Review of Fallen

Fallen (1998)
6/10
Long in the tooth...too bad, because the acting and the suspense are solid.

The bad: half an hour SHOULD have been CUT OUT of it. This story has SO MANY repetitive scenes I got bored half way through. I blame the writer.

The story is about a demon that passes on from one person to another when they accidentally touch eachother. This goes on forever and ever. Pretty boring after an hour or so.

Not any good then? A pretty silly script indeed, BUT they somehow managed to suspend disbelief, because however silly this story might be, there is still a level of suspense and mystery that is quite enchanting.

More good; Denzel Washington Denzel Washington Denzel Washington. It is HE that carries this movie. It is HE who has that irrestistable charisma. It is HE that delivers another solid acitng performance. And let's not forget some other powerhouse legendary actors like Donald Sutherland, John Goodman and last but not least James Gandolfini. Actor's movie!

Mixed bag. Great actors. Silly story that is way too long in the tooth...
