Will I watch it again? No.

While it's strange seeing Schwarzenegger in a film like this, it's also refreshing. He's the star but it's not your typical Schwarzenegger picture.  His acting is par for the course with the occasional dip into bad territory.  Gabriel Byrne, though, is the shit in this.  He's great. Kevin Pollak is fun, too, and Robin Tunney does a great job as the object of Satan's attraction.  The story is pretty good but there's something about this picture that didn't work for me and I can't put my finger on it.  It could be this was a 100 minute film in a 121 minute body. I don't know.  It'd take another viewing to figure it out but I don't find it compelling enough to warrant another go at it.  I dug it but not THAT much.  I REALLY dug the ending and with Jericho's (Schwarzenegger) decision.  Nice.  Very nice.
