Summary: It works well
Review: I thought Reeves and Pacino were well cast, and was impressed with Keanu as the callow young lawyer...its the best performance I've seen from him so far. I'm mystified why people are so down on him. Charlize Theron is great. The movie holds up over multiple viewings, and I'm really glad I bought it for my "video library". Despite some disturbing sexual allusions, it is at heart a very moral, thoughtful movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Makes you wonder if you are a leader or a follower.
Review: This is the best movie I have seen in a long time. The writer of this film wants the viewers to recognize that sometimes who we follow is not necessarily a good leader. Ultimately, forcing the leading actor to decide whether or not he is truly the devil's adovocate.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Pacino gives a stunning performance with silver screen taste
Review: The constant battle of good over evil continues in this thriller. Pacino all but steals the show. The special effects and gruesome creatures are catchy to the eye but Pacino's power and elegant evil steals what's left. His depiction of Satan or the Anti-Christ or "whatever" people like to call him( according to him) isn't short of extrodinary. He gives the old silver screen appeal. With his mesmerizing speeches he reaches out and says, "I don't need special effects, just put the camera in front of me and sit back and enjoy." A true masterpiece, right out of the Brando-book. "Ahh, vanity, my boy. It's my favorite sin."

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: another good pacin performace, another typical reeves
Review: well the movie itself was rather weak and extremely spotty. the fact that reeves was asked to play the starring role is just horrifying, the man is possibly one of the worst actors out there. pacino on the other hand is very strong, and somebody said on a previuos post "for once" well obvoiusly they're not too familiar with methods of acting and the backlog of pacino, the man is probably the best in the business. be that as it may, the movie is still extremely bland, and because of reeves, very frustrating.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Devils Adovocate is a great movie...
Review: Al Pacino is great in this film. The role he plays as a modern day anti-christ could have been writen for him. As the plot unfolds you are thrown around with Keanu Reeves' charcter as he tries to cope with his job as a high flying lawyer in NY. (Pacino is his boss).

This movie has the best plot I have seen in a long time. The ending of the film is pure genius.

Summary: BRAVO!
Review: I reallu liked the story and the actors were really awesome. I know that some may not approve but I think that the actors and the director did a great job.It's a sort of religious thing but it's really sensible!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Sheer intensity mixed with senseless nutidy and nastiness
Review: This film had some great performances while at the same time had situations that were disgusting and uncalled for. Al Pacino, as he usually does, gave a great performance, while at the same time, left me grosed out and disgusted. This film had senseless digusting nutidy and gore. Al Pacino's performance was great, but because he made such a brilliant series like the Godfather, he could've picked a better movie that didn't have the disgusting violence, nudity, and gore.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a very good movie
Review: a very good movi

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: an okay thriller? Get rosemary's baby???
Review: i'm amazed by reading the reviews, an okay thriller...get rosemary's baby (and get bored?); i can't seem to understand what the problem is, this movie isn't slow moving, and is quite impressive. Al pacino for once is very good, so it needs to be said

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: an okay thriller
Review: The Devil's Advocate is a rather slow moving film. The movie's two and a half hour running time could have been shortened. The real problem with this movie is that the real suspense doesn't begin until the last thirty minutes. But when the tension arises, the movie becomes very suspenseful. It's pretty obvious that this film isn't meant to be an extremely thought provoking film (although it is). Another movie with a similar sort of feel is Fallen, which is more suspenseful with deeper meaning.
