    Love the Native American element
    I just watched the Harbinger, which has its own unique mythological storytelling in its own right, and was discussing how I've never seen a native American element employed in a Devil movie before. And they said watch the prophecy.

    Both movies are great, but this one obviously has a much higher budget. I love Christopher Walken and Viggo Mortensen.

    I thought the concept of the war between the Angels and trying to gain a soul was interesting. I can see in both movies how if you don't have the great acting the overall concept could go south real quick.

    With guys like Walken and Mortensen the acting definitely brings the entire movie up. Fun watch!
