RE: Falling Down (film): say hello to the bad guy that is in you

in #getyerlearnon6 years ago

How many times have you wanted to ask this question when stuck in terrible weather, with the traffic backed up, and an itching insanity?

This film is fantastic, with Michael Douglas giving his best performance since "Wall Street", Robert Duvall is also in fine form. To not see this film ever is a crime, far from the ones our main character "Bill" commits. D-Fens as his license plate identifies him as, spends the day, "going home" to his daughter's birthday, along the way meeting an assortment of characters, whom many of us, would probably like to see treated the way they are in this film, but due to our day to day realities, no one has the nerve to!

Take the lay-about asking for change, the construction workers "fixing the street" or the staff of a fast food chain all as prime examples. Not to mention the expletive loving hoods.

"Bill" takes them all on, as he strides through LA, on his mission.

A fine script, top notch acting, and tight directing make "Falling Down" a dream come true for viewers. Allow your darker side, to come out, because this is one film, which will play it for laughs.

A perfect score !!
