Pros: Suspense, Intrigue, Mystery, Great Plot Cons: Not Suited for Everyone
In the 1990's, Denzel Washington was a new actor on the move. He was upward and onward - well on his way to stardom. One of my personal Denzel movie favorites of the 1990's is "The Fallen."
Pros: Set on Phila., James Gandolphi, Denzel Washington Cons: nothing
The Rolling Stones' "Time is on my side" is sung by a convicted murderer as he is being led to the gas chamber. That's basically how this movie starts.
Elias Koteas plays a great psycho - Edgar Reese. He's the one who's singing...
Pros: A mystery that requires some thought, lots of puzzles! Cons: Confusing at first to us not so brights
I put off seeing this movie for a long while for a couple of reasons:
One reason, was my nephew that I adore highly recommended this movie and usually our taste is so different I just told him I would check it out and of course never did (he...
Pros: The Ending, The Cast, The Twists and Turns Cons: The Scene That Spoils The Ending
Fallen is a great movie that is greatly underrated.
Detective John Hobbes (Denzel Washington) has just arrested a brutal serial killer (Elias Koteas) who has a penchant for the songs of the Rolling Stones (thus the title of my review). He is...
Here's a story about a supernatural happening wherein an ancient evil being can pass through people's bodies by the simple action of a touch or a bump.
This whole scenario begins with Elias Koteas, a criminal about to be put to death for...
Pros: A feelgood movie for Satanists Cons: A drag for everyone else
The one interesting point about this movie is it's ability to make you root for Beelzebub. By the end of Fallen I firmly believed that Washington got what he deserved. Such a whiny and self-righteous cop would never have survived this long in reality,...
Fallen is one of the best suspense movies that I have seen in a long time. The plot starts out a bit confusing at first as you try to figure out what is happening. This does goes on for a...
Pros: Some legitimate suspense, a great surprise ending. Cons: Does not make sense.
An evil spirit, bent on murder and mayhem, passes itself from host to host by merely touching another living creature. This makes it nearly impossible to stop him, and sets the stage for some intense drama by creating an air of paranoia. You never know...
Pros: An adventurous merger of the mystery and supernatural genres Cons: A bit more dumbed down for the audience than it should have been
Fallen's contribution to film lies in an adventurous merger between the classic detective mystery and the supernatural horror genres. This originality within modern Hollywood should not be taken lightly at all, and hopefully, more of the industry will...
Pros: An involving plot with thrilling twists! Cons: Drab, colorless imagery which drains the film of life.
The darkened horror fan should have no trouble slipping into "Fallen", a film that tries its best to present us with a gritty crime drama tied to some insights into Christian mythology.
Pros: effective story, good scare Cons: predictable
