The Devil's Advocate

In Alan Parker’s slickly orchestrated "The Devil's Advocate" (1997), Kevin Lomax, a relentless Florida defense attorney, swaps sunny justice for the neon-lit corruption of New York City when he joins a powerful law firm. As the firm’s machinations grow increasingly sinister, Lomax confronts a moral abyss where winning at all costs is the law’s dark gospel. Willem Defoe’s Machiavellian firm head and Charlize Theron’s enigmatic temptress push Lomax to question his soul as much as his case law, weaving a tale of ethical decay and spiritual warfare.
