Review of Falling Down (1993) by Conner R — 07 May 2010
Unintentionally hilarious, but I definitely feel that this accurately depicts the mindset of sad, miserable working men of the late 80s and 90s. Stricken with divorce and a series of bad breaks, one man stands alone in the heat of LA.
This is in many ways the unofficial sequel and update to Taxi Driver with a lot more craziness. Michael Douglas really makes the character believable and even likable to a degree, you really feel him break and subsequently turn into a raging lunatic.
It's definitely a worthwhile movie and rightfully tragic for it's time.
