Falling Down. 1993.
Michael Douglas has had some good roles over his career before this film was made and he manages to hold nothing back with his acting. Playing Bill who seems like a normal everyday average Joe who gets stuck in traffic and abandons his car and begins a morning of telling things how they are and embark on some violence.
Robert Duvall plats the detective who is retiring and trying to get through his last day with some work office pranks, nagging phone calls from his wife and piecing things together from a store owner who was attacked yet someone paid for a tin of soda, a gang were attacked and had a gym bag stolen full of guns and a hold up at a small fast food shop, all by a man in a white shirt and tie.
This film shows the decay of one man's life and generally becoming a somewhat anti-hero with glasses, Frederick Forrest turns up as a Army Sur-Plus store clerk who seems to agree with Bill's take on every day life and turns up thencreep factor a bit too much. To me this film does have its laughter/dark humour with the way Bill runs his mouth and says how it is but its very underrated.
