Very boring

Rating: 2/10 (15 June 2000)

And very dull. This movie takes a criminal amount of time to get going and when it finally does it doesn't really go anywhere. Keanu plays a top lawyer called Kevin Lomax and we get a clichéd plot about a rich man killing his family and a couple of "TV Movie" sub-plots.
But what we're supposed to be concentrating on is Keanu's descent into a conscience-free life and how he is giving up his morals just so he can win cases. Pretty melodramatic. There is ZERO humor in this movie. All movies need humor no matter what the tone. If not I just end up laughing AT it.
Devil's Advocate is NOT scary. A couple of scenes may be intense but it isn't scary in the slightest. The only reason for watching this is Al Pacino's outlandish and eccentric performance, but you have to wait 2 hours to get to that. Give this a miss. I give it 2/10.
