Devil's Advocate (1997)

Keanu steps out of his comfort zone and plays a smart guy for a change. He does it well, which is doubly impressive as he shares screen time with Al Pacino and still manages to impress. Pacino gets to overact as usual, but the role calls for that kind of hoo-hah, so it’s most welcome. The film has some great dialogue and if not for the facepalm ending (which admittedly would've worked well on paper, but sucks ass on screen) I'd have scored it higher. Hit stop five minutes before the end and make it a better film.

3½ money turns people into assholes out of 5
