...otherwise it was an amusing melding of bits and pieces of pop culture occult lore and artistic license. Simon Callow's performance(s) alone was worth the viewing. Very good production values, comparable to any good British TV mystery series, with a dash of Dr. Who and a sprinkling of soft core porn. Crowley purists seem to hate it. Those who enjoy movies based on historical and biographical revisionism - Time After Time, From Hell - will get a kick from it.

bad acting pointless, to watch unless you are tying to waste your time :|

Most people on here tend to take things too serious. You need to forget what was real about the character in the first place. Just follow the movie for what it is. It is an interesting style that Bruce the lead singer of Iron Maiden has used that hasn't been done in other movies that are thriller type. It has a lot of heavy violence, sexual perversions in it and some pretty racy stuff, so kids under 16 should not be able to view
it. I think they all did a fairly well job in the acting department. One great mistake was when Crowley said the red headed woman was thinking about him intuititively, when he woke up in bed, it shows in the next scene she is hiding under the table from him and his side kick, and is totally undetected as well as walking right behind them both on the street undetected. If he could feel her thinking of him, then he should have picked it right up that she was near him. Then again, Bruce can't think of everything. I give it 4, quite entertaining, different. Just forget what you have read about the real Crowley when you watch this. Follow the movie for what it is, sort of a sy-fy type.
