Falling Down - 1993
Micheal Douglas, Robert Duvall.

If you have not seen this movie you should go out and hire it now, I grabbed it one day when bored and skimming the weekly DVDs at a nearby video store and was pleasently surprised.

"A laid-off defense worker, kept from seeing his child on her birthday by a restraining order, looks at the landscape of moral decay in Los Angeles on one hot, congested day and, after being mugged, snaps. What follows is his bitter and pathetic mission of justice, vengeance and vindication that reads uncomfortably like too many news stories. Michael Douglas is identified only by his character's license plate, D-FENS, in this attack on social ills, a film originally seen as the displacement of power felt by many white American males."

This film shows a man steadily declining into insanity and moving from hero to villian. For those of you who have seen it, what did you think?

Yeah great movie and it did inspire Iron Maiden to write the song "Man on the Edge".

I agree, it was a very good movie, I was surprised by it, figured it would be something a little lame, but when I watched it, it had a good plot, and kinda made you think

Well, when I first saw it, it was by force, as I was young. But not too long ago, I heard the name of the film mentioned and went to see it again, and also was pleasently surprised by its (In my opinion) Crap story-turned great movie feature.

Dennis Quaid in his best role yet.
