The Devil's Advocate
The cool thing about the Devil being your lawyer is that: depending on your body count, he may just work pro bono.
Fortunately, the defense lawyer in this horror movie is not Satanhis boss is.
While defending an accused pedophile, small-town attorney Kevin (Keanu Reeves) is approached by the prestigious law firm Milton, Chadwick and Waters.
Accepting their generous offer, Kevin and his wife (Charlize Theron) move to Manhattan, where he shines in the courtroom, but not on the home front.
With his marriage strained, his firm under investigation and lawyers turning up dead, Kevin approaches one of the partners, John Milton (Al Pacino), who reveals to him the demonic nature of the company and his part in it.
A courtroom drama and supernatural thriller hybrid, The Devil's Advocate does an adequate job of representing both genres.
However, everyone knows that the real Devil in the courtroom is the stenographer. (Yellow Light)
