The Devil's Advocate

This 1997 American film is classifed as a supernatural horror film. It is not suitable for children.

Kevin Lomax (Reeves) is a Florida defense attorney who has never lost a case. He's recruited by a big New York lawyer, John MIlton (Pacino).

It's a depiction of how Satan/Lucifer has taken over the law-industry - literally.

In a monologue at the end, Pacino seems to be taken over by Satan in his speech, saying "who can deny the 20th century was entirely mine?"

Arrogant Lucifer had to have written that speech personally, which is also a demonstration of how evil he is.

Matt. 23:11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
23:12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
23:13 But woe unto you, lawyers and (Pharisees - Farsis - Persian converts to Judaism, who were the) politicians, hypocrites! for ye shut up The Kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in [yourselves], neither allow ye them that are entering to go in (see Enoch 93:4-104:6).
23:14 Woe unto you, lawyers and politicians, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
23:15 Woe unto you, lawyers and politicians, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one convert, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell-fire than yourselves.

"Vanity gets them every time."
