It's layered with a thin veneer of humor, but Falling Down is a grim look at modern society and small injusticies that mount over time to break you down. The main character may be crazy, but you can't help but identify with him. |

Watch it when your older so you'll understand more |
|
When I was younger this was definately not my favorite movie and I didn't like Michael Douglas at all. But this summer when this movie came once again from TV and I had nothing better to do I watched it for the third time and changed my mind. First time when I saw this movie my reaction was numb and I felt weird. I thought what a waste of time and I'll never make the same mistake to watch it again. Now that I'm older and "wiser" I understand the story much better. I even laughed many times during this movie. Well, here's the plot explaned by me with my bad English: There's this middle aged guy who sits in a hot car on a hot day and is waiting and waiting in a traffic line which isn't moving anywhere.

This is what happens when a man has had enough. Though it is somewhat frustrating to watch him spiral out of control. Most of the time you can relate to everything that is happening to him. It is Office Space with less comedy and more all-American psycho. If you like Michael Douglas check this one out. |

I've had a bad day or two also, but Damn! |
|
Tarkin nailed it--the beauty of this movie is the way michael douglas is able to draw you in so that you sympathize with his worst of all bad days. He gets crazier but you end up feeling that he is more and more justified. One negative I see is the racial stereotypes the situations in the movie perpetuate. |
