Storyline
William (D-FENS) just wants to get home to see his daughter on her birthday. Unfortunately, nothing seems to be going right for him. First there's the traffic jam, then the unhelpful Korean shopkeeper who "doesn't give change". D-FENS begins to crack and starts to fight back against the every day "injustices" he encounters on his journey home. The film has a story running in parallel about a desk-bound cop who is about to retire. He's retiring for his wife's sake, and obviously isn't happy about it. The cop tracks down D-FENS and in the final scene..... Written by Rob Hartill

Trivia
In the scene in which the drive-by car crashes, there is a mural of Christ on the wall. This same mural is also present in Colors, also starring Robert Duvall, in the scene in which the police officer played by Sean Penn, spray paints a kid's face. See more »Goofs
Factual errors: Prior to firing the M-72, D-FENS does not pull the safety out, hence he should not have been able to fire the rocket. See more »Quotes
