Devil's Advocate (1997)

Rate: 4
Viewed: 7/05

7/05: Devil's Advocate is marred by inconsistent acting and erratic plot.

There's not much of improvement on the well-known play Doctor Faustus by Christopher Marlowe. Characters disappear one by one over time.

Charlize Theron, although audacious, injures the film the most by playing a poor character. Keanu Reeves looks right, but his performance is sometimes rendered ineffective, thanks to Al Pacino's hammy behavior.

All in all, Devil's Advocate doesn't work.
