Crazy nonsense fun
Annoyingly, we weren't sure about this film, so we watched the trailer. That trailer pretty much gives away all of the wonderful twists of this crazy, multi-faceted film.
A young couple pull one last robbery (when has that ever gone wrong?!) and quickly run out of petrol on the run. They find themselves breaking into the worst possible house, owned by a creepy couple who return shortly after.
The over-the-top acting is totally appropriate (luckily for Jeffrey Donovan) and serves to make this a great, not-too-violent or gory film.
Well worth a watch, but avoid the trailer!

Bad Day
Falling Down- is a excellent drama. It has suspense, thrills and mystery. Micheal Douglas is excellent in this.

The plot: A middle-aged man dealing with both unemployment and divorce, William Foster (Michael Douglas) is having a bad day. When his car breaks down on a Los Angeles highway, he leaves his vehicle and begins a trek across the city to attend his daughter's birthday party. As he makes his way through the urban landscape, William's frustration and bitterness become more evident, resulting in violent encounters with various people, including a vengeful gang and a dutiful veteran cop (Robert Duvall).

Its a excellent film and recordmend watching it.

"Oh, The Godfather. If it gets any better than that… I mean, it’s so beautifully shot. I’m not a fan of violent movies, but that one is such an epic film. The violence is part and parcel of the story they’re telling, so, it’s legitimate. In a weird way, I find there’s no gratuitous violence in it. Even though there’s a lot of shooting in that thing, every time there’s a shootout, I found it upsetting and horrifying as opposed to films which just trade on mowing human beings down. Those I find pornographic and not sad. I think it does damage to our society, personally."
