For 1997’s horror film “The Devil’s Advocate,” Keanu Reeves took on the role of Kevin Lomax, a cocksure defense attorney from Gainesville, Florida. He’s undefeated in his career, managing to discredit witnesses and squeeze the most unctuous of defendants through the narrowest of windows provided by reasonable doubt. In fact, he’s so good that a big firm from New York City, the de facto legal capital of the world, has sent a headhunter down to Alachua County, Florida, to recruit him to join the firm of Milton Chadwick Waters on behalf of the head of the firm, John Milton (Al Pacino). So Kevin drags his wife Mary Ann (Charlize Theron) and all of their stuff up to the city that never sleeps in order to see to the firm’s business clients’ criminal legal needs. In the process, he risks losing his wife and his soul, because his new boss is Satan — not to mention his birth father — and the pervading darkness of their lives has caused Mary Ann to lose her mind.
If Kevin Lomax is your favorite character, you’re driven to succeed — like, maybe a bit too much. Like him, you’ll stop at nothing to achieve your goals, no matter what the cost. You’re eager to please your superiors with positive results and may neglect those around you in pursuit of success and acclaim. Like Kevin, you may need to re-evaluate your priorities and consider taking the L with grace. Also, you might be the antichrist, so maybe look into that before something bad happens.
