Almost a Perfect Movie! Excellent! Pacino is at his best

Rating: 9/10 (23 April 2007)

Excellent!, intelligent, absolutely well obtained; these feelings came out after i saw the movie; absolutely impressive as the story keeps going and you're forced to think and find out the meaning of the movie in an intelligent way, simply incredible. Pacino's acting is powerful, strong. I felt some of the great and young Pacino of the Godfather I and II coming back (this Pacino was hidden somewhere). The way that temptations are shown, heaven and hell mixed at the same place and the chance of choice between good and bad actions (like the Matrix problem..."choice"), and an intelligent story that has to be seen, without distracting, to reach the top of an extremely good script, is a total pleasure to the viewer.
About the Movie: Keanu Reeves plays Kevin Lomax (a name that suits well for the actor) an attorney from Florida that is well respected and who hasn't lost a case. He is the well respected and successful men that anyone want to be, with a lovely and beautiful wife Mary Ann (Charlize Theron), Lomax will to win all cases get him even to defend a guilty professor from child abuse charges. An important firm held at the big apple saw his success and decide to hire him as one of the main lawyers of the company. The firm ruled by John Milton (Al Pacino), put great and difficult cases to Kevin with important and wealthy clients; while, his wife start to feel depressed and empty with this luxurious life, but they are drawn into Milton's world deeply. The story evolves in an interesting an intelligent plot that will give answers to the name of the movie.
9/10!, the only thing that didn't liked me is that the plot is hard to understand sometimes and you can get lost easily in the script.
