Synopsis:
This version of FALLING DOWN follows D-Fens during his really, really bad day.
Intentions:
To follow D-Fens during his really, really bad day.
Change List:
The whole “I’m-a-cop-and-today-is-the-last-day-before-I-retire-and-I-really-should-just-sit-behind-a-desk-like-everyone-tells-me-to-but-there’s-just-this-one-case-that-only-I-can-crack-so-I’m-going-to-investigate-it-and-in-the-process-rediscover-my-love-for-police work-and-maybe-I-won’t-retire-after-all” cliche is really over done. Morgan Freeman in Se7en is the one notable exception. There really wasn’t anything wrong with Robert Duvall’s or Rachel Ticotin’s performances, but the whole police side of the story is unnecessary and, quite frankly, uninteresting. None of it really serves to further the plot except for the one scene with D-Fens’ mother where we get a little more background on him. The audience doesn’t need to see how the police catch up with D-Fens, just that they do.
Additional Notes:
- almost all scenes involving Detective Prendergast’s retirement, his personal life and the police investigation into D-Fens.
