Review of Fallen (1998) by Damon S — 06 Aug 2011
Fallen is one of those movies, where the hook is more interesting by talking about it, than the movie itself. It's not as bad as all that, however it is very uneven. Denzel Washington is a detective who killed a vicious murderer, whom (SPOILER) is a fallen demon who can possess bodies with just a touch.
See? That right there is a good story. However it is lost towards the end, and the entire movie can drag at times. It is still very clever, even for 90's standards. Mixing supernatural and police procedural, instead of following the mantra of Se7en.
Parts of the movie excel, such as the very VERY natural acting by most all of the cast, some elements of the touching, and the dialogue. but again, wasn't as good an as mind blowing as it could've been.
