The Devil’s Advocate (1997) is a psychological horror-thriller that blends legal drama with supernatural elements. Directed by Taylor Hackford, the film follows Kevin Lomax (Keanu Reeves), a hotshot lawyer who is recruited by a prestigious New York law firm led by the enigmatic John Milton (Al Pacino). As Kevin becomes more entangled in the firm’s dark dealings, he slowly realizes that Milton is, in fact, the Devil himself, manipulating events to test Kevin’s morality. The film explores themes of ambition, temptation, and free will, culminating in a climactic confrontation between good and evil, where Kevin must make a fateful choice about his soul.

The score, composed by James Newton Howard, is a haunting blend of orchestral and choral elements that enhances the film’s eerie atmosphere. The music shifts from subdued, tension-building motifs in the courtroom scenes to grand, operatic flourishes during the film’s more supernatural moments, particularly in Milton’s fiery monologues. The use of Latin choral chants adds a religious undertone, reinforcing the film’s themes of sin and damnation. Howard’s score plays a crucial role in heightening the tension and giving the film a larger-than-life, almost biblical grandeur.
