If a single touch was all it took, I guess MC Hammer would be safe. Uuuuuuuuuuugggggghhhhhh. Sorry.

I'm a big fan of this. The premise is amazing and the scenes with the crowds are awesome. And I also really dig the cast, particularly Elias Koteas singing "Tiiiime is on my side..." ("yes it is!")

The premise is good and the cast is amazing. Denzel Washington, James Gandolfini and John Goodman in the same movie? That sounds like a perfect premise and the cast does do a really amazing job in this one. Unfortunately the script falls short here. The idea of how the bad guy works is not used as effectively as it could have been and a lot of the times the tension is just missing here. Overall I was left feeling kind of nonplussed about this one. It's not bad, but it's not great, either.

Well crafted thriller but seriously DON'T watch the trailer. Way to many spoilers, the less you know the better.

Despite it's flaws I really like this film. My biggest problem is it immediately reveals the nature of the killer while we then have to wait half the movie for the protagonist to catch up. I believe it would have been far more chilling to uncover the mystery alongside Hobbs. That said, Fallen provides a creepy concept with many memorable scenes and should appeal to those who enjoy darker material. There are pacing problems towards the end but the climax is strong and fits the movie perfectly.

A great cast really pulls this movie through. Very unpredictable with an ending that really makes this worth watching. A little slow at times and the relationship with the brothers seems kind of dumb, but overall and excellent movie.

It's understated, but a pretty good supernatural thriller, which I'm a sucker for. Denzel does a decent enough job as well.

Not a brilliant film of course, but the idea of a travelling demon - and its execution in the film - is quite original and lifts Fallen above the normal 'supernatural stuff'.

Intriguing notion to mix elements of BODY SNATCHERS with SE7EN is defeated by an at-times leaden execution by Hoblit and the bizarre decision to reveal the "nature of the antagonist's game" early on, so that we can sit back and watch a miscast Washington's dogged attempts to realise what we already know. Not helped by a finale that feels like a cheat of the established ground rules, while also serving to make the whole film redundant!

It has some warts, such as some cheesiness and flawed writing, but it's also quite a bit different than a lot of thrillers. I think it deserves points for being relatively fresh, even now. The ending is a little awkwardly done but it's also unexpected; a nice twist that I didn't see coming. The story is actually legitimately terrifying to sit and think about. The entire cast does a good job even if sometimes the material is subpar.

The hooks of _Shocker_ and _The Hidden_ meet the look of _Se7en_ in a mainstream chiller. The Stones' "Time Is on My Side" serves as an ironic mantra (the same song was similarly, and more adroitly, referenced in _Glen and Randa_). This sports a neat twist ending worthy of a superior "Twilight Zone" episode but fails to supply enough entertainment along the way to make it worth the wait.

A clever thriller with an ending I thought was great. Washington shines, but I only wish the movie would've been a little tighter and a little more thrilling, even scary perhaps. But I enjoyed it.

Third-rate cop-and-serial-killer mythologisation with a religious bent (and featuring some laughable theological discussion between the protagonists). The film is slightly more interesting if taken as a coded exploration of the onset of paranoid psychosis. Very weak voiceover narration that seemed as though it may have been added later as an afterthought, presumably after test-audience reactions somehow mistakenly convinced the filmmakers of the need for greater diegetic clarification.

Mediocre and sadly not that thrilling. Aside from a few minor surprises this movie fails to match others that have tackled similar themes. It shows too many of its cards too early. Not particularly scary and the message it sends is docile.

This movie starts off like a mystery film, develops into thriller, and then becomes one of the scariest things you'll ever have to contemplate. But it's not a fantastic ride. It gets the job done but falls short of being great.

"What goes around, really goes around." What's so special about this movie is the portrayal of a Fallen Angel. Normally it's hard to maintain a sense in such movies because seriously, how can one battle an entity that's supposedly so much stronger than him? Well, this movie has an answer to it and a good one. Really good supernatural thriller, one of the two movies I rated 100 with Devil's Advocate. Oh and, DON'T watch the trailer or read any more reviews, you'll regret it I'm telling you.

Wow, really enjoyed this one! Denzel Washington in a supernatural movie with a very dark ending. I think the bad guy in this movie is pretty much overpowered so there is no way to really win from him. Loved seeing James Gandolfini in this one too and all the other great actors. Plus, super soundtrack :)

It was a good movie but the whole tone of the thing just felt a little dull. And the whole thing was a little bit rediculous. But some parts were really creepy, cause you never know who the killer is. And the way Denzel attempts to stop him is clever. I'm glad they didn't make a sequel though. I feel it would have been one of those straight to dvd things.

Denzel Washington is pretty average in this, but the supporting cast is excellent. James Gandolfini, John Goodman, and a brief stint from Elias Koteas are great. The story isn't a tour de force, but it keeps you thinking.

Fallen (1998) is a detective story starring Denzel Washington as a cop who gets unrelentingly harassed by some Rolling-Stones-obsessed daemon named Azazel. So, yeah, it's a supernatural thriller. I actually enjoyed this movie quite a bit. It had some great actors and a pretty decent script. It was more of a psychological thriller, so there wasn't a ton of action, but it keeps you on the edge of your seat.

In more capable hands this could have been a modern suspense classic, but as an under-the-radar 90s thriller, it's definitely worth a watch.
