Devil's advocate. Truly Keanu Reeves in his prime, riffing with a fantastic Al Pacino. The movie still haunts and fascinates 26 years later. The cinematography is impeccable.
Keanu’s accent in that is the worst southern accent I think I’ve ever heard. His emotion is excellent, but that always takes me out. Like, I’d rather watch Lucas Black and his southern accent from Tokyo Drift.
I'm not a native English speaker, so it doesn't faze me at all. Honestly I didn't even notice. I'll check again and pay attention to his accent next time.
Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoy the movie, but that is easily the worst part of it.
First time my friends and I watched Tokyo Drift we spent the whole movie ragging on his accent, only to watch the outtakes and behind the scenes afterward and realize that’s actually his accent!
Great movie, i really love this version of Al Pacino as well!
