Transcript of Featured Review

Hi my name is Mike and I'm here for another review. This time I'll be looking at The Devil's Advocate the widescreen DVD edition and this movie stars Al Pacino and Keanu Reeves. Keanu Reeves is the protagonist who plays a boy in the deep South who is successful at the countryside and wins a special case that he's not thinking he would and Al Pacino recruits him. Al Pacino is revealed to play Satan pretty early in the movie but he recruits him and Keanu Reeves begins working for him. But Keanu realizes that he might not be working the way he should so it's an excellent movie. I didn't really get it too much right after the first five minutes in the movie but it's definitely a very entertaining movie. It's very dramatic. Charlize Theron plays Keanu Reeves' wife and doesn't do that great of a job but it's still entertaining. It gets kind of strange towards the end so if you don't like any kind of science fiction kind of movies I would skip this. But it's very good drama kind of science fiction and a little bit of horror movie 'coz there are a few jumps to your neck. Overall it's very entertaining. It's about two and a half hours long so this is a pretty long movie but it's well worth it and definitely a pretty good movie a good date movie. So once again there are special features on this. There's some deleted scenes. There's director's commentary but they're not that great but if you're into that kind of stuff I suggest watching it. So once again this is The Devil's Advocate starring Keanu Reeves Al Pacino and Charlize Theron and you can get this down the stores for about $13.

Summary
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
