The best Pacino role ever. Fabulous!

Rating: 10/10 (10 May 2012)

I must say this is my favorite Pacino movie. He OWNS it.
Al Pacino's sheer magnetism and almost super-natural innate charm, his imposing presence have never been so well used as in "Devil's Advocate". Clearly, he was born to play John Milton. Funny, seductive, menacing, Pacino steals the show from Keanu Reeves and everyone else, as expected.
There is a tension, a creepy vibe throughout the movie, thanks to a stylish and clever direction. There's a brief scene, of 2 minutes or so, when 6 characters are traveling together in an elevator. In these 2 minutes, every single character has something very interesting to do, and it's fascinating to watch those energies cross fire.
There's another scene where Al Pacino has a conversation with Charlize Theron about her haircut. That brief seduction scene is supreme because it's so well written and acted it turns into magic.
The script also has a sense of humor which is much appreciated. I never get tired of watching this movie, it's too entertaining.
