The Devil's Advocate (1997)



The Devil's Advocate is an american horror film directed by Taylor Hackford.starring Keanu ReevesAl Pacino and Charlize Theron, and based on a novel by Andrew Neiderman.
Kevin Lomax, a young and succesful Lawyer who works as accident car florida lawyer, is defending a case of child molestation in Florida and later another as a new york personal injury lawyer. He has never lost a case, and this one is another win for him. During his celebration, he is approached by Milton, the CEO of an important law firm, who offers a large sum of money to help the firm with a jury selection. Recognising Kevin's skills, Milton offers him an important salary and an apartment if he decides to join that big law firm. 


In his new job, he becomes the defense of many different people, for example: orlando criminal attorney, a case of adverse remortgage, he works as a criminal defense attorney los angeles while he has to make difficult decisions between good and evil, to continue with his great career and also taking care of his family.




The film's title is a reference to the common phrase "devil's advocate", and Pacino's character is named after the author of Paradise LostJohn Milton. The movie has some minor allusions to Milton's epic, such as the famous quotation "Better to reign in Hell, than to serve in Heaven".


Great movie, the plot is awesome, that's one of the movies in which you can move away from the TV. Totally recommended to think about what is really important in our lives after all.

  16. One of the main complaints about this movie is apparently Al Pacino's acting, who is... (un?)intentionally mocking his acting in The Scent of a Woman - one of his best performances ever. With Devil's Advocate - be prepared for a surprising ending ;)
