Fallen

The Story: Homicide detective John Hobbes witnesses the execution of serial killer Edgar Reese. Soon after the execution the killings start again, and they are very similar to Reese's style.

First let me warn you, this movie is not for the impatient, but if you really like a good thriller it's worth the watch.

Fallen is an excellent game of cat and mouse. The film's supernatural elements help to add tension and depth to it's characters, and they're not over the top like so many of today's movies (like Legion).

Fallen is the movie that made me fall in love with Denzel. It also gave me, my sisters and nieces the wonderful inside joke and car-ride game called "touch you make you ugly." Ten plus years later, it still holds up.
