End of Days
1999

Director: Peter Hyams
Cast: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Gabriel Byrne, Robin Tunney, Kevin Pollak

On the eve of the millennium Satan must impregnate a young woman in order to rule the world. Arnie plays a security specialist and Christ figure Jericho Cane (J.C. - get it?) who has lost his faith in God but is determined to foil the plan just for the hell of it. This is a long, silly and illogical action film in which the Devil alternates between clueless and allpowerful, depending on what the plot machination requires. God is absent from all of this, although the ultimate message is that one should have faith in Him.
