  • Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven. Those iconic words come from John Milton’s classic work Paradise Lost. Milton also happens to be the name of Al Pacino’s character in 1997’s horror drama, THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE. Directed by Taylor Hackford, THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE is one of the most underrated films in the careers of Pacino and Keanu Reeves as well as an early treat in the careers of both Charlize Theron and Connie Nielsen. A modest box office hit grossing $153 million against a $53 million budget, coming in second during its opening weekend to I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER. THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE holds a mediocre 63% on Rotten Tomatoes yet consistently ranks as one of the best performances in Al Pacino’s illustrious career.
    Despite the film's cult status, it's often neglected when discussed in the context of Al Pacino or Keanu Reeves' careers, or as an important stepping stone to the big time for Charlize Theron. That's why THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE is this week's Best Movie You Never Saw!

      It really does capture an unsettling, "nobody's coming to save you" intensity through the whole movie. Like there are a bunch of invisible timers running, but the characters only ever realize it once it's juuuust too late. A wonderful example of suspense done right. The only thing that throws me off in this film (and I'm sure he's getting to it. I'm only 2 mins into the video), is that accent

His character is diverse and exceptional. The volume of his acting actually terrified me as a teenager. I had to watch this movie several times over the years to calm my curiosity or need that the good always wins. Can also remember some disturbing sequences and plot twists that made me loose some sleep.

    I've watched the Devil's Advocate a dozen times; each time I found a different aspect to a character or their line of thinking that has subtext that isn't readily apparent. Every actor and actress in this movie is excellent and believable for the role. It is well photographed; it's pacing is constant- the climactic scene of Pacino as John Milton is a tour de force. Pacino makes the case for Satan, a sophistry of unmitigated gall and self aggrandizement that exemplifies the mendacity of Pride. So vain, so self congratulatory, he punches every button of human ambition and excess. Believe it or not, as a Christian, I became more aware of the trickery of the Devil in Milton's speech. Understanding that level of cunning has given me ideas on how to safeguard myself from the rationalized temptations of our world. The Devil's Advocate is a singular film, there is nothing quite like it. It is smart, it is emotional in way that most people can understand. The opening gives no hint of the ride the viewer is about to take, a ride that once they finish, they will never forget.

      @riseagainstthemachine6079 2 года назад

      I hardly disagree to be honest.
      I love Al Pacino in the movie. At the same time I think it is one of many examples about Keanu Reeves being a "just good enough" actor, instead of a good actor.
      I would need to research the name of the main cast female actor, I actually think she did very well.
      The plot is not complex at all. It tries to surprise you, still no one ever gets surprised by this movie. Its hard to get invested in the main character, because he developes so fast and never really does anything good to annother person.
      (Oh and the final is just straight up trash, time travel is a complex thing and way too complex for the makers of this movie)
      The wordplay with things that are connected to the old testament and spirituality is sometimes good. Most of the times it's not only far away from modern christianity, but it's also just too much and too forced. The good parts would have a way better effects, if they didnt feel like common but still forced speech.
      The way they represent sins and how humans can embrace those is actually not bad. Definitely not masterclass, but its fitting and often entertaining.
      So all in all I would call it a bad movie. Everything that is good gets boring and meaningless by pushing it too far. Everything that is bad is not bad enough to feel like entertaining trash.
      Still I'll recommend it to anyone. Al Pacino with one of his best performances is always watchable.

      @@SomeoneIsAlwaysMovingOnTheSurf And it works especially well considering that, for a good while even after the reveal, it's still left kind of ambiguous as to whether something supernatural is actually going on, or whether the things Marianne was seeing were just in her head as a combination of extreme anxiety from being all alone all day in an apartment way too big for just herself in a new city where she doesn't have any real friends, and her strong, unfulfilled desire to have a baby.
      It's only really until much later in the film when we are finally, truly shown that, yes, there ABSOLUTELY ARE supernatural occurrences going on with Milton as the epicenter. And I think all of that just makes the film's pacing and atmosphere work SOOOO well, and it's definitely one of those movies that's even better the second time around, watching through again with all the knowledge gained from the first viewing helping to catch things you didn't/couldn't the first time. (Angel Heart is a fairly similar film in that regard, featuring the equally legendary Robert De Niro as the man revealed to be Satan himself at the end just like Pacino in The Devil's Advocate. Definitely give that a watch too!)

      The critics can often be more concerned with the 'art' of a film than the whole of it, while the audience can get caught in the nostalgia and even the socio-politics of the film, the cast, the studio. These can lead to an unwarranted positive, or negative

      The USA Mr Bean movie sucked. Especially that unnecessary and super annoying American family that was tacked on to appeal to American rubes that won’t see any film that doesn’t pander to them. Go watch the original Mr Bean shorts from the UK series and get back to us.

    The Devils Advocate was a bit shocking when it came out. Not just because of the supernatural twist that wasn't hinted at in the marketing but the sheer volume of full frontal nudity. It was unusual for a big budget thriller.

I love the subway scene, never fails to crack me up; not only because of Pacino's broken Spanish, but also because the scene itself is kinda funny (in a darkly humorous way). Indeed great overall performance by Pacino.

I even confessed to my schools priest and asked for forgiveness because I feared I'll end up like Charlize Theron.

Usually just being in math class was enough to piss me off without out idiots salivating over a verdict.
