Bearing similarities in story and tone to Stephen King's recent novel The Outsider, which itself was adapted into an excellent HBO show, Fallen boasts a terrific premise that is solidly executed.
Speaking about this while promoting the film, the actor said:"Every society, every religion throughout time has another interpretation of that same thing, yin and yang, good and evil, god and the devil. As such, we actually are invested in and care about the characters by the time the movie takes a turn for the more fantastical.
This includes the one below in which Hobbes' colleagues at his police station - including a pre-Sopranos James Gandolfini! - become possessed one by one and taunt the detective.In fact, Fallen is very handsome looking in general, with director Gregory Hoblit and his cinematogapher Newton Thomas Sigel experimenting with lenses, film stock and film processing to give the movie a shadowy, otherworldly feel.
In terms of the latter, the actor makes the viewer instantly like and trust Hobbes as this honest cop, while also convincing as the walls begin to close in on the character and he becomes more desperate and tested by the demon.
