Amazon.com essential video:
Too old for Hamlet and too young for Lear--what's an ambitious actor to do? Play the Devil, of course. Jack Nicholson did it in The Witches of Eastwick; Robert De Niro did it in Angel Heart (as Louis Cyphre--get it?). In The Devil's Advocate Al Pacino takes his turn as the great Satan, and clearly relishes his chance to raise hell. He's a New York lawyer, of course, by the name of John Milton, who recruits a hotshot young Florida attorney (Keanu Reeves) to his firm and seduces him with tempting offers of power, sex, and money. Think of the story as a twist on John Grisham's The Firm, with the corporate evil made even more explicit. Reeves is wooden, and therefore doesn't seem to have much of a soul to lose, but he's really just our excuse to meet the devil. Pacino's the main attraction, gleefully showing off his--and the Antichrist's--chops at perpetrating menace and mayhem. The film was directed by Taylor Hackford (Against All Odds, Dolores Claiborne), who provides alternate-track commentary for the movie itself, plus a dozen deleted scenes. Also note: due to a settlement with artist Frederick Hart over the movie's use of a sculpture resembling his Ex Nihilo in Washington's National Cathedral, future releases of the film will be altered. --Jim Emerson

I thought George Reeves was dead. Besides, didn't he play Superman, not the Devil? And -- What's that? George Reeves isn't in the movie? It's *Keanu* Reeves?
... Oh.
Okay, but what's with Charlize Theron, the Devil doesn't chat her up? The Devil doesn't ask her to stand on a mirror? The Devil doesn't order out and ask her to play hide the salami? What kind of a loser of a Devil is this?
What? There's nothing in Aristotle's theory of dramatics that ... Read More

I always found this movie to be one of the best by Al and Keanu...It epitomises the never ending battle between good and evil and the Devil's never ending quest to fulfil the desires of this flesh ;)

Even though I disagree with the "moral of the story" contained in this film, this is an interesting legal thriller that keeps the viewer's interest despite a few tedious moments here and there. Keanu Reeves plays the role of a red-hot up-and-coming defense attorney living in Florida, who is recruited by a huge New York law firm. Reeves has never lost a case, and his new firm's clients have a propensity for getting into criminal trouble. Al Pacino plays the managing partner of the law firm who ... Read More
