Rose B love you Michael Douglas Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/17/25 Full Review Leaburn O A reasonable crime thriller elevated by Michael Douglas’ singular performance. The plot is baffling as is the dialogue which kind of fits the early 90s rubbish Hollywood writing we came to expect of the age. A lot of this film makes no sense but you have to let that fly. It’s overlong and drawn out. Watched on Netflix. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/06/25 Full Review john h The conceptualization of the American Dream is broken down by the reality we are faced with and the promised country that seems exactly the opposite as envisioned, notably economically and socially. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/05/25 Full Review Sebastian L After being on my watchlist for years I finally got around to watching Falling Down and was pleasantly surprised. Everything just falls into place in a way that's rare to witness. The script is superb, and the cinematography makes it really come alive. Even though the film is soaked in '90s culture and politics, the tone and the awereness makes the story timeless and maybe hit even harder today. Duvall's character might be a bit too familiar and I think Douglas' D-Fens could have been handled a bit differently, but you can't have it all. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/04/25 Full Review Alfie M Falling Down is not the film I quite expected, from the clips I saw I thought it was a low key comedy with a touch of drama but... This film certainly did hit deep. Falling Down is filled with talent, Micheal Douglas (who i didn't even know was the son of the great Kirk Douglas) who is absolutely amazing and is so talented at playing a ordinary guy who lets just say has his own problems. I could've watch Douglas just going around causing mayhem for hours because he's so entertaining. Other performances include a very memorable Frederic Forrest who is charming and crazy at the same time which makes it a abundance of feelings I get while he is on screen. And obviously you have to include Robert Duvall who is extremely talented in general and has a solid performance in this picture but the poor first half (writing) for his character slowly brings the film down in the first half, but don't get me wrong this film is still piled with lots of quality's. The film is a really good setting of mental health, William is just a normal guy and is struggling with job, family and personal problems I'm sure not even he knows but deep down he's still caring and that's the beauty of this film there is so much going on at once I feel like this film will be a picture on rewatch you spot so many different details and facts it's great! Another great feature is the films score, everytime the film is on Micheal Douglas the music goes from normal 90s to more anxious and creepy tone and not even he knows what's next. Overall I'm glad I'm back from my 3 day film hiatus and back with a bang! I just couldn't believe Kirk Douglas had a son of another great actor (that being Micheal). Falling Down is such pleasure and I will certainly be back for more.
