Remember that Hollywood movie where that poor, downtrodden, white-collar white guy completely loses his shit? What's it called? Falling Down. Right. Michael Douglas. Well, this movie is the story of a Palestinian father and judge who actually has cause to break down over the course of one unbelievably (and yet typical) day, who actually has cause to become an insane murderous freak a la Michael Douglas, but who doesn't, because, you know, not everything is about him. It is, for instance, his daughter's birthday. You will love this man.
