Bad Relations: The Current Cinema: The New Yorker

Finally, near the end, the filmmakers stop backpedalling and rush through a series of increasingly violent acts in which the two men, trapped by their mistakes and their nauseating guilt, fall apart. “Devil” is devoted to the chaos unleashed by a single terrible idea. The fractured time scheme brings out the unsurprising but still enlightening lesson that crime should be left to the professionals, and that greed humbles smart-asses like Andy, who think they’re invulnerable.
