5 stars (Exceptional) Reeves is good as the stone-faced criminal lawyer who has never lost a case, but Pacino is simply stunning as his fiery and devilish boss who is pulling more strings than at first imagined. "Satan? Just call me Dad." ~Tom H

3 stars (Good Enough) Too long and Reeves out of his depth but who wouldn't be with Pacino playing Pacino. Jeffrey Jones holds his own though and Charlize shows her ability to significantly change character. Best are the NY street shots.Deleted scenes commentary worthwhile. ~Tubbs
