About this movie

Academy Award-winners Michael Douglas ("Disclosure," "Wall Street," and "Basic Instinct") and Robert Duvall ("A Civil Action," "The Godfather") star with Emmy-winner and Oscar-nominee Barbara Hershey ("Portrait of a Lady," "Hannah and Her Sisters") in this action-drama about a man's odyssey into madness, prompted by the effects of modern city life. It follows two ordinary men: a laid-off defense worker (Douglas) driven beyond frustration in an endless traffic jam now on a path of violence and potential self destruction, and an LAPD detective (Duvall), only hours away from retirement who is determined to find him and stop his vigilante acts. Directed by hit-maker Joel Schumacher ("Batman Forever," "The Client").

Ratings and reviews

Awesome and really close to what happens when you push people that tell you please don't do that so good luck American this today everywhere in America north and south America

This movie is enticing. Very entertaining with just the right level of suspense and fear. You bet I'm also going to be reading some movie meanings and interpretations of this, it's wild.

Douglas and Duval are top of their games in this sad commentary on urban life struggles. A must see for all who believe thing's are spiraling out of control today.
