Then Constantine after

No Shop Talk! ;)

wonderful acting by Pacino, Reeves& Theron who actually tears up, so many do not truly cry.Recommend.

Al Pacino is a consummate master of his craft and Keanu Reeves always delivers a solid and thoroughly enjoyable performance.The Diabolical premise is old as the hills, but this particular plot is a brilliant departure from the usual Faustian bargain theme.The script dispenses with the moth eaten, morality play approach and brings it into the late 20th century for a much needed and spectacular makeover; one that would even make a fashion runway model envious.The extensive filming in Manhattan and the very gifted supporting cast are skillfully utilized to convey a realistic and accurate glimpse into the life and politics of the Big Apple or any major city around the globe.Unfortunately, I had issues with the portrayal of Reeve's wife; also an attorney, although of a lesser caliber.It's not uncommon for some wives to adjust to life in "the big city" wherever that may be; when their ambitious husband is promoted by his company to a lofty position that requires a disruptive uprooting of the family.This is the first time I've been disappointed by Charlize Theron because her character is scripted to behave more like a very sheltered soccer mom rather than a tough, seasoned lawyer with razor sharp smarts . It is the latter assessment that is a more accurate and palatable description of Ms. Theron's approach to acting; and I suspect her private personality as well.I prefer to fault the director for Ms. Theron's highly erratic and episodic portrayal of an unsophisticated wife behaving like an emotionally unstable and naive "innocent" who fell off a turnip truck who cries and complains incessantly about being abandoned; it's absolutely horrendous.Pacino in his role of the "Fallen One" presents the idea that ".....vanity is my favorite vice."I think that's questionable and highly subjective; however we must remember that this commentary is based on a centuries old depiction of Moses descending from a mountain with stone tablets; it is a tad cliche.The film is a voyeurs dream come true and feeds the audience with never ending depictions of life at the pinnacle of Le Haute Monde that are in themselves enticing and enviable as they are sumptuous.This is "The Devil Wears Prada" on a life threatening overdose of illegal steroids.Pacino delivers an astounding and mind blowing monologue near the end of the film that in itself qualifies as a reason to watch this amazing film. Mr. Pacino's performance convinces you that the Prince of Darkness is capable of making the infamous attorney Roy Cohn in Tony Kushner's "Angels in America" (HBO movie version) a siren of sublime delight. Ironically, the role of attorney Cohn is also played by Al Pacino which is an amusing irony to say the least.How many actors can boast that they can be compared to and be outdone by themselves. Think about that one.

Good movie

It's a great movie, scary in places.

I love movie!

Devil's Advocate in my opinion is a fantastic movie. It has everything you ask in a movie. Great storyline, great actors and keeps you want to watch it. If you can watch a movie more than three times it means it has passed the time test and its a must own on any format. Al Pacino as always an amazing performance. Keanu Reeves does a good job as well. Not Al Pacino's impression but good. Charlize Theron plays her part very well and my oh my she is a beauty. Simply stunning. All fit in their characters. I wont go to the story as most probably know that and is better to watch it. I got the Unrated Director's Cut blu ray and really happy with the picture quality. Luckily it plays on my Region B UK blu ray. I had my doubts before buying as a US Import but all good and played just fine no problems. I cant recommend this movie enough. Just get it.

I wanted to have a Sandra Bullock film watching session so ordered this and got 2 extra films with it.I thoroughly enjoyed all films and was extra pleased with the reduced price tag.Dream catcher was a surprise.It sort of morphed into quite a scary film.
