I watched The Devil's Advocate recently. I spent 95% of the film pretty bored. I was sitting there thinking 'ok... the story is gripping, the way it's filmed is really clever, Al Pacino is masterful, the blurring of real and fantasy to explain complex concepts while keeping the viewer wondering just what is real is sublime and yet for some reason it's not doing it for me'.
And then the twist at the end happened and it all just came together for me and I loved it. It became a masterpiece. My hands shook, I was in shock for hours afterwards by just how good that film was.

However to this day I'm really quite unsure how I feel about that film. I think it's really well done and I think the way it all comes together at the end is fantastic. However, it's like most of the film is strangely unsatisfying at the time and while in retrospect it is good I feel had I had anything better to do I'd have probably stopped watching half way. It just didn't do it for me at the time, although once I'd seen the end everything preceding it was redeemed. Does that make it a bad film?
