Review of The Devil's Advocate (1997) by Collin R — 17 Mar 2011

Easily one of the most multi dimensional movies of all time. I originally first saw this when I was young yet when your older you understand so much more of it and this movie is much better then I remember it.

main draw backs I didnt like is the bible references yet I guess its expected with the type of movie it is so there for didnt bother me to much since there are so many levels to this movie. it starts out as a court room drama with a heavy case that you cant help but get interested in due to the sheer nature of it and the challenges that lays ahead of Reeves character who by the way does his only good acting ever in this movie.

the accent is hard to take sometimes but its really not even noticeable most of the movie. as the movie goes on the things that happen to him (and the people he loves) become more and more corrupt in nature due to the take over of Pacino some of it sad yet as the power goes to his mind he has to make a choice what is best for him.

the ending is so well done yet the whole movie is of course. its just the scene at the end with Pacino n Reeves n Ivey is loaded with great quotes and really has alot of great points to go along with it.

in closing though this movie is great for anybody who likes courtroom movies, mystery movies, love movies, horror movies, or any movie where your constantly being tested to see if you know what really is happening.
