A deep and intense film

Rating: 9/10 (15 November 2005)

Really shows lawyers to be the scum of the earth. Simply put it doesn't matter if you're guilty or not all that matters is if you can get off or not and how good your lawyer is.
The films imagery, the beasts within that pop up, is absolutely fantastic. It is a story so it should be taken as that. The meaning is obvious but not literal.
Al Pacino is simply one of the best actors from the 70's onwards and no one else could have done the character of John Milton better. Most of Pacino's stuff makes for great watching and this is top notch. Even Keanu (dude) Reeves makes a decent stab at acting and pretty much pulls it off.
Watch it. Should be top 250!
