| Plot |
| Supernatural forces hover over the courtroom in this devilish drama adapted from the novel by Andrew Neiderman. Attorney Kevin Lomax ( Keanu Reeves ) doesn't heed the Bible-based warnings of his mother ( Judith Ivey ), who views New York City as "the dwelling place of demons." Instead, he leaves Gainesville, Florida, with his wife Mary Ann ( Charlize Theron ) to put his legalistic skills to the test at a leading Manhattan law firm run by John Milton ( Al Pacino ). It all goes smoothly — with Milton urging them to stay, putting Kevin on a $400-per-hour salary, and moving the couple into a luxurious apartment in his own building on Fifth Avenue — where Mary Ann falls under the influence of neighbor Jackie ( Tamara Tunie ). After Kevin defends a weird animal sacrificer ( Delroy Lindo , uncredited), he moves up to an important case with an apparent murderer, real-estate tycoon Alexander Cullen ( Craig T. Nelson ). Ignored by Kevin, the troubled Mary Ann has some disturbing experiences, verging on the occult, while Kevin, at work, becomes attracted to redhead Christabella ( Connie Neilsen ). Dazzled by his entrance into paradise, Kevin doesn't grasp who handed him this Big-Apple success. Could it be...Satan? The film features demonic creatures by Rick Baker . Cameos (Senator Alfonse D'Amato, Don King, others) add to the ambiance of ambition and power in the canyons of Manhattan. — Bhob Stewart |
