THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE
Sundance, 9:00 p.m. ET
How time flies: This movie was released in 1997 – now 23 years ago – and starred Al Pacino as a New York lawyer so powerful and influential, he may be in league with the devil. Or may be the devil, period. Keanu Reeves stars as a young lawyer taken in by the evil firm’s satanic majesty, in what amounts to a supernatural take on Tom Cruise’s character and situation in The Firm, a film which had come out four years before. But watch, closely, for the increasingly intense performance, in her first major screen role, given by the actress playing Reeves’ wife. She’s Charlize Theron, and displays, in this early performance, all the talent and commitment she’s brought to the screen ever since.
