released internationally in Brazil, UK, Canada, Australia, and Nigeria. The film was distributed on demand through a variety of services in the US and Canada.
The film won the 5-Dove Award from the Dove Foundation, their highest rating for a "family approved" film. Critics did not like the film. For example, Gabe Toro of The Playlist wrote: "The ideas behind the film are laughably primitive, and it's startling to see an actor of McDowell's caliber swept up in them. At the point where Satan begins taking credit for gangsta rap, it's clear that the ignorance that powers this film is borderline dangerous... In short, it's embarrassing on almost every level, poorly written, shot, scored and edited and bereft of a single idea, interesting or otherwise." Mr Toro gave it a Letter grade of F.
Filming took place in Burbank, Los Angeles, Darlinghurst in New South Wales and Sydney.
