Rating: 8/10 (4 March 2000)

Introduction: The Devil's Advocate is an excellent horror film about a young successful lawyer who has never lost a case. Even when he knows his client is guilty, he always manages to turn things around so that it seems he is innocent. That makes him a good lawyer, but a bad person. When Kevin is offered a job at the world's best known law firm, he moves with his wife to New York. There he proves his reputation as reckless lawyer, but his success has a price. From the moment he meets John Milton, the head of the law firm, strange things happen to him and his wife. Their life slowly changes into a living hell.
Comment: this is, in my opinion a very controversial film. There will be some who will love it, and some who'll hate it. I belong to those who love it. Many people will find this hard to watch entirely, because of the amount of gore and nudity. Also, the movie is mean-spirited as a whole, some of the things people do in this film are simply very bad. However, viewers who understand that this is a movie about the devil, which means there will be some gory parts and sexuality, will love this movie. It is a very twisted and scary film, that not everyone will enjoy. But it's a thrilling and emotional roller coaster ride from beginning to end. I recommend it to horror fans.
