The Devil’s Advocate Revisited – Update!

Many thanks to Ayako for tweeting the link!

Ryan Doom posted a piece on ‘The Test of Time: Devil’s Advocate‘ for JoBlo. It takes a look at the film, which was released in 1997, and looks at the story and what still holds up, and what blows now. Specifically about Keanu Reeves, Ryan Doom said:

He’s plays a good lawyer and he really shows all those temptations without a need for dialogue. Granted, most of those temptations come from the many nude women in the film, but still…he has some nice, small touches.

In closing, Doom says:

Thanks to Pacino and Reeves (and a naked Theron), Devil’s Advocate remains a hellva an entertaining film. A classic? No. Either of their top pictures? No. But it’s one of those flicks that’ll end up on both actors greatest hits. And there’s nothing wrong with that.

Here is a clip of Keanu observing a court case in Florida as part of his role preparation for the film. Clip is from my CK DVD #6.
