Falling Down

[vanhelsing]

Now come on. There can't be anybody on this website that hasn't ever felt the same way as Micheal Douglas's character in this film has ever felt? Falling Down followes the advetures of a middle aged, middle class unemployed office worker who is driven to go on a rampage of violence and destruction after being caught in a traffic jam on a red hot day and males his way across town to his wife and daughter who is not allowed to see and also follows Robert Duval who plays a desk based cop on what should be his final day at work before retirring and his attempts to solve the case. The film itself was popular with far right extremists due to the comments by a neo-nazi and the sequence in a Korean own shop.

Great film Vanhelsing. He just lost the plot altogether didn't he? An unusual role for Douglas.

One of his best, that and The Game and thats really about it, I did like Romancing The Stone but saw it so many times on tv that I got sick of it....

I watch it for the scene in the burger bar, It sums up exactly how i feel about misrepresentation and turd polishing in the consumer retail obsessed world i live in.

Re: Falling Down

a great film he really shows another side to his acting skills.. the burger bar scene is also my fave bit........the game with sean penn is a close second
