This is a great film, it is a little overhyped but I found myself thoroughly invested in this film about a man who is slowly falling down mentally and can't take the pressures of his life or society anymore. By far Michael Douglas's (D-Fens) best performance ever as I believed his character of a man who has just had enough and just wants a day where he can let loose, doesn't mean he is right though and just remember he is technically the "bad guy" as this part of him that you see in the film has always been there mentally dormant.

I'll also give Robert Duvall (Detective Prendergast) his credit as well because he is amazing playing the police detective who is also falling down as no one wants to listen and hear what he has to say about these various crimes that are happening throughout this day, also yeah this film takes place over one day and I will say that you can feel the stress of these characters throughout the film.

If you are looking for a film that shows a mirror to society but also to mental health, I recommend this film as it is insanely clever in its direction from Joel Schumacher and it has actually got some really dark comedic moments. It's just really great filmmaking and it does deserve the credit it gets but some people have a habit of making it sound like the greatest, but I will say it is timeless.
