The editing of this movies unneccessarily switched from one scene to another. If they just followed the main character you would have a better perspective of the social issues. What a waste of good actors. Otherwise it showed that Douglas really can act if given the right role. Everyone else was just not at his level and over-acted their characters.

Now, I heard about this movie from a podcast and really enjoyed the concept. A man goes crazy, but it's not a slaughter. He goes on a total crusade against all the little thing in life people go through. Overpriced Items, stupid company policies, the arogance of people, and the harsh realization of the real world and how the balances just from unjust. The movie is a crime drama more or less. Both main characters have their own dark past. One seeks to retake it while the other is just trying to move on. However, there are many over the top characters in this movie and while they did annoy me I just loved the main character in this. D-Fens or Bill is just the average everyday guy who was pushed too far. His rage makes him go on his rampage against the unjust. However, he's just a tragic hero in this movie. He has a critical flaw, he comes to a realization of this flaw and he is killed because of it. It's really a amazing movie, At first I really sympathized with Bill. But as the movie went on we got to see how his intentions while good turned on him and even lead me to believe he was bad. I really enjoyed the movie, however, it's extremely sadRead full review
Falling Down is a jewel. Unlike modern “I can’t take it anymore” movies, the protagonist doesn’t kill all the bad guys, get the girl(s) and live happily ever after in the Hollywood hills. It’s more real to life. It’s a little dated, but the underlying issues haven’t changed — no matter how hard you try to play by the rules, you keep getting dumped on by everyone around you. I would bet that every director of a “get even” movie was influenced, either directly or indirectly, by this 1993 Joel Schumacher classic. It doesn’t have heart throbbing John Wick vengeance scenes; it’s more subtle than that, so it may not get some viewers pumped up, but it may be just the thing for those who wonder what it would take to drive a regular average guy to go postal.

I remember watching this when it first came out & I liked it. After all these years it's just too ridiculous. I'm a big Michael Douglas fan he did great acting. He's an angry person set out for revenge after losing his family to divorce and being fired from a Government job. He walks the streets with a duffle bag of weapons, filmed before cell phones so he stops at every phone booth to harass his ex-wife. Even though he's in plain site..nobody can find or stop him. Hmmm...really.

I don't know how a string of numbers can be coincidental. Let's flashback to 1965, bag of chips $1.12, AA batteries $4.29. Well? Where's my movie deal? Where's my limo to chauffeur me to MGM, 20th Century Fox or Paramount pictures studios? And where's my house in Beverly Hills? I'll trade you one of my free energy devices for one of these studios. I promise to be a good boy. :)
