THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE (1997) | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION 

J: You can't be changing stuff now. We are an hour in. Al Pacino: Been telling you this whole time, you won't see it coming.

Keanu gave up his salary so they could afford to pay Al Pacino. Both are phenomenal ❤

I love that the Devil calls himself John Milton. Author of Paradise Lost

"The baby got a bowl cut get away". That had me rolling

Look but don’t touch. Touch but don’t taste. Taste don’t swallow. One of my favorite lines from a movie.

Insomnia is another stellar Pacino movie where he's an obsessive detective chasing another acting legend while driven insane by no sleep from Alaska's lack of night. It's also Nolan's first blockbuster

CONSTANTINE!!!!

"You f@ckin' Lannister" 🤣🤣🤣

“Vanity. Definitely my favorite sin.” 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

"The baby got a bowl cut get away from it!" Got me rolling!!

"Woah, my dad's the devil. Bogus!"

Al Pacino is one of the best Satans in movie history….definitely in my top 5….favorite quotes: “I’M A FAN OF MAN!!!” “Look, but don’t touch…touch but don’t taste…taste but don’t swallow…”& “vanity: my favorite sin” 😈

The African American woman in the apartment building was a regular on Law and Order Special Victims Unit

I’ve always liked this movie. It wasn’t as big as I had hoped it would be. Pacino is fantastic in it.

"Has there been other shit that uve missed" the guy who performed voodoo on his prosecutor then went and shook hands with Pacino 😂

The woman playing his half sister is also playing the sister of the dictator in the Gladiator.. she’s so pretty! ❤

One of my favorites of 90's, casting Al as Satan was a master stroke! And Charlize, she was *UNGODLY* slammin' during this period lol.

This is a flat out amazing movie. It is 2 hours or so of really intriguing build up for one of the greatest 15 minute finales ever put to film.

I actually shuddered when the one gal made that demon face. Was not expecting that.

You didn't recognize the redhead half-sister? That's Connie Nielsen, the female lead in "Gladiator". You loved that movie & she was so much a part of it I kept waiting for you to realize who she was.👀✨️

The Devil's Advocate is surreal, theatrical insanity at its finest!

This movie was so much more powerful than the respect it gets. So underrated. The filming... the scenes... the acting. In my opinion, it is one of Al Pacino's GREATEST roles.

Charlize Theron's performance was amazing, as always. Not being religious myself (anymore) I have a bit of a different perspective on Lucifer as a literary character. A very difficult character to portray well, but Pacino gives us one of the best versions, ever. He has that laid-back sense of not really giving a crap about any of the drama, because he doesn't. Knowledge is power, and the Devil knows almost everything. Pacino puts out that kind of energy every second he's on the screen.

the absolute DESTRUCTION of Charlize Theron is so insane in this movie, Ive never seen such a fall into insanity depicted this well in any media. and Al Pacino is the best devil ever. 12/10 under rated movie

"Long is the road and hard is the way that out of hell leads up to the light" - John Milton, Paradise lost

Don't get too cocky, my boy. No matter how good you are, don't ever let them see you coming.

I love the moment J realized the movie was about the devil and had demons. I felt the same way the 1st time seeing it.

"we an hr in! you cant do this to me like this man!" muhahahaha i knew this one would trip you up

😅😅😅😂😂😂 "oohh so this like the devil devil" 😂😂😂 this dude is funny!!!

Rosemary's baby is probably the scariest movie about the devil

When Charlize Theron says "SShhhhh... do you hear that?..." Gave me chills. Then my friends and I started using it in conversation to describe crazy shyt, and it's hilarious. Hilarious commentary AS USUAL,

This is one of those movies that, once watched and the plot is understood, you have to rewatch to fully appreciate the performance Pacino gives. Scent Of A Woman level acting.

"I don't lose! I win! I'm a lawyer, that's my job! That's what I do!" That whole scene is pure masterclass acting.

The part that gets me is the nurse trying to take a pulse while she bleeds out everywhere.

3:07 defense attorneys are not a bad thing, their job is to keep the justice system honest. Not every defense attorney is like that. Their real job is to keep actual innocent people out of prison.

"People die in rooms like that" 😂

Al Pacino plays the Devil. I don't know what more you need to be intrigued.

"The baby got a bowl cut. Get away from it!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Love how you are 1 second "They key to the plot" to being shook to your core the next. Watching your reactions always makes my day better, thank you and your editor(s) for all the content yall provide to us!

The next door neighbor's wife who was helping Maryann pick paint is played by the same actress who has played a medical examiner on Law and Order SVU for decades now.

This was the first movie that made me realize just how short Al Pacino really is ~ and yet he still dominates the entire movie. Just one of the most charismatic actors of all time. I don't give a damn what you tempt me with, I'm not neglecting Charlize Theron after she's married me.... and that charming southern accent she adapted for this role just makes her even that much more endearing. Then to keep gaslighting her throughout the entire movie..... that's the real horror of this movie. I can deal with the demons, I can even face off against the devil...... but not a chance in hell I'm betraying the woman I love. Might as well put a dagger through my own heart.

This is the most fun I've ever seen Al Pacino have, and the best acting I've ever seen from Keanu and especially Charlise, who was pitch perfect! But, mostly, I love this move for the script.

Delroy Lindo is one of my favorite actors. Great in Clockers.

Awesome movie. The battle between good, and evil, is always about free will.

70s Pacino is definitely my favorite Pacino ('Serpico,' '...And Justice For All,' and 'Scarecrow' are MUSTS), but 90s Pacino said "f*ck subtlety" and created a whole other iconic era for his career, playing larger than life characters with a level of intensity (some people would dismissively regard as "over the top") that most actors would shy away from, but that he embraced with every inch of his being. This film is 90s Pacino at his wildest 😂❤

19:17 You haven't seen HEAT? You're in for a treat!

“I shimmy for you”… I about spit my drink through my nose, bro. Don’t do that. Lol.

Morgan Freeman will always be God to me, just like Al Pacino will always be the Devil. They played those roles so perfectly, that no one could ever hope to match up to their performances. When I think of the voice of God it's Morgan's calm, soothing voice and when I think of the voice of the Devil it's Pacino's charismatic, energetic, and tempting voice.

The devils advocate definitely one of my favorite movies

'Call me dad.' Al Pacino is The Goat

I got Charlize Theron at home, NOBODY catches my eye!! Lol😅

There's a version of this story without the supernatural. It's Tom Cruise in The Firm. Small town lawyer is attracted to the big city. A wife is tempted by the boss. It's funny how closely the stories follow. I actually like The Firm more than this.

Tamara Tunie, the gorgeous babe that gives Charlize's character the Mileena smile at 21:37, plays the Medical Examiner on a bunch of Law & Order: SVU episodes. This movie is all kinds of awesome.

Pacino is one of the few who can pull off “charming like a mofo” and then switch it up to total psychopath in a heartbeat

This is one of my favorite movies. Loved that he hooked him again at the end! 😂 Tbh if he keeps trying I think one of the times will work. You should react to Constantine! Another Keanu movie with religious themes.

22:02 the excited little boy wiggle with the fists!!! Im dying

At 9:37 Milton (Pacino) shows Keanu Reeves "All the Kingdoms of the World" just like when Satan tempted Jesus during his 40 days in the desert and took Christ to a mountaintop

"We'd be on kid three, I swear to God" 😂 had me fucked up

"He can rewind time." I think that was God. There's a sound cue at the start of the movie at that exact moment (it's overlaid with the toilet flushing.) The whole point is we are all under the test every day. Any number of things can tempt us and twist us. Even in just small ways. "It's you, you're a star!" Appealed to his ego, and got him on the wrong path again. Now Kevin will turn into a media sensation and get involved in money, drugs, and other women. What makes this movie so great to me is I think its probably the single best break down, boots on the ground, depiction of what sin is, how it works, and why we all have to be careful of it. On the religious side, it shows exactly why we have to stay close to Jesus Christ. For the non-religious it works as a great morality play about the fallibility of man. Temptation is powerful, subtle, and tricky. It is the Devil's domain. The movie does a great job of dialing the nob on the supernatural element as well. Things are very subtle in the beginning. That odd sound cue in the bathroom, the oddness of Milton's office and the water in the sky vibe of his tower... then the first case, with voodoo used to silence the other lawyer.... Until we are in full fever pitch with premonitions, nightmares, visions, and outright supernatural stuff going on. It hits you hard on that first time view, but rewatches let you pick up so many wonderful details. I love this movie. It's my favorite depiction of the Devil hands down. EOM, I know you got a patreon who no doubt have you loaded down with movies to watch, but I strongly suggest "A Simple Plan" from 1998. It is one of my favorite Hitchcock inspired movies... Sam Raimi, in between his Evil Dead-Darkman phase and his Spider Man phase. It's a great movie that gets almost no love at all.

The reaction for the twist was amazing 🤣

One of my fav movies

"Consider the source!" (Yeah, God.)

“Stay toxic, my friends.” 😂😂😂 Edit: “The baby got a bowl cut. Get away from it!” 😂😂😂😂

one of my childhood classic. absolutly terrifying !

(10:35) Tamara Tunie has done a lot of TV. I know her mostly as the M.E. (Dr. Warner) in Law and Order: SVU.

My favorite quote has to be “He’s an absentee landlord” 😂😂

10:26 That's Tamara Tunie. She's been in *a lot* of movies and TV shows. I loved her as Gulf War veteran, medical examiner and all around bad ass Dr. Melinda Warner on _Law & Order: Special Victims Units._ A couple of years ago, she played Whitney Houston's mom in the movie _Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody_ (2022).

I assume others have mentioned that the develepor's penthouse scene was filmed in Donald Trump's penthouse. The irony... or councidence --choose one-- is breathtaking... 🤣

Yes! been waiting for this to get on the radar. Such an underrated movie.

"Vanity, definitely my favorite sin." Fun Fact: Theatrical movie debut of Nikita Ager. That's Hot Fact: Charlize Theron thought long and hard about appearing fully nude in the film, having turned down Showgirls (1995) for precisely that reason. She finally agreed because she loved her character. Art Before Ego Fact: Keanu Reeves accepted a lower salary so the producers could pay Al Pacino's asking price. When Pacino later heard about this, he donated the same amount of his salary to charity. Subtle Storytelling Fact: Keanu Reeves's suit gets darker as the movie progresses. It starts as a light color and then goes through increasingly dark shades of gray. By the end of the movie, his suit is black. This is indicative of his character's decreasing morality throughout the movie. Boxing Enthusiast Fact: Lomax (Keanu Reeves) and Milton (Al Pacino) run into Don King at the bout. King was in attendance that night, because one of the fighters he promoted at the time, Oba Carr, fought on the undercard of the Roy Jones Jr.-Bryant Brannon bout. Carr lost a 12-round decision to WBA welterweight champion Ike Quartey. Location Location Fact: The outdoor patio in John Milton's (Al Pacino) office was actually on the 50th floor of a New York City building. The actual stage was eight feet away from the edge of the building. President Donald Trump's private residential multi-level apartment at Trump Tower was used as Alex Cullen's (Craig T. Nelson) home. Trump's landmark gold decor, and classic view of Central Park, provide a familiar New York City backdrop. Appearing on the WTF podcast, writer Tony Gilroy said: "We needed the ugliest, most garish, horrifying real estate developer apartment you could possible have and Trump threw his apartment at us."

Angel Heart! Plus Lisa Bonet being key to the plot.

It's my favorite Al & Keanu movie. The ending speech about God was amazing!

Devils Advocate was an huge success in Brazil and was in top 10 box office.

The movie that made me like Al Pacino was "Frankie & Johnny" it also made me love Debussy. Lots more excellent actors in that flick. One of my all time favorite. Rom-Com

All I wanna know is what part of FL was the accent Keanu was going for? 🤣

“Oh dis like da devil devil.....” Yeah bruh, dat was me when I first saw dis! 😬

4:20 I love J's reaction here. The audience was hit instantly with badness and it should be recognized.

Keanu, Al and Charlize were all so phenomenal in this movie! loved your reaction J, great editing Blank!

I forgot this is a horror movie. The chick he lusting over was in Gladiator, she played Joaquin Phoenix sister.

You’re right, Don King is the Devil. That’s why he styles his hair that way, so you don’t see the horns. I’d love to see you do a reaction to Insomnia, it’s another great Al Pacino movie with Robin Williams costarring in it.

Al Pacino must have had a blast in this role - his monologue near the end is awesome. He is so much fun to watch in this. And I just love Keanu. He is a beautiful person inside and out. Charlize was absolutely amazing in this as well.

Film trivia The deserted street Kevin Lomax walks out on to is East 57th Street looking North West towards 3rd Ave. The Sutton Theater that is so prominent in the shot has since been demolished. The film makers had to shoot very early in the morning and closed off nearby streets to get this remarkable shot

It wasn’t a dream. Since he shot himself the devil (his father) restarted again. He needs Kevin to have that baby

I knew that first jump scare was going to be priceless!

22:45 this hushed STFU had me rolling 😂

Hey my brother thanks so much for this and glad you liked it...I forgot how wicked and badass this movie is.. Pacino definitely stole the show

The Ninth Gate is a good devil themed film with Johnny Depp

Vanity... please watch The exorcism of Emily Rose, The exorcist 3: Legion and The Omen 1 and 2... love your reactions, looove your babies 👏😘

M. E. Warner from Law and Order SVU😀

the "Devil's Advocate" is something actually "exists" I live in Rome. When a priest is to made saint or not a court is called, while a side tries to convince the passed away priest is to be saint for several reason, one priest tries to convince the council he is not to be made saint for other reasons. just to have an impartial judgement (it's never impartial). The priest convincing the guy is not worthy of ascendancy to sanctity is called "the devil's advocate".

Delroy Lindo been in everything man, he's among the greatest

End of Days (1999) Arnold Schwarzenegger is a good one too

Your Lannister remark cracked my wife and me up. Hilarious.

This film is so underrated. Al is phenomenal and just chewed the scenery in this

one of the best sincere Jump scares I’ve seen when u realize the title of the movies significance. Awesome!!! 👏 love sincerity and realism in reactions

Loved watching this movie with you...but you let me down. Rewatch the scene where Charlize kills herself and pay attention to Keanu's acting. It is brilliant. I know the critics enjoy slagging him off but directors like Bertolucci have praised him. People might not like his style (he is a reactor, not an actor, imo) but to suggest he has no talent is inaccurate and unfair. If you can find him believable as Ted Logan (Bill & Ted), Neo (The Matrix), John Wick, and now this character, then that proves he has acting chops.

I absolutely love the fact you had the same reaction as most of us who saw this for the first time.

Hang on a minute! Pacino's name in this is John Milton? As in the guy who wrote Paradise Lost? I think they even pull a quote from that. How did I JUST figure all this out? 🤦‍♀️

“With what?” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Real Life Fact: The Devil's Advocate is a real position in the Catholic Church when they create saints. In the past the church was making too many saints, so they tried to vet the process and Advocatus Diaboli was born. Basically one side gives arguments in favor of making the person a saint and the opposing side, the Devil's Advocate, gives reasons against.
