Outrageously entertaining ... The picture's most superlative turn comes from Charlize Theron, who's a revelation in the first role to really show off her talents.

Stylishly seductive and well-acted by Al Pacino and Keanu Reeves, but thematically flawed, Taylor Hackford's film is yet another version of the Faustian morality tale.

This supremely silly supernatural potboiler is slickly entertaining for just under two hours and absolutely hilarious for 10 minutes near the end...

Violence, sex, profanity dominate graphic temptation tale.

Although it's nice for a film to be ambitious, there is such a thing as overreaching.

Couldn't be more ridiculous.

As the movie approaches 2 1/4 hours, it begins feeling like eternal damnation.

[Hackford] seems stuck in a private limbo, unable to decide whether he's making a special-effects flick or a pop-philosophical tract.

Far too bland and mediocre to really pull off such heavy handed themes...

The movie's greatest strength is that it becomes more complex and rewarding as it goes along.

The movie never fully engaged me; my mind raced ahead of the plot, and the John Grisham stuff clashed with the Exorcist stuff.

Regrettably, an overblown finale and redundant trick ending undercut the mild subversiveness of what's gone before.
