Kevin Lomax, a ruthless young Florida attorney that never lost a case, is recruited by the most powerful law firm in the world. In spite of his mother's disagreement, which compares New York City to Babylon, he accepts the offer and the money that comes along. But soon, his wife starts feeling homesick as she witnesses devilish apparitions. However, Kevin is sinking in his new cases and pays less and less attention to his wife. His boss and mentor, John Milton, seems to always know how to overcome every problem and that just freaks Kevin right off.

this was a really freaky movie! i loved it, it was so shocking and really unpredictable! had some great acting it in, from charlize, al, and keanu, made for some interesting moments! some really disturbing scenes in here, it really earns its r18 mark, and at times i had to peek behind my fingers. a real must watch, got a bit of a shock ending too!
Keanu Reeves as a small town attorney who can't seem to lose. He is recruited to a large New York firm and becomes a star as he seems to get all kinds of "bad" people off. One can immediately sense there is something not so ordinary with his boss (Al Pacino) who causes terror to Reeves' mother and seems to have sexy woman fawning over him. Not too long after joining the firm, Reeves catches one of the firm's top employees shredding questionable documents after hours and then Reeves' wife seems to go mad after a wierd dream.
One of Reeve's best performances with twists and turns to the end!
Keanu Reeves has been in quite a few decent movies (as well as some horrendous ones) and this is one of them. Of course Pacino avails himself superbly, but the main angle is on Reeves so that’s where the balance lies and yes he does it well. The movie is creepy at times but balanced with an intelligence that is subtle and weaved well into the story. I really enjoyed this one.
A young hotshot lawyer lands the job of his dreams for a high powered legal firm, but gradually comes to realise that his charismatic boss is none other than the devil and his soul is on the line. Very slick very silly and rather hollow its Hollywood trying to be deep but failing dysmally. Luckily Al Pacino is on hand to almost save the day.
