i just seen this movie it was pretty bad to be honest devils advocate is FAR FAR FAR FAR better than angel heart angel heart it just flat out booring to sum it up. i cant believe people can say this is better than devils advocate, theres no comparison!
i give angel heart a 4/10 (5 TOPS) devils advocate is MUCH MUCH MUCH better, i give devils advocate a 9/10. i dont understand how this movie can get a 7.1/10 , dont make sense to me.
considering deniro was in this movie it was pretty bad and he's barely in it to top it off. i was not going into the movie expecting to much but it turned out worse than i was expecting i was going into the movie expecting to rate it around a 6/10 area but i was wrong.
p.s. those who think keanu reeves cant act i dont even get that crap cause he obviously can even if you dont consider em a top level actor he's still pretty good in devils advocate. -

Everyone's got thier own opinions, but I personally loved it. I loved how the atmosphereic film that Parker managed to create (especially in the beginning) which was heightened by a brilliant score, I also thought De Niro was spot on playing "Louis Chyphre". Rourque and the rest of the cast were really good as well, but for me De Niro stole it.
That said, I am also a huge fan of the Devil's Advocate, Pacino was superb as the devil and the only real problem I had with the film was the bit near the end where all the jazz music started playing, that was a bit cheesy. -

Jazz music? You mean "Paint it Black" by the Rolling Stones?
While I enjoyed Devil's Advocate alright, it never for an instant impacted me on the level of Angel Heart. I mean, talk about tension and atmosphere. Also, I thought DA was really condescending to the viewers. Backstage they must have been thinking, "Okay, how can we remove all ambiguity and mystery and make this movie as obvious as possible so the idiot test audiences will get it?" -

lol some people just don't get subtlety.it eludes them.they need everything to be over-the-top hit-with-a-hammer to get it.that is why hollywood is for you and good films are for people who can grasp nuance.

this movie sucked, it has no sense. The only good thing is Robert De Niro's acting.
I think it's stupid to say: "this movie was really good for 1987" a movie is a movie in 1987 or 1997, it doesn't matter the year in which it was made when you're trying to decide either the movie was good or bad. -

I totally disagree. It is not a movie for mainstream audience who half of the time watch crappy movies with no imagination or originality. It demands a certain intellectual effort to like it, or i should say, love it!

this is one of the best movies of all time and devils advocate was a joke. everyone is saying they didnt like it because it was too slow, and thats probly why u like that beep devils advocate. this movie takes its time and doesnt rush itself and relies on its scenery and imagery and plot and acting, and if you enjoy good movies, your willing to wait. and it pays off huge. devils advocate is exactly like every other movie ive forgotten like end of days and stigmata that has nothing original to it and entertains people with short attention spans who like michael bay type beep dont compare a classic to beep

All i was saying is that you're watching the movie now. I can't understand how a person could think this way: well, i like this two movies, but i think one of them is better because it is an old one. That's the way i think.
