Steineded How sad is this?

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Paul Magne Haakonsen "Falling Down" is a very memorable movie, and it is the type of movie that once you've seen it then you will always remember it. Yeah, because director Joel Schumacher and writer Ebbe Roe Smith really came up with something truly unique here.The story in "Falling Down" is an entertaining one for sure, and it is a blast to follow D-Fens/Foster (played by Michael Douglas) in his quest to return to his estranged family and having what seems like the entire world turn against him.Not only is it a solid storyline and plot that carries the movie, but it is first and foremost an amazing performance by Michael Douglas. And the role he was portraying here was a very different one from the usual roles he used to play in his movies, a bold move career-wise, but one that seemed to pan out quite nicely. Robert Duvall was also doing an amazing job in the movie, but then again he usually always is.The pacing in "Falling Down" is quite good, because the movie starts out in a pretty high gear and it doesn't really slow down to becoming dull or anything at any time throughout the course of the entire movie.The movie does raise some interesting issues if you think about it, such as are you yourself the root of the cause to all your problems, or is it mere circumstance, or is society conspiring against us all? And in that aspect, then it is definitely a blast to follow Foster as he makes his way through Los Angeles and face his problems head on."Falling Down" is a movie that can sustain multiple viewings. I think this is actually my fourth time to sit down and watch it since it was initially released, and it is as good and entertaining today as it was the very first time I saw it.

robodrolet This is a great movie that really makes you think. Michael Douglas is a defense contractor who gets fired then snaps. He's a conservative type who is sick and tired of all the things that annoy most people in everyday life, but goes to extreme fighting them. From fast food joints that stop serving breakfast at 10am on the dot to convenience stores that refuse to give people change for the phone and rich jerks dressed like idiots on golf courses who think they own the world. It's darkly funny but also a great drama that makes us think about things we sometimes take for granted. Great performance by Douglas here. Duvall is also good, and I usually don't like him as an actor.

Worldstone Whether you enjoyed this movie or not, you can't deny that at some point in your life, you will or you've already related to our anti- hero protagonist. You will face problems everyday, problems of all sizes, minor or major, and they will absolutely annoy you to the brink of losing your sanity.Of course, every person will take it differently. Falling Down showed us how even a simple and decent human being could get frustrated by the obvious, gaping flaws of society.I think it's safe to say that there is no coherent story, it's just about our main protagonist "D-Fens" (Michael Douglas) who's trying to get home for his daughter's birthday who was taken from him by his divorced wife. And he faces a plethora of obnoxious problems on the way which slow him down. Sounds pretty horrible and boring when you put it on paper, but this is a perfect example of a movie that's driven by dialogue and characters rather than an exciting plot.You will feel all sorts of emotions while watching this due to the actions done and words spoken by our main character. At times you will feel this movie was a black satirical comedy, and at other times you will feel that this is almost like a fictional documentary about how foul our society is becoming.I've seen this movie many times, and it feels like it gets better every time I watch it. 10/10

Dave On a very hot day in Los Angeles, the protagonist's life goes wrong over and over again as he travels across the city on foot to see his daughter. He becomes increasingly frustrated, angry and violent with the situations and people whom he encounters. This well-written, well-acted satirical film has drama, action, and very funny dialogue.
