Alan J. Pakula was one of the most influential filmmakers of the “New Hollywood” era, as his work on classic conspiracy thrillers like Klute, The Parallax View, All the President’s Men, and Rollover helped to define the espionage genre as it is known today.
Pakula does a great job at subverting expectations when it comes to characterization, allowing both stars to give performances that are somewhat outside what they are best known for. Ford is of course known for playing some of the greatest heroes of all-time, but Tom is certainly not as snarky as Han Solo, as brave as Indiana Jones, or as belligerent as Rick Deckard.
Posts ‘The Devil’s Own’ Is Both a Crime Thriller and Family Drama The Devil’s Own examines the notion of familial responsibilities, which makes it far more accessible than other conspiracy thrillers. One of the key dilemmas that Tom faces is whether or not retiring is in the best interest of his children; although he knows that it is his responsibility to survive so that he can protect them, he does not want to forsake his duty and set a bad example for his daughters.
