Review of Falling Down (1993) by Anthony P — 31 Oct 2015
A supposedly serious film, which in all truth for at least the first hour is a very good, black comedy. An estranged husband whose wife has taken an out an injunction on him, he supposedly travels to work and back each day, unbeknown to his mother that he had been laid off a month before.
Desperate to get in touch with his ex-wife and his daughter on his little girl's birthday, he encounters a couple of thugs who try to rob him, whom he takes revenge on in the deadlliest of fashion, hold up a take away as he cannot get breakfast 3 minutes after they have finished serving, completely destroys a grocers store when he cannot get change to make a telephone call and encounters a Neo-nazi shopkeeper when he tries to buy a pair walking boots.
With the saddest of endings this tells the tale of one man's bad luck.
