Storyline
| Plot Summary |
On the day of his daughter's (Joey Singer) birthday, William "D-Fens" Foster (Michael Douglas) is trying to get to his estranged ex-wife's (Barbara Hershey) house to see his daughter. He has a breakdown and leaves his car in a traffic jam in Los Angeles and decides to walk. Along the way he stops at a convenience store and tries to get some change for a phone call but the owner, Mister Lee (Michael Paul Chan), does not give him change. This destabilizes William who then breaks apart the shop with a baseball bat and goes to an isolated place to drink a coke. Two gangsters (Agustin Rodriguez & Eddie Frias) threaten him and he reacts by hitting them with the bat. D-FENS continues walking and stops at a phone booth. The gangsters hunt him down with their gang and shoot at him but crash their car. William goes nuts and takes their gym bag with weapons proceeding in his journey of rage against injustice. Meanwhile Sergeant Martin Prendergast (Robert Duvall), who is working on his last day before retirement, is following the wave of crimes and believes that the same man is responsible but the other detectives do not pay attention to him.

Gang Member #1:
Whatcha doin', Mister? Bill Foster: Nothing. Gang Member #1: Yes, you are, you're trespassing on private property. Bill Foster: Trespassing? Gang Member #2: You're loitering too, man. Gang Member #1: That's right, you're loitering too. Bill Foster: I didn't see any signs. Gang Member #1: [pointing at a piece of graffiti] Whatcha call that? Bill Foster: Graffiti? Gang Member #1: No, man. That's not fucking graffiti, that's a sign. Gang Member #2: He can't read it, man. Gang Member #1: I'll read it for you. It says this is fucking private property. No fucking trespassing. This means fucking you. Bill Foster: It says all that? Gang Member #1: Yeah! Bill Foster: Well, maybe if you wrote it in fucking English, I could fucking understand it.
