Devil's Advocate review

For me, the impact that Al Pacino has on other actors is that they feel challenged, motivated to bring out the best in them. Keanu Reeves performance here is an indication that probably he was infected by Pacino's legendary skills. In any case, the casts here is solid, Charlize Theron's dramatic role here was good. The premise of the film was engaging, if it only had a better ending. The effects were impressive, score was sufficient and script made sense. Unfortunately, Devil's Advocate was not that scary, nor did it have any relevant thriller or dramatic sequences that would make you think. If it wasn't for the effects, acting, John Miltons character and twists, then it wouldn't be that interesting. For people into vanity, influence and aspirations in a negative manner, then your going to love this.
