Well crafted, wicked & sexy

Rating: 8/10 (9 August 1999)

This is a very enjoyable film. There was so much in this film, that you could really discuss it for hours. Al Pacino steals the show in his portrayal of the devil, what a powerful performance! Keanu Reeves is good, but less effective- he gets a lot better in the last 45 minutes of the film though. What really surprised me was how good Charlize Theron was, in a part designed for someone to look sexy- she did one hell of a great job. There are so many admirable things in this movie, and the whole concept was very intriguing. But what was with the ending?, after the previous two hours it was a slight disappointment, but I suppose its easy to see how it will all turn out in the end. Its all about cause and effect, so the wheels will keep turning round and round.
