Summary: very average
Review: well we have here one Actor who though i respect and is an All-Time Great, is becoming over time a one trick OVer The Top Acting Fool.that is Al Pacino.every film over the past decade has been this way.this is no exception.and as far as the other Actor goes Keanu Reeves is as Lame Brain as they come.he is a 3rd tier Tom Cruise.the film has some moments but overall is pretty empty.nothing that i haven't seen already.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Devilish fun
Review: Interesting if somewhat contrived thriller sees hotshot lawyer Reeves lured towards the big city by gargantuan law firm with more than a few devilish tricks up it's sleeve. All the trappings of success and wealth are here, tempting the protagonist until we actually find out that his boss is literally from hell, he is old Lucifer himself. Nicholson got to play the devil with much relishing affect in Withces of Eastwick, now it's Pacino's turn. Pacino blazes across the screen you can almost see the fire in his wake. There are only a few actors who can handle a role that demands such an over the top performance without looking completly hammey and ridiculous. Reeves surprises with a more insightful performance than ever before and Charlize Theron (As Reeves's wife) mental breakdown before our eyes is powerfully disturbing, proving that shes no flash in the pan. Marred by only it's incredibly laberous running time this is the sort of wickedly enjoyable romp if only for a laugh at Pacino's Satan.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You'll love this Satan
Review: Pacino is absolutely fabulous (as always), this time as Satan. Great great movie. This is one of my favorite movies. It's fastpaced, the acting is great, you really feel how the circumstances are changing every character in a different way. The sad figure is Reeves wife and ultimately Reeves himself. Watch it to find out how...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Keep's you thinking!
Review: I enjoyed this movie immensely. I don't think you have to be an X-files fan, only a person who enjoys a good, wholesome movie with twists and turns. You think you might know how it's going to end, but you're wrong. It is the best movie I have seen in a long time. And Al Pacino is the best satan!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Definitely great!
Review: I love these kinds of movies where you think you know the end but it just switches right off the path in the last 30 minutes.

The idea of including heaven and hell in this film is superb. Great actors and actresses. Reeves' Wife just gives us the impression she really is possessed by Satan.

The scenario is very sophisticated and modern, and the plot is very well designated and realistic. I loved this movie and I recommend it to anyone who can easily accept seeing a few drops of blood...

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: WHAT!
Review: I didn't care for this movie much, it was very hard for me to follow. Maybee all the naked women "distracted" me from following it 100%-Sometin' Kool

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Advocate

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: "Speak of the Devil: Pacino and Reeves in 'Advocate.'"
Review: Surely everyone reads The Holy Bible. Even I read it on occasion. And a lot of doomsayers believe in the book of Revelations that Satan will have his turn on Earth. But director Taylor Hackford has something else in mind: a trying stake to create "The Devil's Advocate" where Keanu Reeves, playing a winning attorney named Kevin Lomax, has a once in a lifetime opportunity to move on up for a better life. Way up. He is wooed by a very mystic law firm, headed and controlled by John Milton, played to sadistic terms by Al Pacino, in which we know, except for Lomax that Milton is actually the devil himself. So now, Kevin and his wife Mary Ann (Charlize Theron) then head to New York. But as time passes on, Kevin is encouraged by Milton to make his winning streak the best ever by quickly taking on a triple-murder case, and for a minute turn his attention to a wild sexy assistant Christabella (Connie Nielsen.) On the other hand, Mary Ann begins to, not envision, but actually see that Milton's wife and friend are truly monstrous demons, then soon, she nervously exaggerates into a nervous breakdown. Kevin is horrifyingly upset and realizes from his Holy Bible-quoting mom (Judith Ivey) that Milton is actually his father. Talk about turning heads! Like I said, you ought to give credit to Pacino. He does have his 'thoughtful' moments to share, although discussing in his terms what God really does got me a little burned up. Also, nudity really abounds from the females (both front and back) in this nightmare-filled spree, so don't be surprised. I can say that "The Devil's Advocate" IS drama, yet later in the film becomes a horror movie. One hint though, "Advocate" has a double-twist toward's the end, but the devil won't make me talk about it. Warner Bros./Regency Enterprises, Color by Technicolor. Rated R for sexuality, nudity, violence and language.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: thrilling yet chilling movie
Review: this movie was creepy and chilling but at the same time it was exciting and the special effects were great! If you are an x-files fan than i reccommend you see this movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: NOW THIS, IS A MOVIE!
Review: If Nathaniel Hawthorne had written a screenplay, this would be it. That a major studio produced a movie this meaningful and well-executed, is nothing short of a miracle.

In every scene with the Devil, it's made abundantly clear in small, subtle ways, that to exist, evil must have collaboration. Forcing people doesn't count. Evil requires an act of free will.

Like a truly great book, you can't see this movie too many times.
