Product Description

Amazon.ca

This film, about a downsized engineer (Michael Douglas) who goes ballistic, triggered a media avalanche of stories about middle-class white rage when it was released in 1993. In fact, it's nothing more than a manipulative, violent melodrama about one geek's meltdown. Douglas, complete with pocket protector, nerd glasses, crewcut, and short-sleeved white shirt, gets stuck in traffic one day near downtown L.A. and proceeds to just walk away from his car--and then lose it emotionally. Everyone he encounters rubs him the wrong way--and a fine lot of stereotypes they are, from threatening ghetto punks to rude convenience store owners to a creepy white supremacist--and he reacts violently in every case. As he walks across L.A. (now there's a concept), cutting a bloody swath, he's being tracked by a cop on the verge of retirement (Robert Duvall). He also spends time on the phone with his frightened ex-wife (Barbara Hershey). Though Douglas and Duvall give stellar performances, they can't disguise the fact that, as usual, this is another film from director Joel Schumacher that is about surface and sensation, rather than actual substance. --Marshall Fine

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent movie with solid performances April 18 2013
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Michael Douglas and Robert Duvall nailed it with their performances. Beautiful atmospheric camera shots of the sweltering urban sprawl. The plot shows how quickly someone's life can unravel if they take their problems out on everyone else around them. It plays out like a slow motion nightmare trainwreck ride to sheer rock bottom. Lots of life's little first world problems prove unacceptable to Michael Douglas' character as he descends further and further into his personal urban hell. As serious and gloomy as this movie can be at times, it definitely has some laugh-out-loud black comedy moments as well. Although it may be too wild and over-the-top for some, I would still highly recommend it. It's a gritty ride through urban chaos. I loved this movie and you might too. Check it out!

Oh...wouldn't we all want to do what Michael Douglas has done when we have finally had enough! He stands up to what is wrong, but alas pays the ultimate price.
