Go To

John Milton is really God.
Ok we have Kevin doing everything he can to win his cases. We see where his life goes if he continues onto this path. We even see him giving Kevin a second chance in the end. If that isn't divine intervention, one might not know what is.
  • Technically, Satan IS divine; he's just the other side of the coin, unless you believe Satan Is Good.

All of the cases are planned and engineered by John Milton himself.
That Mexican he spoke with in the tube will likely kill his wife and his friend. Then, one of Milton's lawyers will protect him in the court. It's not a big stretch of imagination that all Kevin's cases were inspired by Devil's guidance, too. That way, Milton establishes a vicious circle - he makes people commit sins and makes his lawyers commit sins by saving those people from judgment.
  • Well, Milton did say that he doesn't pull the strings, and that he sets up the stage and that the humans pull their own strings.

Al Pacino wasn't really acting.
He really is the Devil.

Some of Milton's other children have appeared in other films
Namely, Top Dollar and his sister, Myca. It would explain the incest.
  • And that would explain why they don't look alike, as with Mr. Gideon finding it hard to see a family resemblance.
