WOW! What a movie

Rating: Null/10 (11 July 2000)

This the kind of movies that I would describe as 'Intelligent'. I prepared myself to leave the theater with the impression of a déjà-vu: a classical Faust-like story about a covenant with the Devil, but the last minute of the film changes everything and makes the movie really interesting. A few questions remain unanswered: Would a lawyer sell his soul? Why did the Devil choose to head a law firm? Is there a similarity between the two (Devil and Lawyer)? Does this mean that lawyers are Evil? The film tries to give an answer but it didn't convince me. Maybe the script writers were too diplomatic ;-D Al Pacino is superb, Keanu Reeves is snobbish, Charlize Theron is, well ... (no comments). A point in its favor: the movie handles the subject without any exaggerated special effects. The film features Senator D'Amato playing himself. I recommend that you go see the movie. Make sure to stay until the last minute.
