FALLING DOWN
The freeways are clogged, terror stalks our cities, and
at shops and restaurants, the customer is seldom right. The
pressures of big city life can anger everyone, but Bill Foster is
more than angry. He is slipping over the edge and ready to get
even.
"I'm going home," Foster says, as he abandons his
grid-locked car on the hottest day of the year. Instead he
walks straight into an urban nightmare that is by turns absurdly
funny and shatteringly violent.
Academy
Award winner Michael Douglas is Foster, an ordinary guy who
declares war against the frustrations of daily living. Fellow
Oscar winner, Robert Duvall, is the savvy cop obsessed with
stopping Foster's city wide rampage. FALLING DOWN is their story.
A spellbinding, unconventional thriller that asks, "Are we
falling apart?" Review from Warner Bros. video box cover.
James
Morrison plays one of many irritating triggers for Foster. As the
construction sign man at a bus stop, Morrison asks, "Where
you going?" "I'm going home," says Foster.
Construction sign man insists, "Not this way, you're
not." "Why not?" Foster asks. "Metro Rail
Construction, that's why not. Go around. Follow your
tootsies."
