Fallen, 1998

Fallen did something that very few movies manage to do.  It surprised me.  I did not see that ending coming.

This movie has its demons, literally.  It does not get too deep into the religious aspect.  It follows the cop, from a police officers understanding of the situation.  Not only is Denzel Washington the main character, but John Goodman is a great supporting actor.  Really have you ever seen a movie with John Goodman that was good, if not great?

The demon takes us on a murderous ride.  John Hobbes, the detective tries to track down the murderer without becoming a suspect himself.  What a ride.

5/5 stars just for the surprise alone.  It is also well directed, visually dark, and I liked, but not loved the characters.  It probably deserves a 4.5 out of 5, but that surprise, it got me.
