End of Days

(Universal)

The Devil (Gabriel Byrne) is in town (New York City) for the big millennium bash, and if he hooks up with the right girl at the stroke of midnight, all hell will break loose. The woman in question (Robin Tunney) unwittingly carries the mark of Satan, and only she can bear his child -- but Arnold Schwarzenegger as an ex-cop turned security expert keeps stealing his date. Peter Hyams's film looks great, but the plot is flat and uninspiring. What keeps things afloat is Gabriel Byrne as the pleasure-seeking Devil-in-the-flesh.
