A Good Thriller Made Perfect By Denzel's Born Talent...
The story itself is a step away from the more common crime/scandal dramas and powder-puffed action suspense movies, not to mention the 'Man's daughter is kidnapped, Kidnappers die, Man and daughter hug and live happily ever after' scenerio which will forever pop up with popular and talented actors (Don't Say a Word-2001, Swordfish-2001). 'Fallen' is a suspense film, yes, but with a fictional dangerous-religion twist combined with the star power and more importantly tremendous acting talent of Denzel Washington. A detective, (Denzel Washington) becomes the target of a fallen spirit's vengeance who can travel from human to human by way of a simple tap or touch. Denzel untangles the ncient mystery of this demon and consequently becomes a timid believer in it's existance and power. The movie has an eery feel and a well-supported cast including veteran actor Donald Sutherland and part-timer on the big screen John Goodman. It's unigue expression of the vengfull demon story and the beautifully done dialogue by Denzel Washington make it what I think a terrific film, not another 'Hollow Man' that most would enjoy only once for its' FX and then let it drop to the world of Star Trek fans and sci-fi people. This mysterious suspensefull drama is interesting, well-acted and worth a good amount of credit in its' originallity and good direction. And for a small number of you, guess what, it has James Gandolfini! Oh wow, yes rent it because its' got what ever his first name Soprano in it. I hate that show, don't look for a review of mine there.
Don't mess with a demon.
If you are with the opinion that The Bone Collector, also starring Denzel Washington, sucked because the "clues" left by the killer on purpose to make fun of the cops was way too exaggerated and it had a very lame ending, this is what you need to watch because this one is dealing with that both cases near perfect. Everything is just fine in this movie; cast, plot, direction, music, ect. The story will keep you nailed to your seat from the very beginning to the ending credits. And Rolling Stones will keep you watching the ending credits. The atm

immensely popular STAR WARS franchise is generally regarded as the greatest movie ever made. Why? Well, what's not to like? From the opening shot of the Blockade Runner accompanied by that great theme tune by John Williams, you know you're in the unique world of the STAR WARS universe. Before George's prequels THE PHANTOM MENACE and ATTACK OF THE CLONES, A NEW HOPE was known only as STAR WARS. Audiences had never seen anything so original and amazing. Now, the series has entered into the fanboy culture all over the world. In comparison, Episode 4 seems so
