A remarkable flick.

Still great to this day. Excellent story, writing, directing and acting.
Falling Down is a psychological thriller, but is not seen as one. It's labelled as an intense drama, fact is it has all of those elements.
We see that the main character doesn't know what to do when he loses his job and his family, we see that he's in a hopeless situation due to him not sitting down and thinking things through properly.
A tense motion picture which should have been on The Academy Oscars List.
