DVD Synopsis

Directed by Gregory Hoblit (Primal Fear), Fallen is a blend of the police drama and supernatural thriller genres. Homicide detective John Hobbes (Denzel Washington) narrates, taking the audience back to "the time I almost died." This sets a flashback in motion, beginning at the prison cell of serial killer Edgar Reese (Elias Koteas), who grabs Hobbes' hand and sings The Rolling Stones' "Time Is on My Side." After Reese is executed, Hobbes and his partner, Jonesy (John Goodman), find a seeming copycat killer, committing murders in a manner not unlike Reese. Hobbes is drawn into the occult after he meets theology professor Gretta Milano (Embeth Davidtz), the daughter of a dead police officer. Hobbes becomes a suspect himself, but he continues his search for the truth. Co-producer Dawn Steel died just as this film was due for release. ~ Bhob Stewart, All Movie Guide

Editorial Review of DVD

Gregory Hoblit's supernatural thriller Fallen comes to DVD with a pair of images. The widescreen anamorphic transfer preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1, which is preferable to the standard full-frame 1.33:1 image. A closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1, while a French soundtrack has been recorded in Dolby Digital Surround. English, Spanish, and French subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include an audio commentary by the director, producer, and screenwriter, production notes, and a theatrical trailer. This solid entertainment has been given a quality DVD release that will please the film's fans and will probably entice the uninitiated. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

Jason B. (Archangel) from HUNTINGTON, IN wrote on 4/2/2008...

To start, it's a Denzel Washington movie which means you can pretty much count on it being good even if you don't know what it's about.

The great thing about this movie is it harnesses the concept of good vs evil (angels vs demons) without all the sci-fi effects.

If you're looking for a good movie that will not only has great acting but keeps throwing in unexpected twists then you need to check this one out.
