Must-see thriller

Rating: Null/10 (7 September 2009)

Keanu Reeves plays Kevin Lomax, a lawyer who's drawing attention due to his winning streak in court. He is then recruited by the world's most powerful law firm and Kevin and his wife Mary Ann,played by Charlize Teron, move to new york. The law firm offered to Kevin not only a great salary but a luxurious apartment in which the couple now lives.They struggle to adapt to their new lifestyle in New York and at some point Mary Ann starts to feel unease in this new life but Kevin is assigned several cases and pays less and less attention to his wife.Then strange events start to occur and all of them seem linked to enigmatic senior board member and Kevin's boss, John Milton,played by Al Pacino...I was pleasantly surprised with this movie and I enjoyed every minute of it.The movie turns out to be something different then you expect and has a dramatic change of tone towards the end.I advise to go into this movie with the least possible knowledge of the plot.Allow yourself to be surprised.Due the course of the movie you keep wondering if the movie is gonna go one way or the other and this unpredictability makes the movie a great experience.Keanu Reeves delivers a great performance, and so does Charlize Theron.Al Pacino was the star thought, he plays once again an over the top character and displays some of the finest acting I've seen.A must-see thriller.
8/10
