On the day of his daughter's birthday, William "D-Fens" Foster is trying to get to the home of his estranged ex-wife to see his daughter. His car breaks down, so he leaves his car in a traffic jam in Los Angeles and decides to walk. He goes to a convenience store and tries to get some change for a phone call, but the Korean owner does not oblige, tipping Foster over the edge. The unstable Foster, so frustrated with the various flaws he sees in society, begins to psychotically and violently lash out against them.

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
It turns one man's slide toward madness into a wickedly mischievous, entertaining suspense thriller.
– Caryn James,
New York Times,
20 May 2003
rotten:
A real artist could make something incisive or darkly hilarious out of this moral tightrope act. Schumacher, veering recklessly between social satire, kick-ass fantasy and damsel-in-distress melodrama, plays the game for opportunistic cheap thrills.
– David Ansen,
Newsweek,
31 Mar 2008
fresh:
At first comes across like a mean-spirited black comedy and then snowballs into a reasonably powerful portrait of social alienation. The tone is unremittingly dour, however.
– Variety Staff,

rotten:
Let's face it, there is an element of truth in the character of D-FENS. But it is, finally, tabloid truth.
– Richard Schickel,
TIME Magazine,
18 Jul 2011
rotten:
None of the characters ever rises beyond the level of his or her generic functions, and by the end the overall emptiness of the conception becomes fully apparent.
– Jonathan Rosenbaum,
