[QUOTE="Deset Gled, post: 9131161, member: 7808"] On the original topic, Falling Down is a movie that had a handful of critics who reeeeeealy missed the point of the movie. I've been hunting for a couple of the ones that screwed up an actually thought Michael Douglas was the "hero", and I'm finding that a lot of them have been scrubbed from the internet. Specifically, Wikipedia notes that Kenneth Turan wrote a review where he though DFENS was the hero, but if you search the LA Times website for it, all you'll find on the free side of the site are a couple of follow up commentaries arguing with his original critique. I was going to argue with Ebert's original review of "Brazil", because I think he's much too negative and complains about it being "hard to follow". But after thinking about it, it's possible that the directors cut of the movie might have made a big difference in his critique. The version I'm most familiar with is the longer Criterion cut, and it does a notably better job of fleshing out some details. [/QUOTE]
