"Good, Seductive Thriller!"

Rating: 6/10 (30 September 2014)

Keanu Reeves, Al Pacino, Charlize Theron, Jeffrey Jones, Judith Ivey, Connie Nielsen and Craig T. Nelson star in this 1997 thriller based on the novel. Reeves (Point Break) plays Kevin Lomax, an ambitious, southern Lawyer who moves to New York with his wife, Mary Ann (Theron) after he gets a job at a law firm. Pacino (Scarface) plays John Milton, his mysterious, new boss who coaches him. Soon, things not only become difficult and confusing for Kevin, but he's also tempted while Mary Ann starts getting scared and victimized. Kevin eventually learns that there's more to his job and Milton. Jones (Beetlejuice) plays lawyer, Eddie Barzoon who works for Milton, Ivey plays Kevin's religious mother, Alice, Nielsen (Gladiator) plays attractive executive, Christabella Andreoli who works for Milton and Nelson (Poltergeist) plays wealthy businessman, Alex Cullen who is accused of murder. This is a good, seductive thriller with a good cast (especially Pacino), good score & neat effects. I recommend this.
