| Original Score: C | Sep 7, 2011

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.

Full Review | Jan 11, 2008

The first half of this movie holds some promise, but time is not on its side.

God (or the Devil) is in the detail: every time a fluid is taken into the body, the fidgety camera zooms in, fascinated, suspicious.

| Jan 26, 2006

A stylish if seriously far-fetched nightmare.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | May 20, 2003

A crafty piece of work, ending with a pair of marvelous twists.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 26, 2002

A human trifle that can be safely ignored in this eschatological genre.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 12, 2002

A pretty silly ride despite the film's obvious strengths and some genuinely eerie scenes.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 1, 2000

Fallen is not perfect, and eventually it even becomes frustrating. Threads remain loose, and the movie doesn't fully exploit its premise. Still, it would be churlish not to appreciate the ride.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 1, 2000

The idea is better than the execution.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 1, 2000

Unfortunately the film wafts toward Seven turf soon afterward and stalls on a heavy burden of metaphysical chitchat. Washington's dazzling good looks are the only reason to stick with it.

If you have an interest in capital-letter Good and Evil, in the abstract-theological sense, Fallen could engross you.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

It takes way too long for Washington to realize this is no ordinary villain, and by the time he does, you'll have a devil of a time caring.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 1, 2000

Somewhere in here, a cracking 90 minute horror-thriller is struggling to get out but amid the mire of confusing, messy goings-on, it gets lost completely.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 1, 2000
