Thank God For Pacino

Rating: Null/10 (27 October 1999)

Alright, lets be reasonable here. The movie's not that bad, it's entertaining and fun to watch, but it's not a >great< film. As far as suspense and thrillers go nowadays, "Devil's Advocate" is pretty run-of-the-mill. While I think it's a great concept, the movie's hindered by a flashy script, overdone special fx, and too many stale cliches to keep me intrigued. However, it's probably worth watching just for Pacino's incredible monologue at the climax. . He saved this movie from being just another basic cookiecutter thriller that Hollywood is cranking out one after another. Thank God for Al, where would we be without him?
