Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Although it received mixed reactions from critics and audiences alike when released in 1998, this supernatural thriller benefits from a sustained atmosphere of anticipation and dread, and its combination of detective mystery and demonic mischief is handled with ample style and intelligence. Under the direction of Gregory Hoblit (who fared better with Primal Fear), Denzel Washington plays detective John Hobbes, who witnesses the gas-chamber execution of a serial killer (Elias Koteas). But when another series of murders begins, Hobbes suspects that the killer's evil spirit has survived and is possessing the bodies of others to do its evil bidding. Even Hobbes's trusted partner (John Goodman) thinks the detective is losing his grip on reality, but the dire warnings of a noted linguist (Embeth Davidtz) confirm Hobbes's far-out theory, and his case intensifies toward a fateful showdown. Although its idea is better than its execution, and the story's film noir ambitions are never fully accomplished, this slickly directed thriller has some genuinely effective moments in which evil forces are entwined into the fabric of everyday reality. Among the highlights is a memorable scene in which Detective Hobbes must track the killer as the evil spirit is transferred between many people via physical contact. Even if the film is ultimately less than the sum of its parts, it's an intriguing hybrid that resides in the same cinematic neighbourhood as Seven and The Silence of the Lambs with a cast that also includes Donald Sutherland and James Gandolfini. Included on the DVD is a full-length audio commentary by director Hoblit, screenwriter Nicholas Kazan and producer Charles Roven. --Jeff Shannon, Amazon.com Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Demon qualityDenzil Washington stars in this high class chiller in which he plays a cop trying to deal with an opponent who could literally be anybody at any time. A good cast including John Goodman and Donald Sutherland provide excellent support. Combine this with a surprisingly clever script and decent direction and you'll find a film that thrills and surprises in equal measures. No more so than the ending which has a lovely twist which I certainly didn't see coming. Fortunately for us there is ...

This doesn't mean you must be officially Christian, Muslim, Jewish or from every another religion, as Atheism is at last. This is a good movie, better than middle productions of this class, but it's in the wave of supposed supernatural happenings, and police it's very dubious the ideal organisation to cope with such things. Devils or Daemons are I suppose a little difficult to put in jail. Personally I think this is ...

Rating: - Average Denzel FareAlthough this movie does require your full attention, it does not go unrewarded and you are not left at the end scratching your head wondering what had happened for the past 2 hours. All the answers to your questions are in there and that is why I think this movie is average. Rating: - Original, intensifying, but ultimately rushedWhen was the last time someone 'resurrected' the language of Aramaic in a movie? Well, there's THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST, but that dealt with the last part of Christ's life, this movie has very little, if any, relation to religion or anything pertaining to religion. In FALLEN, which was made six years prior to TPOTC, the topic of the film isn't about the son of god and his final few hours, the movie deals with an evil that lived at the same time as christ and is possibly as old as him as well.
