This could be Reeves best performance. Pacino does a swell job as well, but I couldn't take Theron's performance. The story is served well and the inclinations make sense (practicing law). In the end though, it is not good enough. |

A pretty twisted tale about the nature of evil and the choices people make. It's a solid film, if not the greatest ever. I like it well enough. |

Erie and frustrating to watch in a good way. The movie makes you question what is real and what is reality which is the makings of a good thriller. |

Al Pacino's Satan in at #51! |
|
How many actors are there who could play Satan to such perfection? Al Pacino does no less than a superb job portraying John Milton, a man of power, women and money living in a world with no guilt. A great moment in cinema when he makes his final speech to Kevin Lomax (Keanu Reeves). But his acting only the icing on the cake of a brilliant film. The script also deserves mention for portraying the devil not as a bloodthirsty monster but as a being of temptation and desire. While not really being a drama but not really being a thriller either, you truly feel for the characters but are put on the edge of your seat at the same time, the second half of this movie will hold you in constant suspense. The nudity and violence are a bit gratuitous but never for their own sake, everything you see is ... |

Pacino's performance makes it worth a Watch |
|
The main reason to watch this film is for Al Pacino's powerhouse performance as Satan, it gave me chills, the story is solid and has some good twists in it and the effects are phenomenal. The only thing I can really say didn't work is Keanu Reeve's dull and unexplainably bad performance. As a horror fan I think it is a worthy film and worth a watch but rating it as a film on a whole I wasn't that impressed. The story has just been done to many times and frankly I think it is getting old, a better film to watch dealing with this topic is The Omen with Gregory Peck. Well I said my piece. |

Satan is Happy |
|
After recently watching a few movies that had some story plot involving Satan trying for a spawn, I have to say that this one is the best. I really like the whole setting of the judicial system against the backround of the grimy scum of corporate New York. I also like the way the story unravels itself and builds up to the great ending. Worth watching for these reasons and Al Pacino as Satan. |
