Leaving April 30
•
2h 23m
Directed by Taylor Hackford • 1997 • United States
Starring Keanu Reeves, Al Pacino, Charlize Theron
A diabolical performance from Al Pacino lights up this operatically over-the-top legal thriller with a supernatural twist. He’s John Milton, the most powerful and feared attorney in New York City, who picks Kevin Lomax (Keanu Reeves), an ambitious Florida lawyer, to join his team, inaugurating the younger man into a high-powered world of luxury cars, unlimited expense accounts, and penthouse apartments. But Kevin’s new career soon turns hellish as the lure of limitless wealth, sex, and fame spins out of control and he begins to see the ominous side of his new employer.
