Rating: 8/10 (5 January 2006)

This is great fun all the way, I didn't care for the ending too much, but this is a very solid film, with two amazing performances from Al Pacino and Keanu Reeves. All the characters are cool, and the story is pretty good, plus Al Pacino and Keanu Reeves are simply amazing in this!. It does run a little too long,and I wish they would have kept the ending where Kevin rejects Satan instead of the typical predictable ending, however those are minor things as I really enjoyed this movie, plus I must give credit to Charlize Theron as well she gave a fantastic performance!. Reeves and Theron had very good chemistry together, and some moments really surprised me, plus all the characters were extremely likable. It actually has a couple of pretty creepy scenes, and Pacino is wonderfully OTT, plus this is one of Keanu's best performances in his career!. It's very well made and written, and this movie gets surprisingly bloody at times! plus Connie Nielsen is great and super sexy in this!. This is great fun all the way, I didn't care for the ending too much, however this is a very solid film with 2 amazing performances from Al Pacino and Keanu Reeves, I highly recommend this one!. The Direction is very good!. Taylor Hackford does a very good! job here with excellent camera work, good angles and keeping the film at a fast pace. The Acting is wonderful!. Al Pacino is amazing as always and is amazing here, he hams it up big time and is totally OTT, and I absolutely loved it, he was so much fun to watch, and really seemed to be enjoying himself, he also had some wonderful lines, and played one of his coolest characters!, I loved him!. (Pacino Rules!!!!!). Keanu Reeves is also amazing as always and is amazing here, he gives one of his absolute best performances, had very good chemistry with Charlize Theron, is fantastic in the acting department, was on top of things, was very believable and had plenty of charisma to spare! (Reeves!!!!!!!). Charlize Theron is stunningly gorgeous and is fantastic here,she played a cool emotional character had very good chemistry with Reeves, and while it may be dwarfed now due to her incredible performances in her recent Oscar worthy films I still consider this to be a fantastic performance! (Theron Rules!!!!). Connie Nielsen is extremely sexy and did very good with what she had to do I really liked her. Judith Ivey is great as Kevin Lomax's mom, and was quite intense at times I liked her. Craig T. Nelson is fantastic in his small role, and while he didn't have much to do, his great screen presence was always felt. Jeffrey Jones is good as Eddie. Rest of the cast do fine. Overall I highly recommend this one!. ***1/2 out of 5
