Devils do not visit the world very often, and when they appear, they neither bring good luck nor cause damage. They are not under the control of God, they come and go in a hurry, but they pass by the world while they are doing their business that the world can't fathom. Many people ask them questions when they meet them. Do they know God's intentions? Why were they cast out of heaven by God? The answers of this group of fallen angels are the same, with only one sentence: you decide your own business, that's what we do, and I suggest you do the same.

    Commercially packaged religious concepts are already accessible to mainstream audiences. It's a pity that the narrative in the middle part is completely lost, and Al Pacino is so amazing, but Shariz Theron still looks good with curly hair.

    The ambition is too great, the whole process is drug-like crazy, the entry point is great, the dialectical discussion between God and Satan existentialism. Everyone is born with original sin, and lives for all kinds of redemption. One thought of heaven and hell, and then giving you another choice, it may be a different result. Pacino’s performance is still above the standard. I like the rhythm and claustrophobic atmosphere in the first half, but the excessive preaching in the third act is a bit ruining the atmosphere.
