Falling Down is a film about a man being pushed too far. And like all those who have finally reached the limit of the amount of crap they are willing or able to take, the (anti-)hero of Falling Down has decided to push back. Known predominantly only as “D-FENS”, Michael Douglas plays a straight-laced white-collar man who decides to just leave his car in the middle of traffic and walk home. However, his journey becomes one marked by the kind of destruction and fear that could only be inflicted by the hyper-repressed, fed up with the society he’s been so concerned about maintaining.
