One of Keanus Best Film - Devil's Advocate review by CP Customer
Keanu Reeves has had some pretty crap films, well ok, not bad films, but this is really good. You have to watch it to believe it!

Psychological thriller - Devil's Advocate review by JD
Psychological thriller, not a common genre but a reasonable description. There are some good scary moments, some very uncomfortable scenes and some good drama. The plot twists and twists again. I thought Al Pacino acted his socks off but most of the rest were a little less than gripping. Most of it is moderately entrancing but you won't forget to blink.

The Devil's Donuts - Devil's Advocate review by AER
Keanu Reeves certainly puts his back into this film but Al Pacino throws it all away. This is The Firm retold with real demons, and not a lot of plot logic. Al Pacino overacts, Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron go for broke in the acting stakes and the ridiculous story of a prosecution lawyer who is recruited by the Devil's law firm in NYC is very daft. I saw it years ago on release at the cinema and hated it, somehow I needed reminded how bad it was. It was worse.
