This movie is so cool. You know how you sometimes feel like you want to kill someone or take the law into your own hands? No? Yeah right. This movie took that feeling and showed what would happen if someone actually snapped and carried it out. But to make it brilliant, they made it a nerd, a weakling guy stereotype. Now he KICKS A**. Everyone at some extent has D-Fens, the character Michael Douglas plays, in themselves. Everyone's felt used or abused at one point or another. Even though D-Fens is breaking the law and doing bad things you CHEER for him because he is attacking truly awful things. He beats up and kills a white supremacist and violently anti-gay shopkeeper. He threatens a fast food chain with an Uzi because the picture of the food was not indicative of the product you receive. He beat some sense into gangsters. He went from a true American worker bee to a true American Hero. Or anti-hero? But most of all, the movie is fun to watch. That is always the most important thing.
