The most accurate depiction of Satan in a movie to date.

Rating: 9/10 (11 January 2000)

While this movie does depict graphic violence and nudity and is generally disturbing, it is important to note that this is the most accurate depiction of Satan I have ever seen. After watching this movie you might feel the need to RUN to church or just generally feel a little unclean, but for anyone wondering about what Satan is really like, this is a must see. Pacino is his usual brilliant self, depicting John Milton (no, not the author, but very appropriate for those familiar with Milton's writings). Keanu Reeves actually performs very well in his role as Kevin Lomax and shows that even the most ambitious people have their limits. Finally, Charlize Theron delivers a break-out performance as Mary Ann Lomax, Keanu's wife. She quickly thrust herself onto the scene as the sceptical wife. Overall, this is a very good movie, well made, well acted, and very well directed. For those who have a stomach for strong violence/sex or for anyone who has any curiosity of who Satan is and how he acts this movie is a must see.
