A few times every year, Hollywood makes a mistake, violates formula and actually makes a great picture. Falling Down is one of the great mistakes of 1993, a film too good and too original to win any Oscars but one bound to be remembered in years to come as a true and ironic statement about life in our time.

Falling Down is the most interesting, all-out commercial American film of the year to date, and one that will function much like a Rorschach test to expose the secrets of those who watch it.Full Review
Falling Down does a good job of representing a real feeling in our society today. It would be a shame if it is seen only on a superficial level.Full Review

Douglas's intentionally robotic -- and intense -- performance holds its own. He's scary, normal and funny all at once.Full Review
