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 Runie). 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.
