The masterpiece of the 7th art

Rating: 10/10 (26 January 2014)

Honestly, The Devil's advocate is my very favorite movie ever. We get amazed by the performances of Charlize, Keanu, Jeffrey and specially the support characters played by Ruben Santiago and Chris Bauer. But the great point of this movie is the outstanding performance of Al Pacino, the most amazing Devil I've ever seen in the Movies. The story may be offensive for fanatic religious, once the religious focus is on the Devil's vision about the facts. However, it must be seen as a critic about the way we live, committing sins and expecting the heaven. About the special effects it's important to consider that the movie is from 1997 and Hackford took full advantage of the technology he had. The mix of the outstanding performances, the perfect continuation and originality of the script and the genial direction of Taylor Hackford makes this movie the masterpiece of the cinema.
