I'm not sure, I really don't like even going near anything with Joel Schumacher's name on it...

It is an interesting movie. It describes a man who has a nervous break down while coming home from work because he has a lot on his mind and he despises materialistically obsessed world which ruined his social life and in which he is stuck in.
And there's that motive of heat at the begging of the film which I noticed before in literature. It is always present when man does some irrational act of violence out of pure rage but his doing again reflects his true emotions which he would never put out verbally let alone physically react.
Thanks for reminding me of this movie. I'll watch it again as soon as I gain some free time.

Thanks for the synopsis there Milos I might look out for it on film4 or something I like films that are against materialism (oh the irony of them)
