Al Pacino playing the Devil should be a big enough sell to anyone. Add into the mix Keanu Reeves, as the hot-shot lawyer who is seduced by a big-time New York City law firm, and Charlize Theron, as his wife who begins to be plagued by visions and nightmares. It's a film that speaks about vanity, ego, greed, jealousy, lust and the loss of innocence. It also features some excellent scene chewing from Al Pacino.

Film & TV journalist Simon Thompson joins the podcast to discuss this 1997 horror/thriller film. Thompson looks back at when he first saw this movie, how Reeves performance was something we had not seen before and why he believes that Pacino's monologue at the end of the film is some of his best work.
