Mat Devon Sawa goes the way of Corey Haim and Wil Wheaton in demonstrating that being teen pretty-boy idol is no guarantee of adult success.This film is dire to the max. Every cliché and stereotype that the script writers could squeeze into it, is present. How they can have any pride in themselves is beyond me.Devil's Den is essentially a crass version of the already fairly crass Dusk till Dawn minus any of the road trip stuff before the ensemble (in D2D) arrives at the strip club. Kelly Hu provides appealing female eye candy, whilst the banter between Ken Foree and Sawa just about provides enough entertainment to prevent you completely lapsing into a drooling coma.The only remotely interesting part is that Sawa perfectly plays the vacuous dumb blonde that he appears to be in real life.I'm lousy at working out in advance how plots will unfold, and even I had figured out the "twist" within 1 second of the characters' real motivations being revealed. It was about as surprising as sun in the desert.The only reason I kept watching, was I had some ironing to do, and I couldn't be bothered to change the channel. I kept waiting for the "proper" film to start, but the movie was over before I realised this was the proper film - sadly.The creature effects were okay, but utterly wasted in this unimaginative dross.All that's left to Sawa is adverts for hair restore lotion and impotence cures, then he'll have sunk as low as it's possible for him to go.

fallguy_jack This is anything but a serious movie, and anyone who expects an honest try at a movie here is a fool. It's so cheesy it has to be intentional,and there is some comedic gold dispersed thru the film. True it's fairly predictable, and kelly hu is hot but isn't the greatest actor, though she is the most accomplished martial artist in the film. Devon Sawa may have been drunk the whole time filming, but that suits his character anyways.I laughed out loud more than once, and that's something most big budget Hollywood comedy blockbusters aren't able to boast. This film is a 10, because if it isn't a 10, it's a -3, and it's definitely not that.

Frederick Pallow First lets get one thing straight- this is a low budget movie. Second- it is the best low budget movie you'll rent in a long long long time. Good characters, good dialog, good action and mostly just funny. Devon Sawa does a really convincing job of playing the freaked out reluctant hero, and Ken Foree- who can not like Ken Foree after Devil's Rejects. In fact any movie with Ken Foree and the word devil in the title is going to be a good one in my opinion. Kelly Hu is very hot and so are a lot of the other girls in the club- at least before they get real ugly. Plus there's a special treat for Zatoichi fans. If you know any of those old movies then you know the actor they got to play him does a perfect imitation. Just watch his face and eyes.Bottom line this movie is more entertaining than anything in the theaters right now.Of course 300 isn't out yet.

Horror_nut-1 If you're a fan of classic horror comedies, and you're a fan of classic Samurai movies, then this is the movie for you. It was for me. This film is entertaining, from the opening scene with Quinn and his buddy, to the end credit roll (good stuff to watch there too). It never stops, it never even really slows down since even the moments without a lot of action are pretty funny, and most importantly - my number one rule for any film- it never gets boring.I read a couple of things comparing this movie to Dusk to Dawn. If you go looking for that, you might be disappointed. The production value is too different. This was maybe one tenth the budget, if that. But in my opinion, the story was better. And the action was better. If you disagree with me, go watch back and watch Sex Machine in Dusk to Dawn doing a slow back flip off the pool table and tell me that it was really good action. Not to mention, this movie has Samurai swords, and people who really know how to use them. And plenty of blood and jokes to go with them. Its worth watching. You won't be disappointed.
