Review:
Tim: Fallen is an amazing movie. Denzel Washington is an incredible actor, and he is simply amazing to watch in this film. John Goodman and Donald Sutherland help the movie in their roles as cops. They are both completely believable in their roles. The film is full of suspense, twists and turns, and is very smartly written.

The plot of the movie is incredible. At times, the film is scary, at times you will be bewildered, and at times you will be enthralled in the plot. The film does a terrible job of balancing drama, suspense, and some supernatural elements. Washington really carries the movie, playing the role of Detective John Hobbes as only he can. This is a superb character. The end of the film is incredible, in fact- it may be one of the best endings to a film I have ever seen. It is unforgettable.

I wholeheartedly recommend seeing this movie. I know you will not be disappointed that you did. One last effect this movie had on me was that I sang "T-i-i-i-i-me is on my side. Yes it is!" for a few days afterwards. It's just too catchy not to.
