The scariest part about this movie is that it was made in the 90s. All of the problems that pushed Michael Douglas's character to the edge have only gotten worse and the life of the larger culture even more vapid in the past 29 years, and I feel that there's a lot more people that feel the way he did now than there were back then. I used to be one of them. I can only hope that more people out there can find hope of their own.

Lou Zephyr 100% in agreement; heres my 2cents T writers of tis film captured t 80s modern man completely here. It's t classic tale of t hare (society) n t turtle (Prendergast/ Individual - system - laws) I think just about every adult of this era even teenagers as I was when first viewing this.. was enraptured by t reality of our trivial pursuits, tht everybody is involved wth; encapsulated by t cliched scenes of tis movie drawing on t self-centredness each person, thinks, believes and acts as if it is t be all and end of t world...scenario/s per se'... T problem/s is uniquely there's alone, no one else anywhere in t world can know about it, be going through it, have any idea... and t thought.... Captured essentially in t opening act; his bursting out t car for dear life...as if he couldn't breathe literally... wth traffic surrounding; enclosing on him, radio broadcaster humming away, bad news and disasters all around; kids screaming in t background; a woman yelling... I mean wht a build up... I remember seeing all this whn we happened to turn t channel and just caught t beginning of t movie only catching snippets from ads before, not really knowing anything about it. At t point where he started chasing t fly around t car I felt his suffocation, tht things were slowly closing in...on him; then I had t distinct feeling he was going to burst out of t car and walk away... leaving it all behind... then he does... I thought this is going to be a journey, I think tis is going to be a great movie. Was even better then I thought/ anticipated! I thought tis movie is going to reveal t summation of modern day living n society of today in a nutshell and somehow infuse tis character into all of it. First we get a picture of a white collar middle age 'American' (land of t free/ where dreams come true) sitting on t freeway... traffic congestion... as if it's just a normal day at t office. Being... * he's white collar, so he MUST be earning a decent living, * middle to above at t least; car looks decent until t revelations of course and then immediately; * he's just in t normal evening process of trying to negotiate t traffic of progress and t reality of modern age man/ living? Then He loses it... T psychology of tis movie n tis scene is succinctly depicted (in tht opening) by Michael as everybody sitting there (in tht moving parking lot) seems to be only a distraction/ moment away from losing it/ madness/ total... it's revealing... So t story begins, but tis early depiction of self centred madness driving everybody forward to a conglomerate concrete jungle of funneled highways, byways; try-ways of congested traffic tht tests t patience of even t best of us... our self driven morale; justifying why we do wht we do and, we, meaning you, or I, must be first in line, anytime, everytime, all t time. Is revisited through out t movie depicting I, I, I, highlighted by t traffic scene at t construction site where we find t rich gentleman (So it seems) abusing t poor woman who he accused of cutting him off...on a 1km per hr funneled traffic zone; traffic controllers at point...they literally were at a standstill! But no, 'I' am more IMPORTANT! hence I must be in front of you. Except which I was t first I??? Hahaha Anyway... [T contrast is police officer Prendergast (?) whose t 'turtle' in t movie. Quietly going about his business, thorough and thoughtful, making sure of everybody and no one gets left behind (wife on t phone), no stone unturned!] We identify so much wth d-fense, in every scene, yet knowing there's a darker side brewing, hoping tht wth every adversity he encounters he MUST be working things out. Surely...He's no dummy, he's white collar after all. There must be more to this. Only in t scene at t plastic surgeon house do we see a self reflective moment. A very poignant moment reflecting changing times/ changing of t guard so to speak. Here, we are watching a story, of a life depicted in film wth every living cliche shown in light humor; but t reality is, whn one thinks ones role, profession was much required in society, in t family unit, social circles... Only later, finds tht though one may reach t highest position in ones life tenure; this character was t epitomy of tht intellectual Everest society has ever so carefully depicted man as reaching for??? ... I mean this guy was THE 'Rocket Scientists!' Remember tht tired old cliche 'YOU DONT HAVE TO BE A ROCKET SCIENTIST?' As if being one solved all our/ ones problems and here we are confronted wth t reality tht even t 'Rocket Scientist' not only can live mundane lives but equally become redundant in a progressive technologised world we are quietly marching to wth no respite in sight... Only t cliff of reality ... Because as we become more educated, tech savvy, more affluent, knowledgeable, insightful, wiser to t physical, biological, intellectual, spiritual world of our surroundings... T age old question is revised nd revisited periodically to keep us grounded, yet always trying for answers on why we needing more and more and more; everybody being in a rush, yet nominally going nowhere... And thts where we find our reluctant hero as he confronts t 5 sensory organs weve been blessed with... in all its glory or lack thereof?

This movie is more relevant today than ever. It not only showed a breaking point of an honest hard-working man who gave his all to an ungrateful corporation and obeyed a dysfunctional system, but it also showed how he slowly got there by being pushed and pushed and pushed until he couldn't take it. And there was no one to bring him back. Then before he realized, he was the bad guy. That's why that line always gets to me. "I'm the bad guy?". The way he says it is painful. He thought he was going up against a messed up system, but all he did was lose his way, he snapped, instead of breaking free of that system. This is something to learn from, if things get too bad or stressful, it's okay to step back and even quit, say goodbye to everything and move away from it all, you don't have to end it or end anything else or try to change something in the system, or all you'll do is destroy your own life. Instead, just walk away. Walk an isolated, peaceful path.

Not quite. I am 19 years old, I recently finished seeing this movie and I feel identified with it. I would rather say that this film was made for current generations because it connects perfectly with the problems of society today.

Except he's NOT a normal guy. He watches old home movies towards the end of the film, and you see that he was always a psychotic, abusive bastard. The viewer is misled to think that he's just a normal guy, but his wife had good reason to leave him and take their daughter.
The scariest part about this movie is that it was made in the 90s. All of the problems that pushed Michael Douglas's character to the edge have only gotten worse and the life of the larger culture even more vapid in the past 29 years, and I feel that there's a lot more people that feel the way he did now than there were back then. I used to be one of them. I can only hope that more people out there can find hope of their own.

I just love how this is basicly just a character in an RPG leveling up. From bat to a knife from a knife to a bag of guns, so great.
Nothing more dangerous than a man with nothing left to lose. He got the upper hand because he'd already snapped and didn't care anymore at that point. He's had it with everyone and their BS. Such a great movie, so relatable. 💯
Plus He had the high ground from the start
I like how you had to say what everyone already knew watching the movie
I'm getting a bit emotional here. I wouldn't say he didn't care anymore. He just cared about getting "home". And yes, it is relatable. When life's kicking you, you really get that feeling that if you could just at least be home then things would be better. I bet millions of Ukrainians would like to "just go home" at the moment. I know my girlfriend talks about going "home" about once a week but it's about 30 years too late for her... :/

One of the most underrated movies of it's time. How it did not get any real positive looks from movie critics is puzzling.
They were afraid of it. The one thing elites fear the most is the productive class uprising. They (still) exist in great numbers but have the intelligence and ability to organize that the poor lack.

Lou Zephyr 100% in agreement; heres my 2cents T writers of tis film captured t 80s modern man completely here. It's t classic tale of t hare (society) n t turtle (Prendergast/ Individual - system - laws) I think just about every adult of this era even teenagers as I was when first viewing this.. was enraptured by t reality of our trivial pursuits, tht everybody is involved wth; encapsulated by t cliched scenes of tis movie drawing on t self-centredness each person, thinks, believes and acts as if it is t be all and end of t world...scenario/s per se'... T problem/s is uniquely there's alone, no one else anywhere in t world can know about it, be going through it, have any idea... and t thought.... Captured essentially in t opening act; his bursting out t car for dear life...as if he couldn't breathe literally... wth traffic surrounding; enclosing on him, radio broadcaster humming away, bad news and disasters all around; kids screaming in t background; a woman yelling... I mean wht a build up... I remember seeing all this whn we happened to turn t channel and just caught t beginning of t movie only catching snippets from ads before, not really knowing anything about it. At t point where he started chasing t fly around t car I felt his suffocation, tht things were slowly closing in...on him; then I had t distinct feeling he was going to burst out of t car and walk away... leaving it all behind... then he does... I thought this is going to be a journey, I think tis is going to be a great movie. Was even better then I thought/ anticipated! I thought tis movie is going to reveal t summation of modern day living n society of today in a nutshell and somehow infuse tis character into all of it. First we get a picture of a white collar middle age 'American' (land of t free/ where dreams come true) sitting on t freeway... traffic congestion... as if it's just a normal day at t office. Being... * he's white collar, so he MUST be earning a decent living, * middle to above at t least; car looks decent until t revelations of course and then immediately; * he's just in t normal evening process of trying to negotiate t traffic of progress and t reality of modern age man/ living? Then He loses it... T psychology of tis movie n tis scene is succinctly depicted (in tht opening) by Michael as everybody sitting there (in tht moving parking lot) seems to be only a distraction/ moment away from losing it/ madness/ total... it's revealing... So t story begins, but tis early depiction of self centred madness driving everybody forward to a conglomerate concrete jungle of funneled highways, byways; try-ways of congested traffic tht tests t patience of even t best of us... our self driven morale; justifying why we do wht we do and, we, meaning you, or I, must be first in line, anytime, everytime, all t time. Is revisited through out t movie depicting I, I, I, highlighted by t traffic scene at t construction site where we find t rich gentleman (So it seems) abusing t poor woman who he accused of cutting him off...on a 1km per hr funneled traffic zone; traffic controllers at point...they literally were at a standstill! But no, 'I' am more IMPORTANT! hence I must be in front of you. Except which I was t first I??? Hahaha Anyway... [T contrast is police officer Prendergast (?) whose t 'turtle' in t movie. Quietly going about his business, thorough and thoughtful, making sure of everybody and no one gets left behind (wife on t phone), no stone unturned!] We identify so much wth d-fense, in every scene, yet knowing there's a darker side brewing, hoping tht wth every adversity he encounters he MUST be working things out. Surely...He's no dummy, he's white collar after all. There must be more to this. Only in t scene at t plastic surgeon house do we see a self reflective moment. A very poignant moment reflecting changing times/ changing of t guard so to speak. Here, we are watching a story, of a life depicted in film wth every living cliche shown in light humor; but t reality is, whn one thinks ones role, profession was much required in society, in t family unit, social circles... Only later, finds tht though one may reach t highest position in ones life tenure; this character was t epitomy of tht intellectual Everest society has ever so carefully depicted man as reaching for??? ... I mean this guy was THE 'Rocket Scientists!' Remember tht tired old cliche 'YOU DONT HAVE TO BE A ROCKET SCIENTIST?' As if being one solved all our/ ones problems and here we are confronted wth t reality tht even t 'Rocket Scientist' not only can live mundane lives but equally become redundant in a progressive technologised world we are quietly marching to wth no respite in sight... Only t cliff of reality ... Because as we become more educated, tech savvy, more affluent, knowledgeable, insightful, wiser to t physical, biological, intellectual, spiritual world of our surroundings... T age old question is revised nd revisited periodically to keep us grounded, yet always trying for answers on why we needing more and more and more; everybody being in a rush, yet nominally going nowhere... And thts where we find our reluctant hero as he confronts t 5 sensory organs weve been blessed with... in all its glory or lack thereof?
I was lucky enough to live in the 80s and 90s and this movie is a reference and even a film to watch again and again because it best describes the awful reality of this modern and crazy world where dreams and hope have no place. 
Never get tired of this movie!

youtube comments be like "thing in past different from thing now, scary!"
Yeah because today we got even more incels that think society wrongs them at every turn.
Nah. Today he would’ve been blasted with 20-30 bullets, lol.
This movie is more relevant today than ever. It not only showed a breaking point of an honest hard-working man who gave his all to an ungrateful corporation and obeyed a dysfunctional system, but it also showed how he slowly got there by being pushed and pushed and pushed until he couldn't take it. And there was no one to bring him back. Then before he realized, he was the bad guy. That's why that line always gets to me. "I'm the bad guy?". The way he says it is painful. He thought he was going up against a messed up system, but all he did was lose his way, he snapped, instead of breaking free of that system. This is something to learn from, if things get too bad or stressful, it's okay to step back and even quit, say goodbye to everything and move away from it all, you don't have to end it or end anything else or try to change something in the system, or all you'll do is destroy your own life. Instead, just walk away. Walk an isolated, peaceful path.
👍🏽why do you think we have so many mass shoo.tings
Not really. He was a cunt before he snapped, hence his ex-wife ran away with their daughter. It's just about a dude rampaging through the city saying what everyone is thinking to justify his actions. He's literally an arsehole to the core. Honest hard-working man...
Good grief, another " ungrateful corporation " pu$$y.
More like he got screwed by the tyrannical govt and his cunt ex wife, as is usually the case since govt is wildly corrupt with favoritism toward women & against men.
@Denam it is not about weapons. The problem is your society. Your society forces certain people to go full-blown mental. Guns are readily available all over the world be it legal or illegal but none of them have such bizarre social problems as America
A film way ahead of its time!
I gotta rewatch this. I haven't seen it since sitting in the theater when it came out. It was bad ass then. I can't imagine how it will be as an full grown adult.
"Where ya going, huh!? Where ya going!? You forgot your briefcase!"
🤣
That was the worst balisong flip I ever seen. They’re lucky he went easy on them.
The fact that this movie, from what I understand, was filmed during the 1992 LA riots, actually adds to the intensity and paranoia to each scene.
Its the 1990s in LA. Crime was high on the rise people were going through tough times with extreme frustration losing their jobs and being jacked around to end their career.
Like LA now in 2022
@Ned Kelly why does everything has an orange tint to it?Is it pollution or was the sun more orangy?
@Ned Kelly they filmed right before and right after the riots
“You forgot the briefcase” Best part.
One of the Saddest but realistic movies, of all time!!! I can definitely Fuckin relate!!!! MD played a Hell of a character!!!! Perfect Roll!!!!!
I remember when this movie came out; no one I knew had heard anything about it until I found it at the gas station movie rental corner. I took it home, watched it, and it struck me like no other movie had before. I was just about 19 years old, had been working for a few years, and already felt this man's weariness and angst in my soul.
My story is similar. I picked it up at a rental place and had no idea what it was about, but I liked Douglas. Still one of my favorite movies.
That's kinda sad that you felt like this already at 19.
@@username-zj9id indeed it is. Cheerfully smiling while you feel like you've ripped your own soul out of the core of your being and stuck it in a blender for no other reason than the amusement of despicable people... It eats at you. What's really sad is the fact that at some point you realize you feel less like that, not because things have gotten better, or because you've adapted, but just because you've begun to actually inhabit that sickly grinning mask .
@@minkorrh yeah, I'm pretty sure that the whole house and ex thing would've sent me right over the high side... God bless you, man.
Renting a movie from a gas station? That's not something I've ever seen, I thought that you could only rent movies from those dedicated video stores, or automatic renting booths.
This man is a hero the entire movie. The world is rotting in complicit apathy.
He's psychotic!!!
No, it's like Joker and Peaky Blinders - if you idolise the protagonist you're missing the point.
@@parhhesiaand what point is that, pray tell?
@@parhhesia reddit opinion. foster did nothing wrong
@@albenoit4378 That he's an entitled and insane white man, and that while it's true many of his encounters were purely in self defense- I don't think he did anything wrong here, a lot of other ones were him getting enraged over relatively immaterial things that only further pushed him over the edge and past the point of no return, and which he could have de-escalated.
Saw this at movies. Spring 1992. I was 15yrs old
In the 90s Michael Douglas' character was seen as the bad guy. Now he's the hero
Underrated movie for sure. It's one of my favorites
A Señor Engineer at Defense Contractor and goes around with a hole in his shoe he must be ukrainian american
Good acting. I love it how he gets so emotional he almost cries when he says “you couldn’t let a man take a rest for 5 minutes on your precious piece of s*** hill?!!!”
No sht Rob T-2000 U Tell Them beep
