‘Falling Down’
Have you ever just felt tired and frustrated with your lot in life? Hopefully, not to the extent of William “D-Fens” Foster, played with a sad, matter-of-fact, ferocity by Michael Douglas. Devoting his attention to a film about one man’s struggle, Joel Schumacher renders a gripping tale of vigilantism that springs from his character’s growing disenchantment with the world around him. The filming of Foster’s rampage through the worst parts of Los Angeles after he snaps during a traffic jam is Schumacher at his finest.
