About this movie

Academy Award winner Russell Crowe stars in UNHINGED, a psychological thriller that takes something we've all experienced - road rage - to an unpredictable and terrifying conclusion. Rachel (Caren Pistorius) is running late getting to work when she crosses paths with a stranger (Crowe) at a traffic light. Soon, Rachel finds herself and everyone she loves the target of a man who feels invisible and is looking to make one last mark upon the world by teaching her a series of deadly lessons. What follows is a dangerous game of cat and mouse that proves you never know who you're driving next to. Directed by Derrick Borte, written by Carl Ellsworth and produced by Lisa Ellzey (Warrior, Kingdom Of Heaven), Unhinged co-stars Caren Pistorius (Gloria, Mortal Engines), Gabriel Bateman (Child's Play) and Jimmi Simpson (Westworld, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia).

It was a fast paced, cutting edge film appropriate for this day and age. It kept me uncomfortably on the edge of my seat in a tense way that I have not experienced since I watched 'The Walking Dead' for the first Time! Russell Crowe gave a predictably impressive, intimidatingly scary performance, but was to my surprise quite overweight!... When did that happen!? I felt, it was an impressively clever, well put together film, that sends a philosophical message; to reminds us, on a humanitarian level, a little humility can go a long, long way... and that it never hurts to be kind to strangers...and last but not least that: Bad doesn't get better, until worse comes along! I am not sure that it is a good idea to compare it to but it definitely does remind me of the 1993 Classic : 'Falling Down'. I give this film two thumbs up!!

Here's Johnny! With a driving etiquette lesson for everyone! Very good acting from all the cast and of course Russell Crowe is brilliant. This is gratuitously and unapologetically violent but it is mostly mercifully brief! Suspenseful, clever tactics and fast paced. Never, ever HONK and keep your IPad charged (who knew?)!

Full on brutal right from the get go and entirely throughout! Intense, disturbing, violent. It felt like the movie didn't give enough time to deliver a satisfying, resolved storyline or develop character attachments, it just dove straight into the violence and stayed there the whole movie. CandyCane Scissors.. Seriously?!
