In cinemas, we last saw Keanu Reeves in the adrenaline-pumping action sequel John Wick: Chapter 4. For three hours he fights his way through the area before it comes to a spectacular finale in the streets of Paris. There’s no doubt that Reeves can do action films. But what about drama?
As early as the 1990s, Reeves was able to demonstrate his acting talent in various genres. one of his most impressive performances he delivered away from fists and guns in the fantasy thriller drama The Devil’s Advocate, which pits him against acting great Al Pacino.
The Devil’s Advocate on Netflix: Great acting duel between Keanu Reeves and Al Pacino
The story of The Devil’s Advocate goes back to Andrew Neiderman’s novel of the same name, which originally had the title The Devil’s Advocate carries. Reeves takes on the role of Kevin Lomax, an ambitious lawyer who is able to decide a considerable number of cases for his clients very early in his career.

Thanks to this remarkable quota, the chairman of an influential New York law firm became aware of him: John Milton. Pacino’s villain lures Lomax to New York and makes him an offer he can’t refuse. What the young lawyer doesn’t know: He deals directly with the devil.
It’s abundantly clear to us as viewers that Milton is up to no good. So the great appeal of The Devil’s Advocate is watching Lomax try to save his innocent idealism against the devil himself. In other words: Reeves is the perfect cast for this not to be underestimated 1990s classic.
