About this movie

A day in the life of a laid-off defense worker, estranged from his wife and young daughter, and driven beyond frustration in an endless traffic jam. After he abandons his car in the middle of the freeway, he crosses the city on foot, leaving behind him an escalating wake of destruction as his sanity crumbles in the face of contemporary urban reality.

Its all about upgrading after being downgraded. Find something new every time I watch this film. It touches on so many pieces of societies ills. My worst fear is that Hollywood will remake this gem and ruin it.

It's one of my favorites and it's a tale that speaks volumes to lots of people because a person can only take so much crap before they break. Being a nice passive kind hearted person can get you screwed over until you snap. Lol

Very well put together. True. A person can snap like that. And I really don't think one should be put behind bars for a psychotic mess. A parent can lose their minds when children are taken, kidnapped, life taken. Pray they snap back to themselves someday.
