Down-to-earth flatfoot (Denzel Washington, always good to look at, to watch closely, to study) on the trail of an otherworldly serial killer, a fallen angel called Azazel, who has the ability, while manifesting no form of his own, to move from body to body at the merest touch. This makes it hard for the cop to pin him down, and hard for the filmmakers to paint themselves out of a corner. They don't try as hard as they might, and they are cheating outright with that first-person narration. Is there any significance, would you think, in the protagonist being named John Hobbes and the director being named Gregory Hoblit and hob being another name for the Devil? Wait until the end before answering. John Goodman, Donald Sutherland, Embeth Davidtz, James Gandolfini. (1998) — Duncan Shepherd
