The Devil's Advocate Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
At half its present length it might make an OK midnight camp item.
CNN.com
Paul Tatara
You don't care about any of the characters, so there's no fear of something nasty happening to them, and, with the exception of Pacino (who plays the devil himself), it's terribly miscast.
Baltimore Sun
Ann Hornaday
Pacino's gleeful performance notwithstanding, "The Devil's Advocate" descends into silly self-indulgence when it should have gone straight to hell.
Christian Science Monitor
David Sterritt
Al Pacino and Keanu Reeves attack their roles with gusto.
Cinema-stache
Rob Vaux
Critics called it out for its melodramatic tone, but the theatrics are far more feature than bug, and the participants seem just aware enough of the overheated material to wink without upending the whole apple cart.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Couldn't be more ridiculous.
Common Sense Media
Andrea Beach
Violence, sex, profanity dominate graphic temptation tale.
Cinema Crazed
Felix Vasquez Jr.
Far too bland and mediocre to really pull off such heavy handed themes...
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
You go in expecting a brazenly hokey, in-your-face portrait of evil, and that, I'm happy to say, is just what you get.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Stylishly seductive and well-acted by Al Pacino and Keanu Reeves, but thematically flawed, Taylor Hackford's film is yet another version of the Faustian morality tale.
Variety
Todd McCarthy
A fairly entertaining supernatural potboiler that finally bubbles over with a nearly operatic sense of absurdity and excess.
Washington Post
Stephen Hunter
"Devil's Advocate" is "The Firm" meets "Rosemary's Baby," with a good deal more wit than either John Grisham or Ira Levin managed on their own.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
The movie's greatest strength is that it becomes more complex and rewarding as it goes along.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Although it's nice for a film to be ambitious, there is such a thing as overreaching.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Rarely do we actually encounter such a brazen example of the 'so bad it's good' genre of filmmaking.
USA Today
Mike Clark
As the movie approaches 2 1/4 hours, it begins feeling like eternal damnation.
Salon.com
Charles Taylor
The picture starts off slick and amusing, gets convoluted, draggy and strange round about the midway point, and ends up just plain ludicrous.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The movie never fully engaged me; my mind raced ahead of the plot, and the John Grisham stuff clashed with the Exorcist stuff.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
Lurid advance ads for Devil's Advocate make it look ridiculous. It's not.
