The Devil Inside...

Rating: Null/10 (12 April 2012)

Although the title of the movie pretty much reveals the story of this masterpiece, I must say that this approach to the subject is much more frightening than the visually stunning (not to say that this one isn't in its own way) and yet emotionless movies. We either get a Devil who is a scary monster, or some sort of force, but we never get a person who is actually allowed to make its case as Al Pacino does so beautifully (one of the best speeches in movie history). This movie is like a musical, but instead of music we have intriguing and thought-provoking script and instead of dancing we have awesome cinematography and camera-work portraying beautiful acting. Although it seems that Keanu isn't capable of any demanding roles (I guess that he will always be Ted) here he was acceptable, with almighty Al Pacino overshadowing everyone. This movie is for everyone who enjoys the dark side, it takes us on a journey there and shows that it isn't so bad there, in fact maybe we don't need to go anywhere...
