Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Det. John Hobbes is convinced that when killer Edgar Reese is executed, all of his troubles are over. But when people he knows and people on the street start to sing the same tune that Reese sang in the gas chamber, and those same people taunt him, he is told that maybe the cursed fallen angel Azazel is behind it all. Azazel is cursed to roam the Earth without a form, and he can switch bodies by any contact, making him hard to track. When Hobbes is forced to kill a man possessed by Azazel, he must clear his name while protecting his family and others from the evil, vengeful Azazel.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Denzel Washington did ride-alongs with local detectives to prepare for his role. He soon learned that some of the cops carried a second pair of shoes in the trunk of their cars while on duty since the shoes they were wearing would occasionally get blood on them at murder scenes. See more » |
| Goofs | (at around 1h 45 mins) When Hobbes returns to the wood cabin towards the end of the film, he enters and stands looking around for a moment, with a window to his left. A definite human shadow can be seen walking past the window, despite Hobbes being alone. See more » |

| Quotes |
John Hobbes:
C'mon Azazel. Open your eyes [sticks a cigarette in his mouth] John Hobbes: Look around sometimes. [lights his cigarette] Azazel: What's this? You don't smoke anymore. John Hobbes: You're right I don't. You know why? Because cigarettes kill. Especially cigarettes laced with poison. Azazel: Bullshit. John Hobbes: The same kind of poisons you used to kill my brother. Azazel: Uh, uh, fuck you. John Hobbes: Yeah I know. It was so sweet. [singing] John Hobbes: Time, is on my side. Yes it is. Azazel: Fuck you, motherfucker. John Hobbes: [picks up his gun] Goodbye, Jonesy. [shoots Jonesy, who is possessed by Azazel in the head] See more » |
