    Worth mentioning that Falling Down isn’t a revenge flick tho. DFens has nothing to revenge. His wife wasn’t taken from him.

    While there is a layer of class / social commentary, at the core of the story DFens had a psychotic break and is really a villain who caused his own problems.

    You could get similar vibes from maybe like Targets (1968)? It contrasts social issues affecting the times, against a crazy sniper at the end of his wits… and Boris Karloff.
