The Devil's Advocate

I've often felt if John Grisham had written THE OMEN this is what it would have turned out like. The devil is on Earth (he just happens to be Al Pacino, go figure) and he's in the legal business. Enter Keanu Reeves as a small town lawyer who has never lost a case. Snatch him and Charlize Theron up and bring 'em to New York and let the party begin. Fast, tight directing from Taylor Hackford who would a couple years later win an Oscar for RAY and perfect casting all around make THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE a fine little scary and sexy number.
