i don't get it how some imbeciles criticise this movie like they work in the industry of cinematography! How can you say that Reeves has a dumb voice? What is this? I think some of these "oh so cliché!" *hit throwers shouldn't even talk about movies. Just like with "Da Vinci Code"! Cannes was "disgusted" but it invited Hanks, McKellen and all the others to make some fuss. They needed the publicity. Hellloooo!!! It's a commercial movie made after a commercial book! What did you expect? Lion in winter? Now back to Devil's Advocate. This is a *ucking great film! Besides PACINO, the direction, the screenplay and all the other actors are excellent! You can't just say things based on voice tones or phony accents! All you professional critics on the idmb, give me a *ucking break! Go to Cannes and stay there! You should study mass-media to understand that a big production is meant to be liked by all people, not by your sassy asses!
