    THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE (1997) is not good, but it's a good example of a bygone type of movie: the mid-budget, middlebrow movie for grownups, with real locations, an orchestral score, and a sex scene with brief nudity

    You can pull up a random mid-tier film from the 90s, say, The Devil's Advocate (1997), and it's got better cinematography, editing, lighting, VFX, and a tighter script than most of the garbage that's being churned out today

    Books to film 💬=🎞️ The Devil's Advocate (1990) by Andrew Neiderman was adapted to film in 1997. The biggest change in the film is there is more of a supernatural aspect while in the novel it is more subtle. Using the legal profession as a metaphor for evil is present in both. 😈⚖️🎭 #filmsky #booksky

    In the 1997 film The Devil's Advocate, a billionaire property developer makes a deal with the Devil after he is accused of doing something unspeakable to women and girls. I don't want to claim the filmmakers were overly on the nose in their decisions, but they filmed it in Donald Trump's apartment.

I guess none of them have real friends, but maybe that's a part of their karma? Friendship & Love are more than the abstract nouns, as dictionaries claim.
