Maria Q @MariaQe 4 days ago Falling Down is a fascinating portrait of a man pushed to the edge by a world he feels has turned against him. Michael Douglas gives a career defining performance as William Foster, an ordinary man who abandons his car in a Los Angeles traffic jam and sets off on foot, leaving a trail of violence and chaos in his wake. Robert Duvall brings depth and humanity to the police detective racing to find him. The clever writing explores frustration, alienation and the thin line between grievance and madness. What begins as one man's bad day becomes a disturbing look at anger and the cracks in the American dream. A powerful film that leaves plenty to think about. See more

Tam W @RetroTam Sep 27, 2026 I never seen this movie growing up and everyone i spoke to said it was fantastic, but i felt a little let down after watching it. It is a pretty good movie, but not great. Deffo worth a watch though at least once. See more

Evgenii N @RT14118979 Sep 21, 2026 Watching *Falling Down* from 2026 is a strange experience. Suddenly you can see the family tree: somewhere between *Taxi Driver* and *Joker*, with an economic crisis, social frustration and one man deciding that the rules no longer work for him. It is a strong film and a very good story. I only feel sorry that Douglas’s character didn’t make it another couple of years, just in time for the rise of tech companies. He could have joined one of them and, without any doubt, become a proper tech bro. And for me, as someone born in Russia, there is also something very Dostoevskian here. A man creates his own moral logic, crosses the line, and then slowly discovers what that logic actually means. In that sense, he is not that far from Raskolnikov. *Crime and Punishment*, Los Angeles edition. See more

Todd F @Tiddlows Sep 20, 2026 Falling Down is what happens when a bad day grows teeth. Michael Douglas turns one man’s walk across Los Angeles into a fever dream of rage, traffic, fast food, and collapsing civility. Funny, ugly, and disturbingly human. By the end, the joke is gone and you are left staring at the mirror. See more

Brandon K @TheKeizer Sep 5, 2026 The main character is what we all fantasize about doing, only a little less violent. See more
