Andrew Neiderman wrote The Devil's Advocate as a novel, and it was published in 1990 by Simon and Schuster. Believing his story could be adapted into a film, Neiderman approached Warner Bros. and claimed to have led his successful sale with the synopsis "It's about a law firm in New York that represents only guilty people, and never loses".

Wow. How come I haven’t watched it before? A good and atmospheric film. The ending was satisfying, although a little predictable. Translated to English
In 2000 I would have rated it a 10, but today it’s only a 7; although the film was interesting, it lacked something that would make me want to watch it again. But it’s definitely worth watching once if you managed to miss such a great film) Translated to English
Charlize is simply incomparable here. Watching Pacino play is, as always, a pleasure. Translated to English
A good film, with good actors, a plot and Sherlize Theron’s boobs. Translated to English
God lost us at poker, and the 20th century is the century of Satan, with the face of Al Pacino. An incomparable film that raises the question: Is the Devil a man? Is man a devil? Translated to English
I’m a fan of Lovecraft’s cosmic philosophy, so the human demons here made me laugh worse than any comedy. It is worth giving credit to the cool Reeves and the artsy Pacino, the men pulled out this fairy tale. Translated to English
Overall the story is good. Great actors and atmosphere but not enough mysticism. And it was possible to shorten the film since the length was not too disappointing. Translated to English
I absolutely loved Pacino’s performance, which even surprised me, it was so good and natural. I liked everything except the ending, which was again created in my least favorite storytelling traditions. I also praise Charlize’s acting – she, together with the viewer, catches a specific crazy Translated to English
It seems that the role, and the film as a whole, was written under Al Pacino. The perfect devil. But I won’t ignore Charlize’s transformation either. A very strong film. Translated to English
A well-written script results in an exciting film. The cast is wonderful and did a great job. Elements of drama, thriller and horror combine well. Translated to English
