Falling DownFalling down is about an unstable guy that just gets pushed too far. After being fucked by society a man with nothing to lose finally cracks and just decides to go out and denounce all the bullshit that's taking place in our society. This movie is often funny and so gratifying throughout, Michael Douglas' character does what so much of us have wanted to do at some point or another in our lives.
Probably Joel Schumacher's best movie and with one of Michael Douglas' best performances, this movie is a masterpiece in every sense of the word. I said the guy from 500 days of summer was someone I could relate to, the guy in Falling Down is me (minus the whole going ape-shit part).
The movie is so effective in bringing its point across that near the end you start wondering if this guy, that has just gone on a rampage through town, is really the bad guy.
This is an incredibly smart and important movie that really needs to be seen by more people.
