Hammy but enjoyable Pacino in camp thriller

Rating: Null/10 (24 February 2009)

'The Devil's Advocate' is a camp thriller that entertains despite going way over the top. Al Pacino plays the devil and gives a hammy scenery-chewing performance that will leave you in splits. He isn't the least bit scary as Satan but is very watchable. Keanu Reeves is alright. Charlize Theron impresses in a brief role as the tormented wife. The film has a moral to deliver about pride and does so in style. The camera work is sometimes annoying and the ending makes little sense. Still the whole thing is perfectly watchable. Note - there is a lot of profanity.
Overall 7/10
