Sight and Sound "...A stylish and expertly paced blend of autumnal atmosphere and compelling characterisation..." 03/01/1998 p.46New York Times "...With the warmly engaging presence of Mr. Washington...and with a brooding and literate noir screenplay by Nicholas Kazan, FALLEN was directed by Gregory Hoblit with the same dark intensity of his earlier feature PRIMAL FEAR..." 01/16/1998 p.E10 Los Angeles Times "...The payoff at the end of the road is a gem....It's a crafty piece of work..." 01/16/1998 p.C1 Chicago Sun-Times "...It never slips down into easy shock tactics. Kazan writes plausible, literate dialogue and Hoblit creates a realistic world..." 01/16/1998 p.36 San Francisco Chronicle 7 of 10 ...an intelligent film...the picture concerns itself with other questions of right and wrong and an individual's place in the scheme of things...set against the lightless background of Philadelphia in the fall, it is a bleak and genuinely creepy experience. - Mick LaSalle Reel Views 7 of 10 ...I'm...recommending Fallen on the strength of its complex plot and especially its ending, which I loved. The final scenes are startling, audacious, and unexpected. - James Berardinelli
