An enjoyment to watch

Rating: 8/10 (19 April 2006)

I appreciate this film differs slightly from the book,and normally,I prefer the book.
However,Al Pacino changes all that.If you want to see an actor enjoy his work,watch this.I am taking nothing away from Keanu Reeves,but he needn't show up for this film,Al Pacino could carry it by himself.The man has the most amazing presence on screen,and I can think of no one who would play a better Devil.
For those of you who have read the book,but not seen the film-The plot is roughly the same.Undefeated lawyer Kevin Lomax(Reeves) is invited to work for a top firm in New York,where he is taken under the wing of the charismatic John Milton(Pacino),who soon reveals himself in all his glory.
Charlize Theron adds beauty to this film,and is 100% convincing as Reeves'loving wife.
If you want to learn how to drag a potentially disastrous film to the top single-handedly...watch Al Pacino in this,who knows-you may grow to like Keanu Reeves more,for the fact he tries his best to keep up with the master.
Enjoy The Film
