The Devil's Advocate

Kept lookin at this movie for the longest time like damn this is prob a classic, gotta watch it eventually. Plus young Keanu Reeves seduced me, I was like omg I need to see this. Also at the time I was kinda obsessed with lawyers n all that legal stuff so that pushed me to finally check it out Watched it n honestly I liked it. Kevin Lomax was cool, like a total slimeball but in an interesting way. It was shot well too even tho the naked chicks turning into gargoyles was gross, I hate when movies do that shit. John Milton being literally Kevin's dad was a lil weird but kinda expected tbh The ending where he's back in the courthouse bathroom n the devil's basically warning him, that whole speech about vanity n all that, that was actually really cool. The line about his favorite sin, like what was it, vanity or whatever, that stuck with me Milton was played perfectly, like genuinely incredible. That dude owned the role But some parts felt way too theatrical n unnatural, especially those scenes with the women. Just made me uncomfortable Anyway after the movie I went n bought the book it was based on. Turned out the movie's completely different from the book. Like in the movie Kevin kinda gets redemption, like everything was just a warning n nothing actually happened. In the book tho, it's his wife who goes crazy, not him. And the ending's way darker, he ends up in prison n Satan's still there messin with him, like there's no escape Also the title The Devil's Advocate isn't about Kevin at all, it's about John Milton. The book's a whole different vibe Honestly I recommend both. The movie's solid on its own n the book's totally worth reading too. Interesting to see how different they are
