Lyrics to 'Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea' song by GEORGE HARRISON: (I'm in. 1, ah 2, ah 1, 2, 3.) I don't want you But I hate to lose you You got me in between the de. In the recent Demolition, Jake Gyllenhaal coped with his wife's death by literally taking apart everything he could put his hands on, including his house. And in Bill Purple's feature directorial debut, a distraught widower copes with his wife's death by befriending a homeless teen urchin and helping her to build a raft to sail out to sea. Whatever happened to good old- fashioned drinking yourself into a stupor? Screaming its faux poeticism with its very title, The Devil and the Deep Blue Seastars Jason Sudeikis, making an unfortunate stab at stretching his dramatic chops, as Henry, an uptight New Orleans architect on the verge of his biggest career success with his design for an upscale New Orleans waterfront development. He's happily married to the very pregnant Penny (Jessica Biel), whose wacky free- spiritedness is signaled by her throwing out Henry's dress shoes and replacing them with bright purple sneakers. While most men in real life would be annoyed by this, Henry, who even before tragedy strikes seems to be walking around in a daze, takes it in stride. Right after asking Henry to look out for the teenage girl who she's spotted going through their trash, Penny is killed in an auto accident. The girl turns out to be Millie (Maisie Williams, Game of Thrones), one of those only- in- the- movies figures who narrates the proceedings with such phrases as . That is, until he comes across Millie — who tells him that she's named . So Henry, infused with a new sense of purpose, throws himself into the task, even tearing apart his own house for materials with the assistance of his friends . The performances are equally ineffective. Williams and Biel, both employing thick, unconvincing accents, don't so much play real people as archetypes, with the latter, frequently seen in gauzy flashbacks and fantasy sequences, actually proving more annoying dead than alive. Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea and over one million other books are available for Amazon Kindle. In difficulty, faced with two dangerous alternatives. The phrase was originally 'Between the Devil and the deep sea' (and somes 'the Dead Sea' or 'the Red Sea'). The sea turned blue much later and the phrase. The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea: Jason Sudeikis sinks into melodrama 1 / 5 stars. Now comes The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea, another drama about a widower who finds solace in the company of a wayward teenager. And Sudeikis mainly portrays Henry's grief by staring blankly into space, his character barely making an impression even after eating a plate of marijuana- laced stew (don't ask). Although it's refreshing to encounter a New Orleans- set movie that doesn't set foot in the French Quarter, the film is strangely lacking any semblance of Southern atmosphere. Finally, there's the overemphatic musical score by Justin Timberlake (wonder how he got involved) that makes the music in daytime soap operas seem subtle by comparison.
