    This is a convoluted Omen-esque chiller from the director of Primal Fear, Gregory Hoblit. Denzel Washington gives a strong central performance as a Manhattan homicide detective pursuing a supernatural serial killer. The initial development of the tale is intriguing, with seemingly disparate strands of information gradually combining into the discovery of a vengeful ancient god. But the atmosphere is only fitfully scary because of writer/producer Nicholas Kazan's loose-ended, pretentiously unresolved script. While the best sequence has the evil spirit transferred by simple touch around police headquarters, it's the shock Revelations-inspired climax that makes the biggest impression — for being so outrageously daft.

    • Radio Times
  • "...With the warmly engaging presence of Mr. Washington...and with a brooding and literate noir screenplay by Nicholas Kazan, FALLEN was directed by Gregory Hoblit with the same dark intensity of his earlier feature PRIMAL FEAR..."

    Spooky & very entertaining.

    Together with Inside Man one of the two most original films in which the incredible Mr Washington has starred. Watch with an open mind!

    • 21 Mar 2006

    Kate Winslet's (Iris, Finding Neverland, Titanic) ability to talk filthy in her latest film amazed co-star James Gandolfini (Sopranos, 8MM, Fallen). "I was very impressed with how much stuff she could make up about sex," the 44-year-old Sopranos star said of the British actress who he gets hot and heavy with in Romance And Cigarettes. He says he remembers Kate, who plays his mistress in the film, being on top of him while they were shooting the raunchy scenes and thinking that he... Read more
