 | My husband and his entire family are extras in the church scene, during breaks Keanu would come and play guitar and bass with my husband and his brothers, he even signed my husbands bass. ANYWAY, i liked this movie i didnt LOVE it, it was okay. I dont think keanu has alot of range as an actor, and al pacino was a little over the top. |

| Suffice it to say that the longer I watched this film, the sorrier I became that I was wasting 2 hours of my life watching it. |

| The acting was ok, and it had its good moments, but I must be the only person here who thought it was dragged out and boring. |
| Rating | | | Date | May 26, 2005 | | Summary | Al Pacino screaming | Content
| There is no less than one scene of Al Pacino screaming with fireballs behind him. They probably have 20 minutes worth of footage of that alone.
Devil's Advocate, of course, is the film that depicts Satan as a New York lawyer and the good 'ol boy from the South as a the ambitious next-demon-to-be. Keanu Reeves concentrates on delivering lines as he portrays Kevin, the tough defense lawyer from Florida who's never lost a case. He's lured up to NYC by Al Pacino's evil law firm, which is staffed by a variety of demons who are also top lawyers. The firm is involved 'in everything', so therefore, we can safely assume it's sufficiently evil.
Pacino plays Satan with his usual gusto, a tad paler with some makeup so he sometimes looks half-dead, and to top it off we get a complete monologue by Satan, a veritable defense of his actions. The full cynicism of the writers and Hollywood in general seeps through as Al booms on God, about man, and then, moments later when his plans backfire, he starts screaming and the room blows up and...
Cheesy, but completely watchable for Al's dedication with extra ham, and for the general effort of making a film about Satan being a New York lawyer. |
