The freeways are clogged. Terror stalks our cities. And at shops and restaurants, the customer is
seldom right.
The pressures of big-city life can anger everyone. But Bill Foster is more than angry.
He's slipping over the edge. And ready to get even.
"I'm going home," Foster says as he abandons his gridlocked car (license plate: D-FENS) on the
hottest day of the year. Instead, he walks straight into an urban nightmare that is by turns absurdly
funny and shatteringly violent.
   It is the
     hottest day of the year.
 

Bill going Mad about not getting served for lunch

The traffic is
     at a standstill. A tense looking
   motorist furiously abandons his car.
   Walking to a nearby shop he asks for
    some change for the phone. When his
   request is refused, he swiftly
   demolishes the store with a baseball
     bat. But this is no isolated act of
    violence. And very soon Los Angeles
      is faced with its latest, and potentially
    most lethal, vigilante....


        This is the thrilling and sometimes downright
          hilarious tale of a business executive who
             one day, while caught in a traffic jam, loses
              his sanity and goes on a crime spree where
           he vents his rage at all the trials and
           tribulations we all go through everyday.
          Violent and insane he rages through Los
          Angeles on a mission of revenge against the
           world that's battered him down.

Michael Douglas and Barbara Hershey....til death do us apart..remember? does it ring a bell?

This is an
     escapist film capitalizing off of our collective
      violent nature, nothing Douglas does will
     surprise you, we have all thought about
     doing some of the things that he does. This is
    why his character appeals to all of us on
     some level. This is a truly original idea that
 really works.
