Reviews for Fallen
Denzel Washington has the almost impossible task of holding together a convoluted picture that's only intermittently suspenseful and not very engaging emotionally or intellectually.

Top CriticDirector Gregory Hoblit consistently opts for an atmosphere of gloomy malaise rather than going for the cheap shocks.
01/11/08
The first half of this movie holds some promise, but time is not on its side.

Top CriticA high-concept mating of the police thriller and the supernatural, Gregory Hoblit's movie (sophomore jinx?) will disappoint afficionados of both genres.

Top CriticGod (or the Devil) is in the detail: every time a fluid is taken into the body, the fidgety camera zooms in, fascinated, suspicious.
01/26/06
All style and no substance.

Must-see for fans of satanic creepiness, The Rolling Stones, and sly tabby cats.
01/28/05
An effective genre film that leaves an unmistakably good impression, which is something most of Hollywood's supernatural thrillers usually fail to do.
03/22/04
A stylish if seriously far-fetched nightmare.

Top CriticMaybe the devil made the filmmakers do it. Although the acting and production values are good, don't be tempted to see this tedious film. It only reinforces society's fears that evil is everywhere -- and no one can do anything about it.
05/20/03
Despite a lackluster performance by Washington and a long dead spot in the middle, it does not fail to thrill and chill, and if that is your cup of tea, it comes highly recommended.
02/08/03
A masterful supernatural thriller, using simple techniques to remarkable effect.

11/12/02
A solid, smart, gripping tale of terror with the wit to scare us silly.
10/15/02
A crafty piece of work, ending with a pair of marvelous twists.
09/26/02
Top CriticNone of the protagonists are humanized enough to elicit our concern for their well-being, and a puzzlingly sporadic narration takes audiences out of the moment.
06/05/02
'Possuídos' é um filme surpreendente. Na verdade, é tão surpreendente que você só percebe que havia algo a descobrir quando o filme acaba.
05/31/02
A human trifle that can be safely ignored in this eschatological genre.
