    Falling Down -1993

    Wikimedia Error
    I watched this this weekend almost 20years since I saw it one word Brilliant!
    This story almost seems like a Documentary today hits to close to home these days way ahead of its time!

          I thought it was over-the-top.

          It reminded me of Death Wish which tried to make everybody think EVERYBODY is evil

                  I think it was very cathartic to watch. So much tension going on with the exponential growth of the residential population of L.A. that it's no wonder people lose it.

                      I have always liked this movie and even bought the DVD.

                          I'm with Mikey - it's fun exploitation, but I can't take it seriously.

                                  "You forgot the briefcase!"

                                  Classic!!


                                  I agree with you Mike. I thought it was pretty well done and definitely different. I bought the DVD so Maggy could see it as I had talked about how much I enjoyed the movie and she had never even heard of it.

                                              Awesome movie. Trying to get breakfast at the fast food place when they had just switched over to lunch was classic!

                                                  The traffic scene at the beginning is the best piece of frustrating angry cinema that you can see. It totally makes you feel what the character feels.

                                                      That was real life to you - not an exaggeration? I'm glad I don't live where you do.

                                                          Awesome movie!

                                                          I think given the times today with the economic downfall and hard times people are facing, this movie isn't all that unrealistic.

                                                          Push a person so far and a major backlash could happen!

                                                          It is just a movie though
