The Bad Day of a Privileged Asshole is a better title.
Michael Douglas plays a guy who gets fed up with the inconveniences of modern day urban life so he sets out to make it a hundred times worse.
He's stuck in a traffic jam so he leaves his car in it and walks off, thus makes the jam worse.
He can't get change at a convenience store so he takes a baseball bat and trashes the place.
The rest of the movie goes on the same way. The only good part is when a couple thugs try to take his briefcase so he attacks them with the baseball bat (the only good part of the movie).
*spoiler*
At the end, when the police catch up to him, he's shocked that HE is the bad guy.

Yes. That movie could have benefitted with a cameo from Jar-Jar Binks.

The only movie I walked out on was "40 Carats"--I was horrified that a great actress like Liv Ullman
