Description

Academy Award-winners Michael Douglas ("Disclosure," "Wall Street," and "Basic Instinct") and Robert Duvall ("A Civil Action," "The Godfather") star with Emmy-winner and Oscar-nominee Barbara Hershey ("Portrait of a Lady," "Hannah and Her Sisters") in this action-drama about a man's odyssey into madness, prompted by the effects of modern city life. It follows two ordinary men: a laid-off defense worker (Douglas) driven beyond frustration in an endless traffic jam now on a path of violence and potential self destruction, and an LAPD detective (Duvall), only hours away from retirement who is determined to find him and stop his vigilante acts. Directed by hit-maker Joel Schumacher ("Batman Forever," "The Client"). The New York Times called this "a wickedly mischievous, entertaining suspense thriller..."

    This movie is a masterpiece. This is what happens when the ills of the world completely defeat you and a person is driven to the point of no return.

    In the 90’s, this movie was what we all thought about doing. Today, it’s copied by real life. A normal person gets tired of the daily grind and pressure, and when he detours, he breaks all barriers before him. “I’m the bad guy?!?” Classic
  • Perfect commentary on postmodern society failing hard workers

    A true 90’s unsung classic Michael Douglas in Falling Down was an Unholy, Melancholy, Ill advised look at Someone’s Bad Day! The movie would be controversial these days But it rarely gained a blip in the 90’s! And even though morally you shouldn’t we did empathize with Michel Douglas’s D-Fense! The movie Definitely Falls in line!
  • Brilliant!

    All of the acting in "Falling Down" is superb! Michael Douglas and Robert Duvall are awesome. As it starts out, essentially, a bright man is quite stressed out. If you have ever driven in Los Angeles, you can understand why he is more than a wee bit annoyed! (I couldn’t believe how bad the traffic is there and I am from a very large city!) The plot WILL keep you entertained. Parts of the movie are really very funny although it’s not a comedy. I’m not going to give you any spoilers because that would ruin the movie experience for you. No hints either! Just go ahead and rent it! I sure wish I could see it again for the first or even the second time!

    I’ve never seen Michael Douglas in so good a role. Duvall is also good, and I actually could stomach Barbara Hershey (before the days she actually spoke her lines with her upper and lower teeth separated.) Worth the time. All other character actors were great, too.
