Summary: GREAT MOVIE
Review: Any movie with Al Pachino is great. This is a different direction for Pachino. I got this movie with the thought that it wasn't going to be a horror movie. I got more than I bargained for when it turned out to be a psychological "thinking person's" thriller. And yes, Devil's Advocate can also be classified as a "horror movie". A perfect (as usual) performance by Al Pachino and a believable performance by Keanu Reeves. See this movie..you will love the ending!!!

Summary: Well done "Hell coming to Earth" story.
Review: A lot of people probably found find this movie scary. I wasn't, but I don't blame them if they were. I give this movie 4 stars instead of 3 because of Pacino's performance. The only thing holding this movie down is Reeves. He's just passable. But it's still creepy.

Summary: Pretty good, for a Keanu Reeves movie
Review: "The Devil's Advocate" starts out good and gets better. Brilliant defense attorney Kevin Lomax (Keanu Reeves) dodges the truth to get his verdicts, and literally never loses a case. He is seduced by a New York firm headed by John Milton, as played by the wonderful Al Pacino. While Lomax is off in the NYC courtrooms chasing his career, his wife Mary Ann (played brilliantly by Charlize Theron) senses that all is not right with Hubby's law firm, and begins to see the evil that lurks under Milton's slick surface. Even before being told at the end, we *know* that John Milton is the Devil (it seems the only one who doesn't know is Kevin Lomax himself), but certain strange clues point to this conclusion: He speaks fluent Cantonese. There's a subway scene, when two Latino street punks threaten to kill Lomax and Milton, but Milton starts speaking fluent Spanish, telling one of the thugs that his wife is at the moment snorting cocaine (or shooting heroin, I forget which) with a man she is about to have sex with. (I'm not a Bible scholar, but I seem to remember hearing somewhere that the Devil speaks every language on Earth.) In the final confrontation, Kevin goes to the office to face off with Milton. The Manhattan street is totally devoid of any life or movement, in what is a truly memorable scene. When Kevin's Bible-toting, Uber-Christian mother comes to visit him in the city, she meets John Milton and is terrified of the suave, charming man. Pacino's monologue about a sadistic God is excellent. And although I have never liked Keanu Reeves in anything but action movies, I respected, if not enjoyed, his performance. The ending, in which Lomax is destined to sleep with his sister (it's darkly hilarious when Pacino says, with a raised eyebrow, "She's ovulating!") to produce a child that will be the Antichrist, will all at once shock you, relieve you, and make you angry. And even though it stars Reeves, it might make you *think.*

Summary: Sharpening The Human Appetite
Review: In life sudden wealth is often accompanied with a an emotional densensitisation, arrogance and "forgetting the people that got you there". A braver film would have examined these issues on a more intimate scale. The Devil's Advocate is an overought, occasionally riveting and always entertaining film that has little time for subtlety. We are introduced to Kevin Lomax (Keanu Reeves), a brilliant Flordia lawyer who is summoned by huge New York firm to help them pick the jury for a particular case. He meets the head of the firm John Milton (Al Pacino), and in a spectacular scene, standing next to a waterfall ontop of a skyscraper Milton offers Lomax a job. "Are we negotiating?" asks Lomax. "Always" replies Milton. As the film goes on, the wicked ways of the firm take their toll on Lomax and his wife. The religious imagery has become the norm for thrillers these days, and by naming the prince of darkness after the 17th Century Puritan poet John Milton who wrote "And out of good still to find means of evil", the film is given that Exorcist like edge. The suggestion that evil hides behind an apparent good, such as wealth for example. As Satan, Pacino has an obscenely good time. Through the film's many visually arresting scenes he is given great lines like "I'm the hand up Monalisa's skirt". While Reeves is essentially his straight man, I liked his naturalistic unforced performance. The Devil's Advocate is too obvious to really get under you skin, but its gothic often enthralling imagery is enough to reccomend it, the most memorable being Lomax walking a completely deserted Manhatten street with the skyscrapers towering beside him, a refrence I presume to Pharoah's fateful journey in the Sainai Valley.

Summary: I was Completely shocked
Review: OH My goodness. After I had first seen this movie, I completely feel in love with it. It had so many plot turns and unexpected surprises that I knew I had to see it over and over again. Al Pacino is the best character in the entire movie. He carries the entire film with his sly smile and smooth words. Before seeing this film, expect the unexpected.

Summary: Poor DVD picture quality
Review: The DVD has at least 4 split second glitches during the first 45 minutes of the movie. Buy the DVD if you want, but be prepared for these picture jitters. Poor Quality Control on this release. I'm putting this DVD on the same shelf as my Laserdisc print of Basic Instinct (with one bad sound glitch - a loud static 'pop' about halfway through the movie).

Summary: Powerful, Masterful Performance
Review: Pacino is his usual brilliant performance. Reeves shows maturation in this new role. His evolution is complete from Bill & Ted Excellent Adventure to this horror-drama. He would go on to apply this to the Matrix. One word about the demons. They scared the *hit out of me the first time I saw the movie. I own the DVD know and even though I knew they were going to pop up, when it came, I still shuddered. The demon effects are very disturbing, not cheesy at all, props to the digital artists for that.
