Giving the Devil his due

Rating: 10/10 (15 August 2006)

So many films have been made showing the Devil in so many different forms that it was nice to see Pacino as just another human. Of course, this isn't the first time that the Devil has been portrayed as just a man, Ray Milland did a wonderful and sinister turn in Alias Nick Beal and Walter Huston played the role with abandoned glee in The Devil and Daniel Webster. Even Ray Walston did a merry turn in Dam Yankees. But it took Pacino to really ham it up and make us enjoy every minute of it. Since I really don't believe in "the devil" I just enjoyed the story and Pacino and even Theron, I just wish she had done something! with her first name. It's a nice fantasy, and yes, vanity is by far my favorite sin. :)
