凯文是佛罗里达州一名聪明过人的年轻辩护律师,在接手的几十个案子中还从没输过。除了辩才,他还有个诀窍——挑选“具有同情心的”陪审团成员。一天,纽约一家著名律师事务所派人来请他帮忙,并开出了诱人的条件。无法抵挡物质、金钱与虚荣心诱惑的凯文携漂亮的妻子来到纽约,开始了新的生活。事业蒸蒸日上的凯文继续保持着不败的纪录,但与此同时他却逐渐失去了良心,毁掉了幸福的家庭生活。魔鬼本是《圣经》中专与上帝作对的邪恶代表,用各种手法诱惑人类去做坏事。人们往往经受不住诱惑而陷入魔鬼设置的陷阱,为物质享受、金钱、美色或虚荣而自甘堕落。影片中的凯文就是一个绝好的例证。其实,我们每个人身上都有凯文的影子。正如魔鬼在影片结尾中所说,每个人都难逃“虚荣”的诱惑。
Kevin is a clever young defender in Florida who has never lost control in dozens of cases. In addition to his eloquence, he has a knack-picking “compassionate” jury member. One day, a well-known New York law firm sent him a hand to help him out and made seductive conditions. Unable to resist the temptation of material, money and vanity, Kevin brought a beautiful wife to New York to start a new life. Kevin, whose career is booming continues to hold an unbeaten record, but at the same time he gradually loses his conscience and ruins a happy family life. The devil is the evil representative of the biblical secondary school against God, and uses various tactics to entice human beings to do bad things. People often can not stand the temptation to fall into the trap set by the devil, for material comfort, money, beauty or vanity and self-degenerate. Kevin in the movie is an excellent example. In fact, each of us has Kevin’s shadow. As the devil said at the end of the movie, everyone can not escape the temptation of “vanity.”
