I Could Only Long to be Put Through More “Troubled Productions” Like This One.
Justice is the summation of all ethical responsibility, but there are conflicting slants on justice. This reality is at the heart of this ignorantly underrated and dismissed film, which meets just gently with The Troubles. Rather, it searches the sad natural history of violence and how individual and social variables shape our slants on it. This is a film of various different tensions in which nobody is unreservedly right or wrong. Characteristic of Pakula’s films, The Devil’s Own has a solemn, subdued atmosphere that mutely connotes magnitude and seriousness. Cinematographer Gordon Willis’ inimitable use of light and dark is especially effective in a scene where Tom and Rory are caught in the sporadic lights of moving cars, a pertinent image for a story in which honor’s moorland is so transitory.

An Irish-American judge coordinates for Rory Devaney, an Irish rebel, to lodge in the suburban home of NYC police sergeant Tom O’Meara. This upright cop, his wife and their daughters haven’t a clue as to Rory’s real identity. While Rory is occupied obtaining Stinger missiles from Treat Williams’ American gang boss, Rory discovers himself emotionally enticed by his host family’s life. He hasn’t known this sense of comfort and peace since childhood before his father was slain before his eyes by a British agent. As the arms deal plods on, ample time is left for the two men to connect, and for Rory to feel remorse facing Tom’s morality and virtual pacifism.

Meanwhile, Tom confronts the prime predicament of his career when his partner Ruben Blades shoots an unarmed offender in the back and then presumes upon him to suppress it. Tom chooses to retire. But before he can submit his badge, he’s dragged into Rory’s nightmare when it invades and terrorizes his home.

Pitt and Ford give moving and realistic performances as two men whose fanatical dedication to justice puts them on a path to conflict. Instead of stressing epinephrine-boosting action sequences, Pakula fixes the film on the ethical clash between the resistance fighter and the unfaltering advocate of law and order. The action sequences are intermittent but vigorously ringing, with a premium put on the enduring formation of character. At an early stage of their growing personal rapport, Rory tells Tom, “Don’t look for a happy ending. It’s not an American story. It’s an Irish one.” The two actors have remarkable pull on one another. When they’re together on screen, you want to focus on both of them. They don’t seek to trump one another, but to enforce one another’s sincerity.

The Devil’s Own unmistakably seeks to build a father-son histrionic between Tom who has no sons and Rory, and it succeeds mainly since it never labors overmuch to labor on emphasis. Their relationship is relaxed and unaffected. A game of pool here, a snippet of conversation there. And Pakula counts on the actors to create a bond without turning to banal dialogue or unseemly bursts of emotion. These are two understated, strong-minded men who just appear to admire and enjoy one another. And when Pitt turns unreservedly cold-blooded when he’s forced into a corner, Pitt gives him the disillusionment of a guy who can’t meet the expense of a conscience. This point is that it’s unfeasible to choose sides, a point distinctive for a Hollywood film, a battle between people whose virtues were decided by their circumstances.

Naysayers called the plot incoherent, just a lot of moral grappling, not all of which relevant. Funny how they didn’t say that about the character of Mike Yanagita in Fargo, for instance. It’s as if it was new to critics that emotional associations with the plot we care about could be made by characters whose experiences outside that main plot course it’s important we see first-hand with them to grasp their ethical arcs.
