Summary: The Devil's Advocate
Review: I thought this was one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. Although running on tv everytime I turn it on, I still can't help but to change whatever I was watching...back to this movie. Highly recommended. Best acting for all characters I have seen in a long time.

Summary: Pacino is brilliant
Review: This is one of the better horror movies to come along in a while, largely due to Al Pacino's casting in the role of Satan. He spends most of his time in the film subtly seducing a wily Florida lawyer played by Keanu Reeves, who is, unbeknownst to the character, a truly "bad seed." The film climaxes with Satan suffering a setback, but still very much in the game. It says a great deal about the persistent nature of evil, and the need to be eternally vigilant against it. I was confounded by an earlier review which criticized American's distaste for "unhappy endings." This film ending on a very menacing and uneasy note. Plus, films are viewed for entertainment, and truly sad endings are hardly entertaining.

Summary: Accurate Depiction
Review: The Devil's Advocate starring Al Pacino and Keanu Reeves is an accurate depiction of how the adversary-the devil-works! This movie has gotten bad reviews by those who fail to see the spiritual dynamic of its message. Pacino is absolutely riveting in his portrayal of the devil. His successful attempt to have Reeves focus on himself instead of focusing on the most important matter-his wife-caused him to lose her and nearly himself. Pacino's smooth approach describes how the enemy slides his way into our lives, wreaks havoc and then places the blame on us! The Devil's Advocate is an excellent spiritual teaching tool on the dangers of yielding to temptations. Vanity is his (Satan) favorite sin. Its ending basically shows us what our life could have been like if we followed the wrong lead. If anyone wants to know how Satan operates, check out the Devil's Advocate. Kudos!

Summary: Devil's Badvocate
Review: This movie could have been better if Al Pacino morphed into Jackie Chan and Keanu Reeves into Chuck Norris. They would decide the fate of the Earth over a mind boggling cgi kung fu blowout. Talk about good versus evil.

Summary: over the top
Review: "Dude you're my dad, my boss, and satan! Dude!" Keanu never utters this line but it's written on his face during the last half-hour. This film is excellent over the top melodrama with Pacino enjoying himself so much he almost tap dances through the movie.

Summary: Great Movie
Review: Al Pacino offers an amazing performance in this great movie. The concept is great and is one of those that'll leave you thinking long after the movie is over. The only downside is that Reeves reinforces the belief that he is not a good actor. His stoicism is couteracted by Pacino's excellent performance and it's possible to ignore Reeves' failings. All in all, an enjoyable experience.

Summary: PACT ..........
Review: CHARLIZE THERON .......it's HER movie you know. Cannot take your eyes off her - she's SO MUCH MORE than Monroe, Harlow, ... the rest ...........One of 'those' tales - along the lines of 'never bet your head', or 'don't wish for it - it might come true and you wouldn't quite know how to handle it'. It's slightly smilar to "Rosemary's Baby", you know - 'Innocense lost and all that Jazz', but it does deliver some nasty little shocks along the way. PACINO? Has great fun playing 'old Nic', Mr. Reeves? Talent STILL untapped. Connie Nielsen [pre 'Gladiator'] - severely underrated as the mystery woman...... IF you enjoy tangled tales - this one's right for you! CHARLIZE? Unstoppable talent! DVD? Just great!

Summary: "Devil's" Due
Review: Hotshot lawyer, Kevin Lomax (Keanu Reeves), has never lost a case in court. This perfect record catches the attention of a firm in New York CIty and he is offered a job. Along with his lovely wife, Mary Ann (Charlize Theron), the couple heads North from Florida. Upon their arrival, they are almost instantly accepted as part of the "family",and Kevin is introduced to firm founder, John Milton (Al Pacino). Milton takes an instant liking to to Kevin, however, with that friendship, the cost could be more than the young couple bargins for. Directed by Taylor Hackford, I would say that this film, ranks as one of my guilty pleasures. The movie doesn't take itself too seriously and is a "modern gothic tale" with solid performances by all of the principals. Pacino, Reeves, and Theron give the film proper amounts of drama, while at the same time, giving the audience a "wink" The best way to enjoy this film is to just go with it and have fun. Its not a perfect film, by any means, but it is a lot of fun. The DVD has a very "talkie" commentary from Hackford. I don't think he ever stops talking, even to take a breath, on the track. There are almost 40 minutes of deleted scenes. It's a shame that you can not watch them without hearing comments from Hackford. Sure, the director puts all of the cuts into perspective in relation to the final film. I just think it would have been nice to have a non-commentary option with this feature. There are 5 theatrical trailers, 2 television ads, and production notes to round it all out. I can overlook the flawed extras on the disc, thanks to a fun film, with gleeful performances. *** and 1/2 stars and recommended

Summary: Not too horrible ...
Review: Watch Mia Farrow redecorate her huge new New York apartment while she begins to get a creepy feeling from her neighbors. Watch her cut her hair, have baby-drama, dreams (maybe), crack up and run down the long narrow hallway in the apartment with a butcher knife. Oh wait, it's Charlize Theron ... oops. Still kind of fun. Sort of a mirror-image Rosemary's Baby. This time told from the husband's POV. Stylish effects, and some wild action. Nudity galore, Actually
this is pretty entertaining.

Summary: Al Pacino gives the devil his due
Review: Of all the actors to portray Satan, Al Pacino gives the best performance as the prince of darkness over everyone else. It is Pacino's performance as John Milton (aka: Satan) that makes The Devil's Advocate worthwhile; with every other actor to portray Satan, they always portray him as a menacing, relentless sum of all evil. Pacino gives Satan a classy swagger never before seen, making the devil seem more human than previously imagined. The film itself is great, with Keanu Reeves' portrayal of Kevin Lomax, a hotshot lawyer who gets his chance to work in Pacino's lawfirm. The beautiful Charlize Theron and Connie Nielsen give good performances as well, especially Theron as Reeves' wife who senses something foul afoot, and eventually starts to lose her mind. Jeffrey Jones and Craig T. Nelson give good performances as well, Nelson is rather good as a murder suspect who Reeves is picked to defend. All in all, The Devil's Advocate is a great thriller, and Pacino is devilishly (no pun intended) charming as Satan. A little side note: when Pacino and Reeves go to the boxing match, Pacino introduces Reeves to Don King and they seem to be good friends. Whoever said that Don King made deals with the devil might have been right afterall.
