A good movie

I really had no clue what to expect from this movie and, to be honest, I thought at first that it would be another underwhelming modern horror-thriller dealing with exorcism. Eventually, I have to admit that it was not bad at all after all. Indeed, it was in fact an interesting combination of two different genres (courtroom and exorcism) and I thought it was very well done with some good performances from the whole cast, especially by Tom Wilkison, Laura Linney and Jennifer Carpenter. Indeed, it was dealing with some interesting ideas, like how can you judge someone, a judgment which should be based on proven facts, when beliefs are at the centre of the whole process ? I thought it was quite captivating to watch, at least more captivating than your usual Hollywood thriller which always go for the cheap thrills instead of giving you some real things to think about. Unfortunately. it is too bad the movie was not really neutral and they clearly chose the side of the priest but I thought that there were not too much theatrics and it remained a very interesting reflection on the subject. Anyway, to conclude, it was actually a very well made and entertaining thriller and I think it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
