Interesting Film that keeps you intrigued until the credits roll.

Rating: 8/10 (7 February 2010)

The devil's advocate is an interesting film in that it starts as a ordinary drama before becoming increasingly strange. It poses moral questions which can feel slightly pushed in your face like many American films and it certainly isn't subtle however it contains a great Al Pacino performance that builds the film up above what it would have been with a lesser actor. Keanu Reeves is a little boring here sometimes feeling a little off in his role but never nosedives into bad performance territory. The scrip works well and builds up to stranger and stranger events some of the dialogue also is done well. I am sure that many will not like the ending and many others will. I myself found it satisfying as the film was always leading up to a over the top conclusion and Al Pacino's look into the camera at the end was frankly awesome. So a good film if your willing to let some things fly and enjoy it for the slightly silly fun movie with a great character for Pacino.
