Falling Down [DVD] [1993]

The film is excellent as was the price and delivery

Michael Douglas plays a great down on his luck guy. The burger shop scene is actually what we think about our burgers 🫣🤣.A classic movie they cannot remake as tense as this film is to watch

Brilliant underseen/underappreciated 90s flick by the late, great Joel Schumacher! He needs more love rather than the hate he gets for his Batman films. Says a lot about todays society. The picture & sound quality is top notch for a standard bluray. At one point I had to check the back cover to see if it was a 2k/4k restoration.

Great service and item as expected

Forgot how many good movies Michael Douglas has done. My mum loves this movie so I bought it for her, she was very happy. Would recommend

A must watch. Again

This film is now almost twenty years old, and yet, it is now more relevant than ever. It is a brilliant film combining both an exciting thriller (with small amounts of action), blistering satire and social commentary, and laugh out loud funny moments. It is an intimate drama of one man's breakdown and the cop (on his last day before retirement) who has to find and deal with him, it is also epic with Los Angeles acting as the third major character. Perfect pacing and direction from Joel Schumacher, with special mention to James Newton Howard for a score which compliments the film wonderfully. Michael Douglas and Robert Duvall both brilliant actors, do this film justice, Michael Douglas is absolutely believable as the everyman worker, and Robert Duvall compliments Douglas' more showy performance with an understated one of the put-upon policeman.This new blu-ray edition finally gives the film the best possible picture and sound (still only Dolby 2.0). The bright sunny shots of Los Angeles and the close-ups of the faces, all with far better detail than the original DVD as would be hoped. The sound is clear and precise (no real workout for the surround speakers), which for a film of this type is all that is necessary. Extras include a fantastic commentary from the director Joel Schumacher and the star Michael Douglas recorded separately, also included is an interview with Douglas which covers much the same ground as the commentary, and the trailer for the film which is nice for completists. Although not the most overwhelming of extras it is more than I could ever of hoped for on a film that tends to be overlooked, probably due to the subject matter.Falling Down is one of my all-time favourite films. Great story, acting and dialogue. I think it can now be ranked as a classic, and definitely a must-see film.

Loved Michael Douglas in this probably he's best performance as well films powerful and shows how some people can snap under society's pressure.

Picture quality is great. Love the movie, had to get in blue ray

Tardo mucho en llegar pero merecio la pena. Un Michael Douglas y un Robert Duvall sobresaliente. Un clasico.

Comprato ,usato ,dal venditore Worldofbooksit (GB) ,arrivato anche in anticipo sui tempi previsti, a poco piú di 3€ in versione Regno Unito con il titolo originale FALLING DOWN ,a mio avviso piú appropriato di quello italiano, é perfettamente funzionante e sopratutto contiene una traccia audio in italiano.Il film é un capolavoro ovviamente.Consiglio a tutti.

La Patrie n'est-elle qu'un concept ? Ou bien est-elle réellement incarnée par les hommes qui la constituent ?Ce film n'a, a priori, rien à voir avec l'écrivain Français Céline, le réalisateur n'y fait même pas référence, et pourtant je fais ce rapprochement, car au fond, Joël Schumacher développe un thème existentiel et conflictuel très proche de celui abordé par Céline dans son célèbre roman "Voyage au bout de la nuit". Céline raconte ses rencontres avec les Français dont aucun (sauf un), n'incarne la France à laquelle il a cru, la France qu'on lui avait "vendue". De même dans ce film, un américain modèle va de déconvenue en déconvenue.Le récit développe donc le conflit existentiel d'un homme dont les compatriotes incarnent l'exact opposé de la Patrie qu'on lui a appris à aimer et à servir. C'est très bien pensé, très bien joué, et ça vous prend les tripes. De mon point de vue un très bon film, pas du tout pseudo, mais vraiment intellectuel, et qui aide à réfléchir.

Good movie it may be a bit old but we'll worth a watch
