Every young associate has probably had a tough boss at their firm, but what if that boss was literally Satan? Our pick for the Pro Say Movie Club this week “The Devil’s Advocate” tells the story of hot shot Florida litigator Kevin Lomax, played by Keanu Reeves, whose perfect courtroom record draws the eye of a tony New York law firm and its enigmatic top partner John Milton, played by Al Pacino. The new caseload presents Kevin with a series of escalating moral crises and rips his family apart as he becomes an unwitting pawn in a battle for humanity. We discuss Kevin’s savant-like abilities in the courtroom; how accurate his BigLaw life really is -- would all the partners really live in the same condo building?; and how winning the case at all costs isn’t always worth it.
