| The Most Underrated Film of the '90s (by boognish-6) |
| The reviews for "The Devil's Advocate" were not too kind, to say the least. But what did the critics refuse to see in this? With movies nowadays being nothing but flashy, over-the-top, masturbatory, CG-fests, "The Devil's Advocate" holds up like osmium.The cinematography is good because it's quite understated and that's a virtue in today's cinema. The acting, while containing pretty lame Southern accents, is still pretty good. Even from Keanu, dude.Sorely forgotten in it's day, the script tells a very deep, original and interesting story, with lots <more> |
| Prepare to be gobsmacked! (by ringbearer87) |
| What a surprisingly rewarding film. I have not watched a film that is so engaging for a long while. I had never even heard of the film before and only saw it by chance on the shelf at the video store. I am glad I picked it up as I enjoyed every minute of it. The Devil's advocate is heavy viewing, it is not a light cinema experience, yet it is rewarding in it's heaviness. It is very clever depicting the devil realistically and giving a totally truthful example of how people can un-knowingly be sucked in by evil. The film though dealing with a unrealistic concept is totally believable <more> |

| You mean, Keanu Reeves can act? (by Smells_Like_Cheese) |
| Wow, I am amazed. He actually has some talent. No offense, Keanu. Very rarely do I see a great performance by him. "The Devil's Advocate" is a great movie. I was a little surprised that the rating wasn't a little higher. After all, it has a great all star cast that gave their best in the movie. The effects are awesome; and the plot is beyond incredable. Except, I always had an idea that lawyers work for the devil. :D Just kidding! I would recommend this movie to anyone. It has great acting and it's just a kick @ss movie to watch. 9/10 |
| All Quality Elements of a Magnificent Movie!!! (by EdwardsMovieKit) |
| I watched this movie on DVD. It will be enough for me to mention that there had been no other movie where I'd had to pause the play in mere awe at the magnificence of the storyline! At a point, It was as if I could see my jaw on the floor praising in thorough amusement the brilliance, relevance-to-our-daily-lives, deepness of message, sophistication, great portrayal, top-of-the-class creativity, marvelous acting/directing/screen writing all having come together in a movie, which called for a rating of 9 out of 10 and no less, certainly, undoubtedly.Al-Pacino's acting is to no surprise <more> |
| A beguiling experience (by ereinion) |
| This is one of the most intensely dark and beguiling movies I have seen. The purpose behind it is to create a moral drama about the fight between good and evil in a man, or the devil's everlasting quest to conquer man's soul. In retrospective, there are few movies I've seen that bring out such strong feelings in me. Specially the first hour. We follow a young couple, played by Reeves and Theron in her first big picture, who move to New York from the south when he is given a job as attorney in one of the biggest firms in the country. We see the change come in Kevin as he is <more> |
| Keanu gets a devil of a job. (by BA_Harrison) |
| Hot-shot Floridian defense attorney Kevin Lomax Keanu Reeves is head-hunted by New York's most powerful law firm, unaware that his new boss Al Pacino is The Devil.For The Devil's Advocate, director Taylor Hackford breathes fresh life into several well-worn satanic horror themes, skillfully weaving them into a slick, big-budget horror/thriller that delivers on many levels: it's smartly written, sexy, intelligent, and well-acted, with a particularly fine, lip-smacking performance from Pacino, who owns every scene he is in. Above all else, though, The Devil's Advocate is <more> |
| What makes this movie very disturbing at the same time makes it amazing (by DVR_Brale) |
| Evil promises everything but gives away nothing. This quote, which I like very much, sums up the point of The Devil's Advocate.In this movie skillful lawyer goes to New York to pursue career of his dreams. He makes many compromises with his conscience on the way and even starts to neglect his romantic relationship.It's really unbelievable that this movie isn't more popular than it is. It's got all the elements of a serious, adult thriller. It is true, however, that this is a very disturbing portrayal of someones life going down the spiral. What makes this movie great, makes <more> |
| Thrilling and well done. (by Peach-2) |
| Taylor Hackford has a sure hand as a director and I liked what he did with this story. This film could have just been a rehash of everything else that has ever been made by Hollywood concerning the subject of religon as entertainment. There is a lot of nudity in this picture, but I think it is warranted. I mean the devil deals with matters of the flesh in this film. The nudity, sex and violence are all tastefully done and never exploitive. Al Pacino plays Satan with calm and confidence. Keanu Reeves holds his own with Pacino and puts forth one of his best performances. This film isn't <more> |
