Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Pjtaylor-96-138044 There is a bit of a tonal problem in 'Falling Down (1993)' because our protagonist is, ostensibly, both the hero and the villain. The picture doesn't really know how to depict his actions, either as some unsung heroics by a man pushed too far by a corrupt system or as the dangerous crimes of an increasingly violent individual who has psychologically snapped after not being able to take the seemingly only mildly more 'unfair' conditions he faces. It's here that the picture misses the mark ever-so-slightly, making multiple attempts to be a comedy but never coming close to being funny and also coming across as almost 'in poor-taste' at a number of key moments. It also manages to perform quite a decent character study of an unstable man slowly unravelling, though, and it does so without really wasting any time. It moves fairly fast, with a pace that usually works in favour of the sometimes strange tone, and it uses film form to play with our expectations in some exciting ways. Though it does suffer from a slightly strange structure because of its somewhat unfocused nature (a by-product of its inability to decide who it wants to be its protagonist and who it wants to be its antagonist), it finds its most success as an entertaining and engaging film that examines its core characters pretty well while decently delving into the underlying philosophy that kicks off its journey, whether or not its messages may be dangerously easy to misinterpret or take to the extreme. In the end, it's only because it's entertaining that it works as well as it does. 7/10

serafinogm Brilliantly played by Michael Douglas (in fact I think this is Michael's tour de force performance). D-Fens was a victim throughout, a man programmed to do the right thing but due to his victim-hood became disassociated from what was acceptable, so much so that a facsimile of right became right in any particular moment! D-Fens, like a rabid dog, and no more guilty of his illness than a dog with rabies, however despite this his illness, at least from the perspective of others, required he be put down (at least that is the pedestrian view) like a rabid animal. I on the other hand understand how D-Fens arrived at where he arrived and I view him as heroic, tragic figure!

ozart2002-919-392694 Many have already commented on this film, but after reading volumes of them, I have come to one conclusion - by sorting chronologically, it is quite apparent that the basic story line seems to even more applicable now than it was nearly 25 years ago. Society has become more polarized than ever (especially over the past 8 years), and the ever-increasing daily frustrations suffered by many are reflected in the ratings - the more recent ones are overwhelmingly positive (8-10).For the record, I find the message powerful....as society becomes more and more disjointed and divisive, my fantasies continue to move beyond money, fame, and love, into dreams of getting even with the self-important assholes of the world.

Andres-Camara Well, if this could have been a great movie, if only to get rid of the rage you carry inside. When you have a bad day, get home, see it and download, but Joel Schumacher has no courage to finish it well. In spoiler zone I will explain.Today that violence is so well seen, this film is based on it, but rather I think it is an irony, not what happens, but it is made for us to download. Everything that happens in the film would normally end with a bitch Michael Douglas that would go to something else and now. But here he has made it so that we all laugh. Or at least I take it that way.It is still a minor movie with an extraordinary cast. It's not a TV movie but it's very close.The picture is not fantastic. It is rather simple. It does not count.The address is pretty basic. Do not bore and laugh with her. But in matters of planes is simple.The actors are great. I imagine the filming, the laughter that would take off.Spoiler:The problem is that in the end he has to make a politically correct film and ends with that he has a disease so he has done everything he has done. So for me it has not made a great movie. If I had not done so, perhaps we would not have understood, or perhaps today would have been acclaimed, since violence is very well considered
