Silly Action/Horror film - End of Days review by GI
After battling aliens, herds of mercenaries and even Batman I suppose the devil was all someone thought was a big enough adversary for Arnold Schwarzenegger. With the obvious influence of The Omen (1976) this is basically a shoot em up action film combined with a horror narrative. It's really a very cheesy script and with some daft ideas even though Schwarzenegger gets to try some different character flaws as here he's a grieving father and husband, an alcoholic and depressive suicidal ex cop all rolled into one tough guy. He's Jericho Cane (it doesn't get any more biblical than that) who now works for a private security company in New York. In short after a failed assassination attempt on a client he gets caught up with the hunt for an innocent girl (Robin Tunney) who has been coveted by the devil, in the form of Gabriel Byrne, who must copulate with her before in the last hour of 1999 to bring about the 'end of days'. Armed with a veritable arsenal of weapons and with more or less everyone else as either a devil worshipper or a crazy priest of Cane sorts it all out. The devil is basically a sex addicted suave corporate type, so easily despised; the girl is young, virginal and beautiful, and everyone else is a basic staple of the two genres. The wisecracking partner (Kevin Pollack), the wise old priest (Rod Steiger), and the faithful devil worshippers (Udo Kier & Miriam Margolyes). This is a silly film really, it has some entertainment value but it's nowhere near the best of Schwarzenegger's action films.

VALUE-FOR-MONEY MOVIE - End of Days review by Frank Talker™
Complete nonsense, really - but never boring.
Replete with much better actors than an action movie really needs, Gabriel BYRNE is the best in a persuasive performance as the Devil.
