Entertaining, a true expression of losing patience in situations that most people "think,that's I'd love to doubt don't act it out in real life.

I absolutely love this film,"Falling Down",I love how the the character Michael Douglas portrays life when he gets fed up with dealing the "small print" of daily life,my favourite scene in McDonald's is a perfect example!Read full review...

Classic must watch !

A film classic. Douglas okays a complicated troubled and inherently unstable Man pushed over the edge by life changes. He then flips and the film takes place over that one day. There are scorching barbs at the state of modern US society aplenty.
Douglas is typically excellent. Read full review...

Superb Black Comedy

There is something greatly amusing about Michael Douglas walking into 'The Whammy Burger' to ask for breakfast, and then smashing the place up when he is told he is too late. Fabulously, that is only one of those kind of moments in this film.
The premise is that one day, under the stress and strain of modern life, Douglas character, known only as 'D-fens' just snaps, and proceeds to right some of society's apparent wrongs. Thus, we have D-fens terrorising two knife-happy gang members, D-fens teaching a nazi skinhead a valuable lesson and D-fens smashing up a shop because it's prices are too high, all whilst trying to get across town to see his daughter, who, thanks to his violent temper, he has been prevented from seeing.
The film is gritty, compelling, and rich with dark humour. As viewers, we probably shouldn't be laughing or cheering acts of vigilante violence, but there is that element in all of us; that little part of us which would dearly love to teach the obnoxious bus driver a lesson, or ask the staff in McDonalds why the Big Mac never looks like it does in the pictures. Thus, this film also superbly taps into human nature.
Needless to say, this is a film which cannot ever be regarded as dull. It's vigilante theme is riveting from start to finish.Read full review...

Don't go there.

Love this film, saw it years ago.
I always say to people "If you think your having a bad day"
watch the film Falling Down, then you really will know what
a bad day is.

Man on the edge

I saw this film many years ago and it still holds up today, great characterization and mixing questionable judgment and morality make it thought provoking and there's a splash of humour too. A good watching indeed.Read full review...

Terrible film on reflection but fun revisiting a film I have not seen since it came out.

Great price and perfect quality. However, I had forgottoen how poor the actual film was ... not one of Michael Douglas' best.

worth a play

like we all feel sometimes this film follows a guy who has had enough and cracks . if you haven't seen it its worth a look ,bit dated but that makes it better.
