Summary: Good Story, poor transfer.
Review: The story behind Fallen is very good. The sound track is very good in Dolby Digital 5.1 format. I am less than enthused with the video transfer. It is quite grainy and not that much better that watching a VHS format movie. Overall this is one that you should probably add to your collection. The poor video transfer is why I rate it at only 4 stars.

Summary: By far, the best movie I have seen.
Review: A genius creation of motion picture at his best, both superb camera work and great acting make this movie a one that you will not forget easily. It has the psychological angle that sits in your mind, long after the credit rolled. The best feature of this movie, is one that can't be found easily in the cinema these days, that it is completely, utterly unexpected. You think you can predict the end, well, the director will prove you wrong. I, myself, rate it a the top of the list.

Summary: Complicated, keeps you in suspense untill the very end
Review: Despite what many people have said, I thoroughly enjoyed it. It has a very detailed plot that keeps you guessing untill the last second. It's very confusing, one blink and you're lost for the rest of the movie, so you might have to watch it a few times before you can really begin to understand the underlying plot sceme. I would highly reccomend to anyone who is a fan of drama and suspense. Incredible performance by Denzel Washington. Worth seeing

Summary: It really made you think even after the movie was over.
Review: I really enjoyed the movie "Fallen", because it was action packed and it left you thinking about it even days after you had seen it. I even went as far as looking some of the words up in the bible just as they did and found them to be true. For a movie to get me that interested and involved takes a lot. I thought that the movie was brillant. Denzel Washington is a wonderful actor and was born to play this part. John Goodman also did an excellent job as his sidekick and also put an interesting twist on the plot. I really enjoyed this movie and think many others will to.

Summary: Interesting Concept with some good acting
Review: Fallen takes the genre of "Celestials" one step forward, and makes a "Fallen Angel" the perpetrator of many serial murders. Denziel Washington plays the detective that has stumbled across this Fallen Angel's path this time. This criminal is unique in that he can pass from body to body with the merest touch...making anyone and everyone a possible threat to Denziel's character. An enjoyable thriller with and interesting concept. Recommended. END

Summary: Ho hum
Review: Denzel Washington is John Hobbes, a homicide cop who is called to investigate a killing that looks very like the work of recently executed Edgar Reese and is disturbed to find that whoever did it seems to attach real significance to the odd riddle Reese teased him with shortly before dying. The riddle's solution leads him to the case of another cop's mysterious death in a remote mountain cabin thirty years previously and to that cop's surviving daughter, now an academic expert on angels. And deciphering the words of Aramaic Reece spoke to Hobbes in the same pre-execution conversation thickens the plot still further...It's natural to bracket this film with Rupert Wainwright's 1999 "Stigmata" as a pair of ambitious, quite expensively cast, mainstream Hollywood attempts from the late 90's to breathe a little new life into the old "Exorcist" theme of possession neither of which quite comes off. This one is pleasant enough to watch, taking the form of what at first seems a fairly conventional police procedural thriller until the supernatural elements start to crowd in. The first half is the best with its intriguing sense of mystery. Things get weaker when the mystery dispels and Hobbes is left in no doubt about the strange game of demonic tag he has stumbled upon. The problem here is that what Hobbes find out is intended to be truly disturbing and scary and, well, it isn't all that much. SO an OK mystery movie that turns into a rather ineffective horror movie that is well enough put together to sustain interest but won't linger in the memory.

Summary: good actors, bad movie
Review: I am a fan of Denzel Washington, and I think John Goodman is a very good actor, but this movie did not live up to the expectations. The main reason is that the plot just unravels even before halfway, it simply is not believable in any sense. And the final was a letdown and a vain attempt to be even creepier than the movie. I don't particularly have a problem with supernatural thrillers, but this one just doesn't make the cut. No matter how good the actors are and the acting is, when the material you work with is bad, there is not much you can do.

Summary: Fall, Fallen, Fell
Review: A stylish and suspensful film with a great premise. THE FALLEN is a pretty good mystery, supernatural, suspense thriller. It's ALL THAT up to the last 5-to-10 minutes. However, the bottom falls out at the climax and it leaves the audience either confused, empty, angry or all of the above (while the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil" plays in the background of the closing credits). An evil entity transfers to different human hosts through physical contact, takes over their body, and goes on a killing spree leading the authorities to believe that there is a serial killer or copy-cat killer on the loose. Denzel Washington as Detective John Hobbes figures out what is going on through riveting police work and must suspend all doubts of the supernatural to prepare a plan to fight the evil presence. What happens in the end destroys the story and the credibility of the lead character (Washington) as the evil entity is allowed to escape (a la Hannibal Lecter in SILENCE OF THE LAMBS - -perhaps the producers thought they could get a sequel out of it). The open-end conclusion is what hurts the film. This reviewer became engrossed in the film, but, ultimately felt cheated by the end and felt 2 hours of time was wasted.

Summary: Denzel's Convictions
Review: I really tried hard to get into this movie, but I just couldn't I was like . . . well I thought he was alive in the introducton/voiceover. But at the end he was already dead. Was he the devil or was he not? John Goodman did a good job playing the unknown devil's advocate. But I was like Mmm.... I don't know about this one. I really am not comfortable with movies that address's The recurring motif "Good verses Evil" especially when the Good guy turns out to be the evil one.(Denzel) Fallen. Was this movie a testament of his Moral Convictions? Or was it just another Movie Block Buster that all stars choose to play when a Movie like "The Sixth Sense" pulls in the BIG BUCKS! Denzel is a sort Save the World--Good Guy, and not "I'm fallen spiritually--morally, and I can't get back up" I really did not find this movie that entertaining. I guess the only reason that I watched it so long--was because Denzel Washington just looked so Damn! good on the movie screen.
Truth Be Told.
