Review of Fallen

Fallen (1998)
An interesting idea but poorly written.
13 July 2011
A supernatural thriller without any special effects is unusual but this one has nothing except the odd change of camera lens.

The plot is OK, a fairly simple good versus evil story, and the pace is decent, never too slow for long although never very quick.

The problem is the lack of personality of any of the characters, you have a good cast wasted. Washington is the only one given any real screen time but he doesn't bring any depth to the character, he tries but the script just isn't good enough. The rest of the cast are in the same boat, they are completely two dimensional. Even the villain of the story has nothing to offer, no humour, no creepiness and no real dialogue.

The ending is darker than I was expecting but other than that quite predictable.

Pretty boring.
