Keith B @Okbullard 1d This was such an engaging film that was very dark. Al Pacino was outstanding as usual and stole every scene. It's definitely worth the watch. See more James A @ablett001 5d This is by far Keanu Reeves' strongest acting performance of his career. He is in good company with Pacino, whilst Theron is also outstanding as the troubled wife in this brilliantly cool and captivating story. It's refreshing to see a film stand the test of time by relying simply on great acting performances, a story with a few twists and turns and some powerfully shot scenes. This film has absolutely stood the test of time and looks as good now as it did 30 years ago. See more Jimmy A @JimmyAblett 5d This is by far Keanu Reeves' strongest acting performance of his career.

But at the end of the day, I prefer Keanu as Constantine - kicking demon butt. Spooky stuff. See more Leo Z @zrlx.04 May 20 A poignant and morally reflective story upheld by a scarily impressive performance by Pacino and Reeves, only to be interrupted occasionally by the overly comical CGI and animations. With the supernatural initially as an implied but not abundantly stated plot point, The Devil’s Advocate represented the driving force that is human greed brilliantly. The initial usage of computer generated imagery were scarce and selective, serving as only plot devices to insert the ominous concept of demons. However, some time around the midpoint-ending of the film, the CGI became so abundant that it’s distractive against arguably one of the best performances by both Pacino and Reeves. What could have been a tastefully implied shot that achieves the same message with framing and dialogue was instead represented by over exaggerated, in-your-face animations that did not age well with technological advances in film.

They just felt stuck in, There is evil in this veil of tears but I don't see it as portrayed in the movie. A typical old style stereotype Hollywood ending. See more Read all reviews
