Description: Homocide
detective John Hobbes (Denzel Washington) witnesses the execution of serial
killer Edgar Reese (Elias Koteas). Soon after the execution, the killings start
again, and they are very similar to Reese’s style.
Review: Thanks to detective John Hobbes, serial killer Edgar Reese is caught and
sentenced to death. The man doesn’t seem to care. Remarkably cheerful, he sings
“Time is on my side” from The Rolling Stones. Soon after the execution, similar
murders start to happen.
“Fallen” is a strong,
macabre thriller, that is very overlooked and underrated. I remember watching
it for the first time when video stores were still a thing. And it has always
been e favorite Denzel Washington. I hadn’t watched it for a long time, but it
still holds up and I love it just as much.
It’s a very original film,
with some great twist and a fantastic ending. And Washington is, as always, outstanding.
