This movie is quite unfairly forgotten, with it seeming like the only reason anyone knows about it these days (very much including myself) is that a bunch of people post that gif of Denzel's relieved sigh every time an old person trends on Twitter and they're not dead. It's a really neat blend of genres with a typical cop movie story being interrupted by a horror film and no one knowing how to deal with that.
Back in early 2000s I had a friend over and we were watching this I thought she had fallen asleep on the couch til she started singing time is on my side right after they stopped singing it lmao it literally made me hop up off the couch. Scared the crap out of me hahaha 🤣
Another great reaction!! One of the most underrated forgotten movies!! I have liked this movie from its release!! Thanks to your Patron for recommending this one!!! Nobody EVER reacts to this, and it truly is a shame!!!
Jessica, Haskin - True, true !!! But now that Sam has had the courage to try something new (in reactions), ⅔ of the reactors on the internet will have it up by next week. Thanks, Sam -
Idk why folks get upset about the "twist" ending. Azazel told us how it's going to end in the very first line of dialogue... "I want to tell you about the time I ALMOST died."
What can I say about Denzel that hasn't been said? Whether he played a villian or a hero, he often blurred the lines between the two. He was fantastic at doing that. Maybe some of it is the screenplays he chooses, but I tend to think he has a lot of license to add some of his own flair to the characters.
My friend and I saw this at the theater. We came out permanently creeped out by the song: " Time is on my side. " These many years later and we can still out of nowhere sing the line to each other and get a quick chill up or down the spine. A chilling story.
7:22 “I wonder why he (Reece) was getting recorded in the first place, though.” It was for a documentary. There was a throwaway line about it. Great video, by the way!
Another Denzel movie you don't hear much about these days is Ricochet, which I wouldn't exactly call a good movie, but it's worth a watch just for the novelty. It's a story that you'd think would call for a gritty, realistic tone, as Denzel's cop has his life systematically destroyed by a hitman he put away years ago (kind of a gender-reversed Gaslight, really), but it's all done in the style of a cartoony '80s action movie. Oh, and it's by Highlander director Russell Mulcahy, which really shows in a scene where the villain has a prison gladiator fight with wood swords (and that's somehow far from the goofiest part).
I loved this. Denzel is so good in this film, it’s like a very alternate Denzel film. And Donald Sutherland playing an arsehole…but l was surprised by how much l appreciated John Goodman in this film. And the cat, don’t forget the cat! They were so clever getting the Stones’ music on the soundtrack. Sam have you watched Don’t Look Now? It’s amazing….seriously. It might get you freaking out but it is so worth it. Thank you for brightening an afternoon in which I’ve been quite ill. (Diabetes, the shit it is).
I LOVE THIS MOVIE! Own it and watch it all the time. LOVE all the twists and even the religious connotations 🔥 Then when you realize you have to watch it all over again bc your perception of the narrator was off 😂👏 Gotcha!
🎬I saw this film when it came out. The critics panned it and it didn't do well at the BO and I never understood why. It may have something to do with the dark nature of the film. It just didn't land well. Its release date was in January, which was in H'Wood terms "out of season". That used to be a bad time for a release. After the holidays no one went to the movies. 🎬I believe Donald Sutherlands' character, Lt.Stanton, was always a little weird because of the unsettling nature of what happened to Gretta's dad. The experience you had watching Hobbes had to have been nearly the same experience he had with Gretta's dad. That's why he told Hobbes not to ask about it. 🎬I mean, how do you explain something like that when you don't exactly know what happened yourself. Great reaction!😉
34:13 Always love that twist. They get you so immersed in the movie that you forget that statement has been laying there from the very beginning. Although the audience didn't know it was someone other than Hobbs making it in the beginning. Still holds up. :-)
The lieutenant was trying to protect the department from the shame of the cops legacy. That's why he didn't want Hobbs poking around. That's also the reason why his name was removed. BTW, my fave scene is the "sandwich scene" hands down! The brother, though... 😢
Oh, you have wandered to my end of the street again with this one, madam. Honestly never imagined I'd see someone do a reaction to Fallen. It's one of those obscure movies I saw in the theater years ago when it came out. It's been a favorite that I watch every so often since, but I've never even really known anyone else who'd seen it. Now, within the last year, I've seen at least a couple people make reference to it and now an actual reaction video. Oh, I'm looking forward to this one. :-)
Hi Sam :) You've picked an excellent movie here :) This is a very different character for Mr. Washington, especially toward the end. But he does an amazing job as usual. Another movie that is somewhat like this is M. Night Shyamalan's DEVIL. Maybe next October?
I thought at the time this was the most terrifying movie I had ever seen because of the unknown nature of who the demon was possessing, and the hopelessness of dealing with such evil.
Years ago i spent the night at my parent's house & slept in my son's room. His job required him to be gone for 4 weeks so he wasn't there. In the middle of the night i was awakened by something PRESSING ON MY CHEST. It was a struggle to set up & all i could see was a thick greasy brown black substance swirling like smoke. For the first time in my life i screamed bloody murder & was able to turn on the light, of course everything looked normal. My son returned the next weekend from work & i only managed to talk to him as he helped me pack my car to go home so i started telling him about my experience the weekend before. I barely got started & noticed he had a strange look on his face. When i asked what was the matter he confessed the same thing happened the night before & it terrified him as much as it did me. He described the chest part like Denzel's nephew did, not just pressure like i felt. My son would've never said a word aboutt it thinking he'd sound foolish but when he realized it happened to me he couldn't help himself. He lived there for another year or so & always got his sleeping done in the daytime til he moved. He's a big strapping no nonsense guy but that scared the crap out of him.
🎵Time is on my side, time is on my side, yes it is, now you heard me say that you want to be free, but you'll come running, you'll come running back, you'll come running back, to me....🎵
Not gonna lie. I recently just rewatched this movie. By recent I mean as soon as I was done watching it I got on to CZcams typed “Fallen movie Reaction” and I ended up here. I watched the movie sober. Before watching this video I smoked at little something...... GREAT REACTION!!! I mean that seriously....... I LOVED IT! You are hilarious and have some extremely funny reactions. THANK YOU FOR THIS! 😂👍🏻
7:26 He was a serial killer. The filmmakers in the room around his cell when Hobbs went to visit him were making a documentary about him leading up to his execution.
"Fallen" was much better than the movie I've watched just the last week. What makes my blood boil is the fact that the "tomato" site described "Fallen" as "copycat" (40% of the overall score), while they've praised the new movie as a "original concept" (80%, of course, because why not).
Saw this movie on VHS, didn't know what it was about, then I learned it's about a demon possessing people, causing ordinary citizens to go on a killing spree in Philadelphia and only a homicide detective tries to figure out how to stop it, while dealing with his skeptical supervisor. It's "Seven meets The Exorcist." It has a crazy twist at the end.
'Love Denzel Washington, very believable and charismatic actor. Good reaction, by the way! The Leutenant was played by Donald Sutherland, veteran actor, and the father of Kiefer Sutherland (Lost Boys, Flatline, Stand By Me, 24 tv series -). Catch Donald Sutherland in the 1978 horror movie INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS (with Jeff Goldblum, Brook Adams).
21:41 Nowhere to hide. Not even in his own home. These are the moments that make this concept so unique. There are just multiple moments of "What the fuck do you do? How do you fight that?".
Never saw a reactor react to this (I know it's a Patreon silver bullet). This film, for all its weirdness, introduced me to Elias Koteas. You should therefore go forth and see "The Thin Red Line" and "Crash" for more of his work. He's also in "Zodiac." All great flicks.
Hobbs still managed to save his nephew and Greta. He also prevented Azazel from putting all those planned murders on his tab, as he put it. Take your wins where you can get them especially in such a one-sided contest.
I really love this movie and I don't understand why it hasn't gotten the love it deserves. It only made $25.2 million at the box office. It has a 7/10 on IMDB which is a vey good score but only 40% on Rotten Tomatoes. The cast is amazing and the performances are solid, especially Denzel and John Goodman. Back in the 80s The Dead Zone had similar issues. It is rated 7.2 on IMDB but only made $20.8 million. Home movie rentals and word of mouth helped keep this movie alive and it was eventually turned into a TV series.
I love this movie. My fav scene is the lasagna story. I use that to this day. We all have purpose, and it doesn't have to be big stuff, like curing cancer. It can be feeding people, etc. Find your lasagna and you'll be happy. Just fab little lines and drops of wisdom throughout the movie.
This is a film that stuck with me & one that's unfairly forgotten by many ppl, there are other supernatural/religious(ish) films that are worth a watch - The Prophecy franchise (definitely the first one) & Legion (2010) being the ones I can remember off the top of my head.
@TheOGBojangles Occultist here. That's actually incorect. Fallen Angels are not demons and Demons have never been angels. Fallen or otherwise. They are not only separate entities but classes as well.
This is one of those rare examples where few have seen or talk about and I thought was just ok, but I also can never stop this one from coming to mind every now and then.
Another movie is find that's unfairly forgotten is "End of Days", maybe because of the religious/Good Vs Evil theme. I love Arnold Schwarzenegger and Gabriel Byrne in it
This movie is one of our Family favorites, suggestion try mr. Brooks and devil's advocate. I'm just suggesting other Family favs. I know, weird Family right. 😏😏😉😉 Great Reaction!
Idk why but growing up I absolutely loved this movie. Saw it in the theatre like 3-4 times. It's so cool you reacted to it because I haven't thought about it in years!
Good for you! I see you're being more explorative with your movie picks. The rest of the CZcamsr reactors play it safe and only watch popular movies that guarantee alot of views. "Fallen" is a great underappreciated Denzel Washington movie. Thanks for being original. You earned a new subscriber.
Thanks so much! Welcome on in! These movie requests from Patreon really open the door for me for movies I've never heard of; that's why I love doing them! Also always good to stand out from the pack; do a mix of things that are popular and not so much That's the goal!
In case anyone's curious, Azazel was the co-leader of a sect of angels popularly called the Watchers. He along with another charismatic angel named Shemyaza developed a lust for human women. The two of them persuaded dozens of their angelic brethren to come to Earth in the form of men and they took wives for themselves. These women bore sons and these sons were the first Giants to dwell upon the Earth. At first, these Giants were heroes and men of great renown. However, over time, they became corrupted by their great strength and degenerated into savages that hunted and murdered those weaker than themselves. God of course was watching all this and he deeply regretted his creation of human beings as they were so easily manipulated into sin. He decided to destroy the world with a great flood but before he did, he blessed a man named Noah and gave him instructions on how to survive, this of course being the Ark. 100 years later, the Ark is finished, Noah and his family and a bunch of male and female animals survive. God is still quite angry, so he punished the Watchers (like they said in this movie here) by stripping them of their ability to take on a fleshly form. In other words, no more sexual pleasure. But Azazel unlike Shemyaza wasn't in the least bit sorry for what he had done so instead of just having his fleshly form taken he was also cast into the darkest depths of the wilderness where he was bound in chains to a great stone until the end of days where he would stand before God in one final judgement for his crimes. Fascinating story really.
The fallen angels were said to bring forbidden knowledge to humanity. Azazel brought the knowledge of weapons. In the Jewish tradition of Yom Kippur, an offering of two goats were selected by casting lots, one "for the Lord" and one "for Azazel." The goat (a scapegoat) for Azazel was sent into the wilderness while carrying the sins of the people.
I saw this about a decade ago and thought I'd remember it better, but I have to stop watching your reaction and come back to it after I rewatch it. Sorry about that, but I can enjoy it with you better when my memory is restored. 👍 Thanks. More fun that way.
@@OGBReacts finally watched this. I mistook this film for another Denzel movie called Déjà Vu, which I liked, but I found this film unbelievably preposterous and badly directed despite the excellent cast. It was like a squashing together of The Exorcist, another movie I couldn't stand, and John Carpenter's The Thing, a movie I really like,. Ugh.
@@OGBReacts I apologize if you've seen these, as I'm presently too lazy to look and see if you've reacted to these: Planes, Trains, and Automobiles Uncle Buck The Jerk To name a few. Edit: from what I could tell, you haven't seen any of these.
I liked the fact that the idea is it's a fallen angel hence the name of the movie but ya I wasn't a fan of the ending really. The movie it's self is very well done and definitly deserves more recognition because of the chill factor it gives without being a full on horror movie.
Whoa, what a great pic! Not many people know about this movie. I always its not that this movie is great , its just that this is how good you wish your average hollywood was.
This is such an underrated movie, you'll hardly hear anyone talk about it these days, but it really punches above its weight.
Such a good movie! My mom, sister and all will still randomly sing “time is on my side” and we watched it 23 years ago
I still sing it just because of this movie. First saw it when it came out on VHS
@@MikeB12800 omg same!!!
Came here just for this lol
Your Patreons are AWESOME!! no one has ever reacted to this!
They're kickass 😎
I know right 👌🏽💯💯💯 this movie is super underrated as well Denzel’s performance in it
The fact that I clicked on this so fast when I saw the title!

Great description of it!!!
the relieved sigh gif is from Training day!Nope, I take it back, I alwways thoought it was from training day though
Hallelujah! You chose a film that isn't recycled among every CZcams reactor. You're the only one I've seen, and such a great movie to be unique with.
Back in early 2000s I had a friend over and we were watching this I thought she had fallen asleep on the couch til she started singing time is on my side right after they stopped singing it lmao it literally made me hop up off the couch. Scared the crap out of me hahaha 🤣
John Goodman is such an underrated and under used actor. I would watch anything he’s in!
Another great reaction!! One of the most underrated forgotten movies!! I have liked this movie from its release!! Thanks to your Patron for recommending this one!!! Nobody EVER reacts to this, and it truly is a shame!!!
I'm so glad you enjoyed! It seems so many feel the same in terms of this being underrated!!

14:10 “Walk away, Mr. Hobbs” 😰
That line was subtle & terrifying!
Denzel, Gandfini, Goodman… spectacular cast.
Donald Sutherland! And Elias Koteas!!! He’s always great, even in the small amount of screen time he gets in this.
*critical plot development scene*
OG: 'This guy's eatin' a whole chicken leg!'
Cracking choice, another psychological horror / thriller that is often forgotten is The Cell. For some reason I return to Fallen and The Cell a lot.
This and The Devil's Advocate are my go to Halloween movie watching experience each year for like 25 years now.
SUCH a great movie! Denzel shows his acting chops here alongside John Goodman- and I was equally impressed by both actors!
My friend and I saw this at the theater. We came out permanently creeped out by the song:
" Time is on my side. "
These many years later and we can still out of nowhere sing the line to each other and get a quick chill up or down the spine.
A chilling story.
Thanks, Kathy Ice ! Good pic.
Mustache Man, whom you didn't trust, was Tony Soprano of
THE SOPRANOS.
7:22 “I wonder why he (Reece) was getting recorded in the first place, though.”
It was for a documentary. There was a throwaway line about it.
Great video, by the way!
Love this movie!!! Definitely under rated and doesn’t get enough word of mouth! I love that Azazel is narrating the story! Great reaction!!!
Another Denzel movie you don't hear much about these days is Ricochet, which I wouldn't exactly call a good movie, but it's worth a watch just for the novelty. It's a story that you'd think would call for a gritty, realistic tone, as Denzel's cop has his life systematically destroyed by a hitman he put away years ago (kind of a gender-reversed Gaslight, really), but it's all done in the style of a cartoony '80s action movie. Oh, and it's by Highlander director Russell Mulcahy, which really shows in a scene where the villain has a prison gladiator fight with wood swords (and that's somehow far from the goofiest part).
I loved this. Denzel is so good in this film, it’s like a very alternate Denzel film. And Donald Sutherland playing an arsehole…but l was surprised by how much l appreciated John Goodman in this film.
And the cat, don’t forget the cat!
They were so clever getting the Stones’ music on the soundtrack.
Sam have you watched Don’t Look Now? It’s amazing….seriously. It might get you freaking out but it is so worth it. Thank you for brightening an afternoon in which I’ve been quite ill. (Diabetes, the shit it is).
This is one of my favourite films of all time. So glad someone finally reacted to it.
"Somewhere. Anywhere. Reese."
I LOVE THIS MOVIE! Own it and watch it all the time. LOVE all the twists and even the religious connotations 🔥
Then when you realize you have to watch it all over again bc your perception of the narrator was off 😂👏 Gotcha!
YES!
Dope reaction. If you liked this movie, check out "The First Power." Another great demon film. Fallen was actually based a lot on that film.
YES! Jeff Kober scared the bejeezus outta me in that one - and Lou Diamond Phillips is great as Det. Logan.
OMG I just remembered the twist at the very end!!! ARRGGGHHHHHH!!!
2 other EXCELLENT Denzel Washington movies are Fences (with Viola Davis) and Antwon Fisher
If we're talking Denzel, then please allow me.....
1. Ricochet
2. Virtuosity
3. Training Day
4. Bone Collector
5. Book of Eli
@@QoQabai658 also add John Q and Man on Fire to the list. They are all good. The 2 I listed are 2 of my favorites
@@JillCrowe55 Oh yeah, they were good. Also, there's one more I definitely love, Malcolm X. Absolutely great film!
@@QoQabai658 Almost forgot Glory
@@JillCrowe55 We doing this?
Okay, how bout, He Got Game and the Hurricane. Both horribly underrated in my opinion.
Another good Denzel movie from the same period is The Siege.
More people need to be reacting to this film. Awesome to see you do it because it’s a awesome underrated film.
Funny, I was just thinking about this movie the other day. I need a lot more Denzel Washington and John Goodman together. What a duo.
The ending surprised the heck out of me too, back in the 90s.
Awesome reaction, this is one of Denzel's overlooked movies. Others are:
virtuosity
Mississippi masala
The bone collector
Bone Collector is also one of my faves.

That's actually incorect.
Fallen Angels are not demons and Demons have never been angels. Fallen or otherwise.
They are not only separate entities but classes as well.
I had the same reaction to the whole Gretta running from Azazel chain!
15:45 - they gave us the clue to the ending of the movie (about the cat) right here
You NEED to do a movie from the 90's called 'Copycat' (1995) with Sigourney Weaver, it's amazing.
Awesome movie!

Excellent reaciton...you should watch Arlington Road...with Tim Robbins and Jeff Bridges. Excellent movie
I always thought a good premise for a tv show would be Denzel's kid grown up and fighting demons, sort of Equalizer meets Supernatural.
My Mom made me get into this. I was about 11... And I still miss James Gandolfini.

Idk why but growing up I absolutely loved this movie. Saw it in the theatre like 3-4 times. It's so cool you reacted to it because I haven't thought about it in years!
Good for you! I see you're being more explorative with your movie picks. The rest of the CZcamsr reactors play it safe and only watch popular movies that guarantee alot of views. "Fallen" is a great underappreciated Denzel Washington movie. Thanks for being original. You earned a new subscriber.
Thanks so much! Welcome on in!
These movie requests from Patreon really open the door for me for movies I've never heard of; that's why I love doing them! Also always good to stand out from the pack; do a mix of things that are popular and not so much
That's the goal!
@@OGBReacts that's cool to hear. Also u can create your own niche and react to forgotten or underappreciated good movies
In case anyone's curious, Azazel was the co-leader of a sect of angels popularly called the Watchers. He along with another charismatic angel named Shemyaza developed a lust for human women. The two of them persuaded dozens of their angelic brethren to come to Earth in the form of men and they took wives for themselves. These women bore sons and these sons were the first Giants to dwell upon the Earth. At first, these Giants were heroes and men of great renown. However, over time, they became corrupted by their great strength and degenerated into savages that hunted and murdered those weaker than themselves. God of course was watching all this and he deeply regretted his creation of human beings as they were so easily manipulated into sin. He decided to destroy the world with a great flood but before he did, he blessed a man named Noah and gave him instructions on how to survive, this of course being the Ark. 100 years later, the Ark is finished, Noah and his family and a bunch of male and female animals survive. God is still quite angry, so he punished the Watchers (like they said in this movie here) by stripping them of their ability to take on a fleshly form. In other words, no more sexual pleasure. But Azazel unlike Shemyaza wasn't in the least bit sorry for what he had done so instead of just having his fleshly form taken he was also cast into the darkest depths of the wilderness where he was bound in chains to a great stone until the end of days where he would stand before God in one final judgement for his crimes. Fascinating story really.
The fallen angels were said to bring forbidden knowledge to humanity. Azazel brought the knowledge of weapons. In the Jewish tradition of Yom Kippur, an offering of two goats were selected by casting lots, one "for the Lord" and one "for Azazel." The goat (a scapegoat) for Azazel was sent into the wilderness while carrying the sins of the people.
@@StCerberusEngel Yep. It is said that the first witches on Earth were the former wives of these angels. Who knows?
Awesome 90's gem. I love this film!
I saw this about a decade ago and thought I'd remember it better, but I have to stop watching your reaction and come back to it after I rewatch it. Sorry about that, but I can enjoy it with you better when my memory is restored. 👍 Thanks. More fun that way.
Not a problem!! It's a wild movie, so I encourage you to watch/rewatch!!
@@OGBReacts finally watched this. I mistook this film for another Denzel movie called Déjà Vu, which I liked, but I found this film unbelievably preposterous and badly directed despite the excellent cast. It was like a squashing together of The Exorcist, another movie I couldn't stand, and John Carpenter's The Thing, a movie I really like,. Ugh.
@@robertjewell9727 Oh no! I'm sorry!
@@OGBReacts , oh, don't be sorry. You're awesome and I look forward to all your reactions.
Ominous af!
Plus we get Dan Conner!
😉 You definitely need to watch more comedy movies on Your channel! 😉
I do! You're correct! I'll happily take suggestions 👀
@@OGBReacts I apologize if you've seen these, as I'm presently too lazy to look and see if you've reacted to these:
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles
Uncle Buck
The Jerk
To name a few.
Edit: from what I could tell, you haven't seen any of these.
Great film that I haven't seen in years. Thanks for the reaction.
I liked the fact that the idea is it's a fallen angel hence the name of the movie but ya I wasn't a fan of the ending really. The movie it's self is very well done and definitly deserves more recognition because of the chill factor it gives without being a full on horror movie.
"The Hidden" is a 1987 movie similiar to this except it's an evil alien, not demon. Kyle MacLahan stars in it.
Tiiiime. Is on my side. Yes it is!
Whoa, what a great pic! Not many people know about this movie. I always its not that this movie is great , its just that this is how good you wish your average hollywood was.
i just watch this for the first time today.
Ye3, thank you for reacting t8 this movie. Might answer the question of why p3 do sick& violent things.
"He's eating a whole chicken leg..."
What's wrong with eating a whole chicken leg?!
Nothing nothing it was just funny to me that's all 🤣🤣
19:53 One of the most unique chase scenes ever.
Great reaction!!! Great selection!!! Please do 1408 or The Number 23... Perhaps The Exorcism of Emily Rose 🌹🌹🌹
Underrated Denzel Washington Flick & I Have It On DVD & I Haven't Seen It Since But Cool Reaction, Happy Halloween Sam 🎃🎃
