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.
